Don't kiss me, I'm not Irish...and I don't want COVID-19🍀

Yesterday, I was still sporting green the day after St. Patty's Day. Since we were still business-casual at work, I wore (another pair of) black ponte pants with black ankle boots. With this, I wore a parakeet-green sleeveless top, a matching bow belt and a three-tone green beaded necklace with green rose earrings. Since the belt has a silver spike accent, I wore ankle boots with silver accents, as well. Over the sleeveless top, I wore a grey waterfall cardigan. For makeup, I wore matching parakeet-green shadow with a fuchsia lipstick.

Happy St. Patty's Day! 🍀 Pot of Gold

It's probably the strangest St. Patty's Day I've experienced, so far, but I'm making the best of it and still wearing my green and gold. Since we're still business casual in the office, I'm wearing a green 3/4 tee with a cream and gold sweater over black ponte pants with black ankle boots. Lots of jewelry today- a gold-toned green and aqua metal rose statement necklace with a gold wishbone and clover necklace; a green wooden bangle with gold and cream bangles; gold hoops with green rose studs. For makeup, I wore gold and green shadows and gold lipgloss.

Happy go lucky 🍀

It's St. Patty's week albeit, it's a strange one. We have been able to dress down a bit in the office, so here I wore a sheer, forest green blouse with black ponte pants and black ankle boots. Since my pants and boots both have gold zippers, I wore gold jewelry: a gold wishbone and clover necklace, a gold, black and green beaded necklace, and gold stick earrings. For makeup: dark green shadow and gold lipgloss.

Show your colorful feathers

This outfit was planned around a multi-color beaded necklace adorned with a peacock. The necklace and charm have orchid stones and purple hints throughout, so I wore an orchid cardigan with it, which matched perfectly. With the cardigan, I wore black ankle pants and ankle boots and a black tank. To also match the necklace, I wore a multi-color, beaded cuff and multi-color beaded hoop earrings. The ony downfall is that the necklace is gold-toned whereas the earrings and bracelet are silver-toned. This is one of my big faux pas! For makeup, I wore a deep plum shadow and lipgloss.

'Tu-Pac Socks and Docs' Rhymes

This day, we were running some errands and fixing things. I wanted to be comfortable and in flats., so I wore charcoal leggings and a long periwinkle cardigan with Tu-Pac socks and Doc Martens. The toes of the socks match the periwinkle, but because you can't see that, I added brown to the outfit  with a brown scarf an- also a black scarf- to pull together the black shoes and tank. Because I still needed to accessorize, I wore silver hoops. For makeup, I was excited to use a perfectly matching shimmery eye-shadow.

Buh-bye Winter....I hope

Before winter is gone (being hopeful), I wanted to re-wear some sweaters that didn't get worn more than once this season. Here, I wore this charcoal ruffly cowl neck sweater with black skinny pants and charcoal ankle boots. Normally, I wear this sweater with a skirt, but wanted to be more casual and comfy for Friday. For jewelry, I wore a multi-chain and (faux) pearl necklace with matching dangly earrings as well as a gunmetal-colored wavy ring...you know, to go with the wavy ruffles....For makeup: charcoal shadow and a bright lipstick.

Teal me nothing

With Holiday and then Vday colors, I haven't been able to wear these teal and black plaid ponte pants too much this season. I wore them the other day with a faux-satin ruffle-sleev black blouse. I do have a teal sweater that matches really well that I wore with these pants before, but it's been unseasonably warm out. With the blouse and ponte pants, I wore black ankle boots and, for accessories, a gold, silver and teal multi-chain necklace with a copper-colored ring and copper-colored spike earrings, which both match the closure on button my top. For makeup, I wore teal shadow and a bright lipstick.

Back to Basics

I was giving a presentation again so, here I wore a black and cream printed 3/4 sleeve cropped, blazer that has an oversized collar. Admittedly, I don't think I've worn this in a year or two, but forgot how cute it is. With the blazer, I wore a black pencil skirt, black tights and black ankle boots. For accessories: a cream scarf with cream metal lace-patterned earrings. For makeup: black and cream shadows and a bright lipstick.

Valentine's Colors Day 19💕- FINALE!

This-is-the-last-Vday-Color-outfit. For the final day, I wore a pink skirt, blouse and cardigan with black tights and black ankle boots. It seems like a lot of pink in the pink-to-black ratio, but I did wear a black tank under my blouse, which can hardly be seen. For jewelry, I wore a blush,cream, and antique gold charm necklace adorned with sparklies, pearls and hearts. To go with the necklace, I wore antique gold dangly earrings, a cream rose ring and a blush flower ring, and an assortment of antique gold, cream and blush bangles. For makeup: cream, blush and black eyeshadows with blush lipstick.

Valentine's Colors Day 17💕

So close to completing Vday colors! I'm (currently, right now) wearing my last outfit, though there really could have been more. Below, I was wearing a sheer, summer vest- antique rose adorned with fuzzy flowers. With it, I wore a black long-sleeve tee and black ponte pants with blush ruffly booties. I accessorized with gold since I wanted to wear this locket, which is, too, adorned with th flowers. To match, I wore gold hoop earrings, gold and blush floral ring(s), gold and blush bangles and, finally, a gold belt mostly to break up the black. For makeup, I wore blush and black shadows with a blush lipstick.

Valentine's Colors Day 16💕

 This outfit is a little similar to Day 15 with the fuscia. I was also probably least excited about wearing this outfit for Vday colors. But, here I was, in a black 3/4 tee, a black pencil skirt and black chunky-heel knee-high boots (adorned with silver buckles). I wore a stretchy fuscia belt (also with a silver buckle) with a pink and fuscia striped and polka-dotted scarf. For jewelry- to go with the polka dots- I wore circle dangly earrings and circle-patterned metal bracelet. For makeup: plum shadow and a magenta lip crayon. Outdoors, I wore a plum beret. 

Belt: came with a hand-me-down dress I was given years ago; no longer have the dress, but kept the
