Stewardess

I think the fad is on its way out these days, but I only rediscovered ribbon recently. When I was in my late teens/early twenties, I would wear a ribbon around my neck as a choker (that's right- just a piece of ribbon you can buy at the craft store). Now, I'm wearing the same kind of craft store ribbon, but as a feminine bow-tie, if you will. However, with this light blue sheer button down, I might look a bit like a stewardess. Nonetheless, I still liked the outfit and even scored some compliments at work that day. I wore the top with black paper-bag pants and black patent leather heels, to keep the outfit nice and dressy. For jewelry, I wore black stick earrings to both keep with the color scheme and keep it simple

Sparkly and Shiny

Tis the season to be sparkly! A couple weeks ago, I wore a grey sequin sweater vest with a white long sleeve shirt, a black skirt and grey tights (to match the grey top, but also to break up the black skirt with the black boots). To dress up the long sleeved tee, I wore a black 3/4 blazer and, then, brought the black together with the grey with a black scarf. For jewelry, I wore long dangly earrings with clear gemstones (I haven't worn these in so long, I almost forgot about them). To match, I wore a clear gemstone bracelet set my Aunt made especially for me. For makeup: grey and black eyeshadows and pink lip crayon that went nicely with the sequins.

Matching everything possible

I wore this outfit a couple weeks ago and LOVE it! Not only was it fun to put together and match up, but it looked cute. Floral clothing is usually fun for me to play with since there are so many colors to work with.  I wore this blanket scarf with a black skirt and tights as I do not currently have another skirt that would match. But, to make it work, I wore a black tee underneath this sheer top. I wore cream and gold heels to bring together the lighter colors on the upper part of the outfit. For jewelry-- lots of it, I wore a necklace that was purchased at the same time as the scarf since they matched so well in the store (both gifted to me), a peach rose bracelet and peach rose stud earrings, purple and gold dangly earrings (the purple beads go with the purple beads in the necklace), a gold and purple ring, and gold bangles....because all of the other jewelry was not enough. :) For makeup, I wore gold lip gloss and peach and purple eye shadows with purple eye gel liner.
