I have been wearing the same one for years so mine is quite full of paint splatters. I actually wore it for a run to Home Depot once and the salesman sarcastically said, "Let me guess: You've been painting!" To which I had to reply, "Why no, I just thought this was the latest style!"</p> <p>You look terrific in your real clothes outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-meets-home-depot#post-1458724 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 09:44:45 +0000 Anonymous 1458724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol!

I miss you! And I am curious to find out more about the house sale and your moving plans. I had picked up in some threads that you were on a painting frenzy at the current house but thought you were redecorating, not moving.&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE your trick with the painting pants. Very resourceful of you. And for a Home Depot regular, I would say you look pretty darned fashionable in your rich hued demin outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hang in there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-meets-home-depot#post-1458661 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 05:07:44 +0000 AJ 1458661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to see you, Beth Ann!</p> <p>#1 I like the contrast of the singular white dot to the black pants. The addition of the graphic art is the icing on the cake!</p> <p>#2 Your pose really highlights the splatter design and that top knot has a fun bonsai tree vibe.</p> <p>#3 Purple + leopard+ gorgeous hair = Rawr!</p> <p>#4 Cobalt + moto boots + gorgeous hair = wolf whistle! (Which you must have heard while catwalking the HD aisles, right?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-meets-home-depot#post-1458655 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 04:57:55 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1458655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, it's great to see you! You are so funny; I love reading your posts. Just flattering enough indeed--you are one pretty painter. And 80s hair suits you well. Good luck with all the work! It's so nice that you got some good advice from Carter. Isn't YLF a great community? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-meets-home-depot#post-1458651 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 04:49:15 +0000 Beth Ann 1458651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I chuckled when I saw Angie's challenge.&nbsp; </p> <p>You see, I've been feeling rather painterly lately.&nbsp; In fact, I've been so inspired, I've actually painted most of my house:&nbsp; The family room, living room, DS's bedroom, the bathroom, and --- gasp -- my kitchen cabinets!&nbsp;&nbsp; We are preparing our house for sale, so my walls are neutral, and not nearly so colorful as Amiable's, but I'm finally starting to feel a sense of accomplishment.</p> <p>My fashion sense has definitely taken a dip due to my frenetic activity and the exhaustion that follows.&nbsp; My sense of humor, however, is mostly intact!</p> <p>1.&nbsp; <b>The bum of my painting pants.</b>&nbsp; I lost my balance on the edge of the tub and planted my left cheek on a newly painted wall.&nbsp; Forced to wear the symbol of my clumsiness, I decided to have a little fun and painted a smiley face and make lemonade!&nbsp; Take <i>that</i> Picasso!</p> <p>2.&nbsp; Me, in my entire painting ensemble, in a bedroom cluttered with displaced stuff during renovations.&nbsp; <b>It is JFE?</b></p> <p>3/4&nbsp; I do sometimes have to dress in real clothes to, say, buy another gallon of paint or find a screw of a particular size.&nbsp; I've opted for a basic color + denim uniform.&nbsp; My lack of sleep is showing here (and these are two of my best colors).&nbsp; I've also not had a haircut in over 5 months.&nbsp; I've got that 80's hair thing going, but at least it looks more feminine that the messy painting topnot!</p> <p>I've got to keep pushing until the end of the month, when the house should go on the market.&nbsp; Our local real estate situation is dire --- slow moving and low prices.&nbsp; We are hoping for the best!</p> <p>Special thanks to Carter, who has given me some great real estate advice! </p>
