Out on the Town

I've barely worn these elbow-length gloves and purchased them on clearance years ago. I also wanted to wear this vest before the winter ended, so paired the two together. With them, I wore a long sleeve shirt, matching scarf, a floppy hat, and skinny jeans. I wanted to wear semi-flat boots and these have antique gold buckles, so I wore antique gold chandelier earrings and a matching bracelet, over my glove. Finally, I wore black eye shadow and fuschia lip gloss, to match the fuscia in the scarf.

Comfy casual

We went running around today. And, I don't think I've gotten to wear this jacket with a casual outfit yet, which is how I planned my outfit. Next, I knew I wanted to wear fuschia, so I picked out this scarf and, then a couple of shirts to mat0ch it. I wore fuchsia earrings and then tan and black eye-shadows with dark fuchsia lip crayon. I wore black skinny pants and slouchy boots with silver belt hoops to match the details on the jacket. 

Since I didn't have a chance straighten my semi-dry, frizzy hair, I threw it into a diagonal inside-out french braid with a head wrap. It adds a feminine flair to the moto-jacket look, along with the lace in my scarf.

Just peachy

I haven't worn this shirt in a while, but I was mostly inspired to wear it because I thought this necklace would match really well. To go with the necklace, I wore peach rose stud earrings and this gem stone bracelet. I finished up with peach lip gloss and eye shadow.

Name me!

I hadn't worn this jacket in some time, so I planned my outfit around it. Instead of wearing stripes like I originally planned, I opted for an aqua blue top and a grey tank underneath. I thought the stripes would make the outfit too casual and also be too busy. Typically, I would wear jewelry that matches the hardware on my jacket, but today I wore this new badass choker necklace. As a result, I wore earrings that went well with the snazzy balls on the ends of my necklace. I added this wrap bracelet (again) because of the color scheme with my shirts, but also because of the (faux) diamonds in my necklace and earrings My eyeshadow was charcoal grey and aqua blue. 

Jacket: TJ Maxx, $19.99
Aqua shirt: have had for years
Charcoal tank: Old Navy
Necklace: Frugal Fanny's, clearance $3.50!!!
Earrings: Burlington Coat Factory, 3/$4.99
Bracelet: RoseGal, approx $4

Matchy, Matchy, Shiny, Shiny

I hadn't worn this shirt in a while nor this bracelet, so I ended up pairing them together since they're the same color scheme. I was excited to realize this necklace went well with the bracelet, and then these earrings!!! (All pieces were received at different time.) All three pieces of jewelry have almond shaped jewels, which is why I matched them together. I wore charcoal and aqua blue eye-shadows to match.
