A couple weeks ago, I must have been feeling colorful and, without planning, used the same makeup combo almost all week long- fuscia lipstick and one bright yellow, teal green and navy blue eye-shadow palette (I did add in one additional palette for one outfit and used aqua blue instead of teal).
Do you have a favorite outfit below? I do!
Can you number the outfits in the order of my liking (A-C)? What about the makeup?
Outfit A:
On this day, I wore a bright, tropical sweater tee that is embellished with black beads. With it, I wore a black pencil skirt, but felt risky because I normally like this already-busy top just with the pencil skirt. Instead, I added not one, but, two matching necklaces: one adorned with a snake, a bee and a flower and, the other: three aqua pendants including (another) flower. The colors and the designs went too well with the top to not take the chance. Also, I wore an equally as colorful (teal and orange) clamp bracelet, which is a wrap-around tiger as well as an aqua and white beaded belt. For earrings, I wore oversized black cluster earrings that match very well with the beading on the top. As if I didn't mix this outfit up enough, I decided to, then, play down the colors, with black and white d'orsay sandals and a matching black and white handbag since the top does have white, as well. Since the necklaces are (faux) gold, they match the gold accents on my handbag. For makeup, I wore neon green ,aqua and neon yellow shadows with fuscia lipstick.

Outfit B:
This day was a little cooler, so I could finally wear this teal 3/4 sweater with this floral fuscia, teal and black pencil skirt- both items given to me- and an outfit I had picked out for a while. To go with the floral, I wore a black rose bracelet and black rose studs along with black rose adorned wedges. Also, I wore fuscia mesh earrings to tie the colors in. Also, because I'm chubbier these days, I wore a fuscia tank underneath the sweater, which also help even out the colors. Just teal and black eye-shadows for this outfit.

Outfit C:
Another floral print pencil skirt, but this one has SO many colors, so it's versatile. This time, I wore a colorblock tee, navy in the front, sea green and sheer in the back (like a mullet, only color) and mint green heels. While these don't really match the sea green, mint is in the skirt and somehow worked with the rest of the outfit. For accessories, I wore a green multi-colored, 3-tiered beaded necklace, a teal statement necklace with matching earrings, black rose studs, a black rose bracelet and a sea green handbag. Two necklaces as well as rose jewelry tend to be a thing for me this summer. For this outfit, all four colors in the navy/teal/white/yellow shadows.
