Beetlejuice

In looking back at this outfit from a couple weeks ago, the stripes remind me of Beetlejuice even if, in the movie, he wears black and white. Nonetheless, this black and camel blazer goes so perfectly with these black and camel colorblock heels. I had worn this outfit the day of event at work and packed a black and camel colorblock dress to change into, but was urged to keep this on. For jewelry, I only wore black stick earrings, which would have worked with the dress, as well. For makeup, camel and black eye-shadows.

Last hurrah

A couple weeks back, I decided to give this shawl one more wear before the spring comes. Again, because of it's multi-color pattern, I can do so much with it. But, this time, I focused on the mint green and navy. I wore a mint green cardigan with a matching statement necklace and bow earrings. For navy, I wore a watch, pencil skirt and tights and, then brown boots (also a color in the shawl). The zipper on my skirt (not shown here) and the watch are both gold, which matches my earrings and necklace.

 For makeup, I wore seafoam green shadow covered by an iridescent shadow and dark brown shadow for contouring.

Antique

One day last week, I wore this high-neck ruffly blouse, which I absolutely love plus it fits to a T! With it, I wore high-waist ankle pants and black patent ruffly heels. For jewelry, to go for a 'classic' look, I wore a modern day version of pearl earrings- double sided- and also, some pearl bracelets. One thing I might have done differently is wear pearls that match the buttons on the top. Lastly, a bun in the hair. Sexy librarian? Probably not, but maybe more of a mix between a sixties professional and a housewife in the early 1900s.

Grey or Blue?

I was recently given this crochet-back cardigan and I wanted to wear this necklace again (I've only worn it once), so it helped pre-determine the rest of the outfit. Next, I knew I would wear a grey shirt under the cardigan to bring the beige and grey together in the outfit....Although, some were saying the necklace is beige and blue rather than grey...What do you think??? 

Since I won't get to wear boots much longer with the season change, I wore these beige boots that didn't match perfectly with the cardigan, but the buckles [on the boots] actually did. And since both the buckles on the boots and the necklace have gold tones, I wore gold stick earrings. For makeup, I wore beige and black eyeshadows (the black to go with the black skirt) and nude lipstick.

Sangria

On this day....which was a couple weeks ago (yikes!), I had been wanting to wear this peach blazer since I had only gotten to wear it once, so far, and I HAD to have it when I bought it in December. The next part was finding what I wanted to wear with it and ended up with this faux suede maroon pencil skirt and matching heels. To pull the maroon into the outfit, I wore a lace and floral print scarf. To go with the peach (and floral print) , I wore peach rose earrings and a peach rose bracelet. I also wore black rose earrings and cream and gold bangles- to go with the cream and black floral print in the scarf. The gold bangles match the gold beads on the rose bracelet and the gold accents in my peach rose earrings. One of the gold bangles is pearl, which also matches the pearls in my peach rose earrings. Lastly, I wore gold stackable rings, one of which was a cream rose.....

For makeup: peach and black eye-shadow and maroon lip gloss.
