Olives and oranges

I recently picked up this skirt at a boutique garage sale for about $5-7. It was a little more snug than I had hoped, but still love the possibilities: burnt orange, olive, teal, (regular) orange (note the other jewelry I laid out that matches). Here, I wore an olive knit poncho with black tights and ankle boots. I was tossed up at first and had originally planned on the burnt orange, but liked the black more. For earrings, I was also tossed up on the burnt orange beaded or the olive flowers. Apparently, I was tossed up on necklaces, too because I wore two - one orange beaded with a medallion and one rust and olive stone. For makeup: olive and burnt orange shadows and teal eyeliner. While in the rain, I wore an olive rain poncho and a teal mask.

Tweed-y Bird

It was a warm fall day the other day, so I wore this mock neck tweed and color-block sleeveless top with a black pencil skirt, charcoal tights and ankle boots to match. For accessories, a charcoal headband and oversized black dot studs. For makeup, to keep a classy look, I went with red lipstick and charcoal and pale yellow shadows.

A little birdie told me...

It may be fall, but I really wanted to wear this multi-color bird scarf with some other colors. Over the summer, I wore it a lot with marigold, but there are so many other colors that I could spend all day making outfits with it! Here, I wore the scarf with a fuchsia skirt and navy cardigan with navy tights and blue ankle boots. For accessories, I wore a fuchsia panda ring and multi-shades-of-pink tassel earrings and carried a fuchsia handbag. For makeup: fuchsia lipstick, navy and teal shadows and teal liner. (if only I could fit every shadow color on my eyelids, I would look like Rainbow Brite!)

Election Day

It's (finally) Election Day, so I wore red and blue to be in the spirit. The only white in this outfit is in my mesh red, white and blue beaded bib necklace. To go with the gold tone and the gold zipper no one can see on my navy skirt, I added a gold belt and wore gold stick earrings as well as eyeshadow. Also worn- navy eyeshadow and liner and red lipstick and red rose studs. I wore a red blouse and cardigan with navy tights and blue faux velvet ankle boots. Now, GO VOTE!

Shades of yellow

I decided to pull marigold and burgundy together to match a floral scarf. However, it seems I may have worn two different tones of marigold in looking at these photos. I wore a (lighter) marigold sheer high-low blouse with burgundy ponte pants and marigold chunky heels and a marigold handbag. For accessories: black rose earrings (to go with the flowers on the scarf), yellow tassle earrings, and the scarf. For makeup: marigold and burgundy shadows and burgundy lip gloss.
