Lady Gaga, Cruella DeVille or Black and White Cookie?

You choose the title! Comment below (↓) with which title you want! 

On Wednesday, we had a basketball game to go to, so naturally, I wore black and white. However, it was also 'Pink Out Night' for breast cancer, so I had to incorporate some pink in there, which also works out since I'm (still...) in Valentine's Day colors. I actually like this black and white color-block bodysuit much more without the scarf since the V-cut is cute. But, the blush pink scarf pulled the outfit together nicely with the blush pink sock booties. For even more team spirit, I wore black and white dangly earrings and used a black and white handbag. I also wore pink rose studs. For makeup, I wore blush pink lipstick and black eyeshadow.  

For bottoms, I wore these black, high-waist tuxedo pants. The sateen material at the waist goes well with the material of the bodysuit- shiny on shiny- see below photo. Still- wearing a body suit brought me back to 1993 and I forgot what a pain they are to wear even if it makes me feel like Lady Gaga. Ra-ah-ah-ah-ah.

Day 6 of Valentine's Colors- Actual Valentine's Day!!!

'twas Valentine's Day and I couldn't decide what to wear, so I went with both, red and pink! I wore this antique rose sateen cape blouse with a black pencil skirt and matching antique rose sock boots. For jewelry, a matching antique rose and cream-colored necklace with 'love' and heart-shaped charms. I matched miscellenous antique rose and cream bangles with the necklace, as well as rings. (All collected at different time from different places.) For earrings, again, I matched with the necklace and wore faux pearl and bronze studs. For makeup: pink and black shadows, but RED lipstick because, it was Valentine' Day, after all. I used a pink, black and grey handbag that says 'LOVE' on it. (It's small, so it really only comes out at valentine's season.) (Coolness factor: the shell is magnetic and interchangable.) Last, but not least, I wore a red shawl inside and outside, over my jacket. 

I still have more pink and red to come, but be sure to scroll down for another guest appearance of my friend, Katie- 14 outfits for February 14!

Day 4 of Valentine's Colors

Yesterday, I wore more burgundy- same shoes as the day before, but different outfit and accessories. I wore this burgundy high-low blouse with burgundy/grey/black checkered pants and the matching ankle boots. I added a black scarf since it looked like I was missing a necklace or something-- too much blank space. For jewelry, I wore gun-metal- a ring and spikey earrings, which match nicely with the grey in the pants. For makeup: maroon eyeshadow and deep plum lipstick. Outdoors, I wore this long jacket so my high-low top wouldn't peek out and a matching maroon beret.

Pants: NY&Co, sale, $15
Boots: Rue 21, $15

Day 3 of Valentine's Colors

I'm a little behind on Valentine's Day outfits, but this was the first time I had gotten dressed in days (after being sick). Yesterday, I wore rolled up jeans with this burgundy cutout sweater and matching boots and brimmed-hat and a floral/lace scarf. To go with the scarf, I wore cream-colored lacy, metal earrings. For makeup, maroon eyeshadow and lip-gloss. Admittedly, I have had this hat for one or two years and haven't worn it until now- it was too cute for the bargain when I bought it- it's really a better hat for fall than winter.

Go Pats! (...and Happy Valentine's Day month!)

Since today is Feb. 1, I already knew I was going to wear red or pink to kick off Valentine's Day month. However, it was a matter of what red (or pink) item I would be wearing. Since the Patriots will be in the SuperBowl this weekend, I went with red and the other Pats colors. I wore a red cardigan with a navy tank and navy tights and ankle boots (!!!) Instead of my navy pencil skirt, I wore charcoal because the navy skirt has a gold zipper. I knew I would be wearing this silver Patriots necklace, so I couldnt' mix the gold and silver. Also, for jewelry, I wore silver hoops and red rose studs as well as a Patriots bangle bracelet and red and blue charity bracelets with a silver ring. For makeup, I wore charcoal and navy shadows with navy eyeliner and red lipstick. 

When outdoors and traveling, I am using a reversible grey, navy and white handbag and a red shawl over my jacket with a charcoal grey winter hat.

Tank: Amazon, $5
Skirt: H&M, $9
Boots: Kohl's, $20 with coupon?
