Ketchup & Mustard or Stevie Ray Vaughn

We were on a staycation at this time, but it was a rainy week, so started with my maroon rain boots. From there, I wore a maroon long sleeve tee under a mustard waterfall cardigan and black ponte pants. My inspiration for always wearing maroon and mustard together is this floral and lace scarf. For other accessories, I added this maroon floppy hat, adorned with a fluffy ball-- just call me Stevie Ray-- and a mustard handbag and tassel earrings. For makeup: maroon and black shadows and maroon lipgloss.

One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater

I think this outfit was a couple weeks ago now-- it was a rainy day, so I wore a purple beret to cover up my straightened hair. But first, I picked out a purple pencil skirt to wear with this pinkish-purple cardigan, with black tights and pointy flats. I had been wanting to wear this sweater so I could match this colorful gold-toned peacock necklace with it. When I selected the pencil skirt, which has a silver back zipper, I added another, long, gold and silver necklace with a translucent gem and purple beads on it. I could not wear a gold-toned necklace with a silver zipper, so I matched both metals by adding the long multi-metal necklace. The gold-tone matches the long necklace and so does the zipper. :)  For other jewelry and accessories, I added a two-toned, translucent gem ring; a silver-toned, colorful beaded cuff; and silver, colorful beaded hoop earrings along with a geometric, re-shapeable, iridescent purple handbag. For makeup, I wore plum and maroon shadows, and a fuchsia lip color.

All business

Wearing flat shoes the past couple of weeks, here I was in grey oxfords and a grey vest with a black pencil skirt, tights and top. For accessories, however, I kind of went overkill with black and gold tassel earrings, a gold, black, white and grey color-block statement necklace, a gold double-V necklace, gold stackable rings, a beaded, rhinestone head wrap and a black and white color-block handbag. For makeup: gold and black shadows and a bright lipstick.

Fine line

One day last week at work, I wore this black, white graph-lined, high-low blouse with black ponte pants and siiiigh) flat black ankle boots (still not in heels). For accessories, I wore a black and gold graph-lined bow necklace, a black and white color-block handbag, gold rings and black and gold tassel earrings. I try to keep all metals the same, so all gold here. For makeup: black and gold shadows and a bright lipstick.

Nightgown and fancy slippers?

I'm a little behind in posts. But, last week sometime, I wore this maroon long sleeved split tunic with black ponte pants to work. Since I'm still nursing an ankle injury, I'm still in flats- maroon to match. For jewelry: a long maroon and gunmetal necklace with a gunmetal ring and spiky earrings. For makeup: maroon shadow and lipstick.
