Matchy, Matchy, Merrily, Merrily

In case you're wondering, I disappeared for a short while because I was wearing only pajamas for a couple weeks with a foot surgery. But, I'm wearing normal clothes again, with the exception of heels. Sadly, I'm restrained to these flats since they're open on the top. Also, needless to say, I had many Holiday outfits planned that I haven't gotten to wear. As a result, today, I tried to squeeze three into one. It just so happens, this outfit was more fun to put together than I thought it would be!! 

Logic: scarf matches green blouse, but I want to wear tights so my feet aren't cold. This means a skirt. Maroon skirt also matches scarf. I don't have maroon tights, but there is black in the scarf and I need to wear a tank underneath this blouse, so it will be a black one. Black rose earrings to go with the floral print on the scarf, but wait!! These cream statement earrings match perfectly with the cream patterned lace, too!! 

Makeup logic: dark green, dark green, where's my dark green shadow? Oh, it must have broken. Oh! I know! Maroon shadow and, instead of this black liner- green!!! Maroon lip gloss to finish.

It's raining- need a hat. Meant to wear that beret yesterday, but it'll match today and keep my hair dry.

Ron Burgundy

I wore this outfit about a month ago- maybe on a Friday? It consists of a high-low, burgundy blouse and charcoal, black and burgundy plaid dress pants. The blouse really needed a necklace, so I added this   silver multi-dangly necklace and wore gunmetal spike earrings and a gunmetal bracelet. I wore black ankle boots and, for make-up, burgundy eye shadow and lip stick.

Stuck between seasons

This was the day before Thanksgiving break, so I wanted to wear a fall color. Talk about contradiction, though-- I wore a springy skirt! With the floral skirt, I wore a marigold turtleneck and marigold heels. For accessories, I wore black rose earrings and a black rose bracelet. Since the turtleneck was so long and not really meant to be tucked in, I wore a thin black belt to break it up. I wasn't crazy about the belt not matching the shoes, but it was better than without. For makeup: marigold and black shadow and I likely wore fuchsia lipstick (not shown).

Ruffles, roses and lace- these are a few of my favorite things

I knew it was going to be a rough day when I picked this outfit- I thought that, if I wore something I loved, it would make me feel better about going into work. I wore this lace overlay antique rose mock neck blouse with matching ruffle booties and a cream, purple and antique rose floral shawl. I wore a tassel necklace that matches the shawl with antique rose and purple details. For bracelets, I wore cream and antique rose bangles and, earrings: gold stick to go with the gold in the necklace and bracelets. And, I added a cream rose pin to keep the shawl on. Lastly, gold, antique rose and cream rings and purple and pink eyeshadows with matte lipstick.

What a hoot

On this day, I was meeting up with my girls for brunch. Since I knew I wanted to wear this owl necklace, I wore this peach high-low top that matches a little with the pink tones in the owl's belly. For pants, black skinny and black ankle boots. For jewelry, I decided to wear this oversized red gem ring to match the owl's eyes and brushed nickel owl stud earrings as well as hoops. For makeup, I wore peach shadow and red lipstick.

One Day at a Time

I've been wanting a pair of high-waste, paper bag, wide-leg pants for about a year now and, finally, caved in. This particular pair is multi-color plaid, which makes them versatile, but also very 70s . However, I did manage to receive many compliments from other females- the hubby was not a fan. 

With the pants, which I can do a lot with because of the colors. I wore a navy turtleneck and dark blue faux velvet ankle boots. When outside, I wore a pink jacket and, also, a reversible navy and white printed handbag. For earrings, pink rose studs and, for makeup: pink and navy shadows and pink lipstick.
