Geometry

I'd been wanting to wear this poncho/shawl lately and, when I recently got these skinny pants, it made the perfect outfit. Why, do you ask? Because the pants are trimmed with (faux) leather and so is the poncho! I then added charcoal ankle boots, a grey shirt, and a geometrically shaped necklace (which is, unfortunately, not shown that well below). The pattern on the necklace matched the shawl perfectly! I wore gold stick earrings to match the necklace. For makeup: charcoal and black shadows.

Feminine Bada$$

On a cool fall shopping day, I was tossed up on what to wear. I opted for this pink moto jacket before it gets too, too cold. So, from there, I decided it was time to wear it with this floral skirt and Doc Martens-- an outfit I've been wanting to wear for a while. With it, I wore pink and black rose earrings, a black rose bracelet, and pink and black eye shadows, as well as pink lip gloss. For a short while I wore a black scarf (thanks to my Godmother, the savior ;) ) and really had meant to wear the cream colored scarf, shown below, but forgot to put it on before I went out.

Mauve-elous, darling

I always like charcoal grey with lighter colors, such as this pale puff sleeve mauve top. I wore a charcoal tank underneath and charcoal booties to go with my ankle-length dress pants. For jewelry, a long gold and mauve statement necklace and gold stick earrings to go. For makeup: pink and charcoal eye shadows and pink lip gloss. This was a cute, but business casual look.

Bibbity-bobbity-boo

My Godmother recently gave me this shrug, so I've been trying to think of what to wear it with. First, I decided I would wear matching shoes and, then, due to the weather, I wanted to wear pants. Since I haven't worn these maroon skinny pants in a couple weeks, I opted for them. Last, I looked for a top that I could bring the grey and maroon together and- voila!- there it was-- a multi-color floral blouse that happened to have both colors in it!! (These are the things that keep me going..)

For makeup, I wore burgundy eye shadow and lip gloss.

Back in Black... and white

I've been on an unplanned hiatus since May for no other reason than life gets busy! So, here I am with this outfit that I thought was so cute, I would make a comeback, yet again. Dressed for some team spirit...
