up, as in dressing (academy awards live blog)
Maybe, for you, fashion really makes an Oscar party. I don't mean what the celebrities are wearing. I mean what you're wearing.
Do you go all out for your Academy Awards get-togethers, with the sequins and the lace and the weird shower-scrubby dresses? Or do you, like me, figure you can't compete and stay in the comfiest, grubbiest clothes you can find?
For my red-carpet appearance this evening, I'm wearing a flattering steel-grey t-shirt by H&M, plus classic light-green khakis by Old Navy. I decided to go natural with my hair, so it's down around my shoulders in messy reddish frizz -- I mean, waves. My shoes are by Columbia, and they're super-comfy grey-blue hiking boots; the glasses are Guess, my everyday thin black wire-rims.
And in case I get cold, I brought along my soft black zip-up sweater with the giant collar. Where did I get it, you ask? Why, Target, of course. Yeah, I'm that high maintenance.
