TU-nacious

This was the first week of December, I think. With this black, multi-color plaid, puffy-sleeve tunic, I focused on the maroon this time by wearing a maroon tank underneath and maroon ankle boots and maroon shadow and matching lip gloss. For pants, black ponte. For jewelry, I just wore black tassel earrings.

I love this red tartan, asymmetrical high-low, lace lined blouse and the funny thing is I wear it maybe twice a year- Christmas time and Valentine's time. Generally, I wear it with black ponte pants, a black blazer and some sort of black boots- here: knee high. For earrings: red rose studs to go with the red and the lacy pattern and long, black crocheted earrings. 

For makeup: red lipstick and black shadow.

I think this was actually the first Holiday outfit I wore this season: a maroon pleated, satin, calf-length skirt with a sheer, floral, ruffle mock-neck blouse and maroon knee-high chunky boots. Instead of my normal peach rose everything (with the exception of rose studs), I focused on the olive green in the top too just it Christmas-y, so added a casual olive belt and adorned it with an oversized cream rose; an olive lacy ring; and an olive and silver earring/necklace set. Lastly, I added a cream rose ring. For hair, I threw it into a bow up-do, not my best work. For makeup: olive and maroon shadows, brown liner, and maroon lip gloss.

"You look like an elf"

Last week, I wore these red and purple plaid skinny pants with a purple mock-neck blouse, a red shawl and black chunky chelsea boots. I wore purple and gold geometric chandelier earrings and very similar necklace (not even a set!) with red rose studs and a purple and gold cocktail ring. I added a gold belt, instead of black, to go with the gold toned jewelry. For makeup: purple and gold shadows with purple liner and red lipstick. For hair, I did a little bow up-do, though but my best attempt.

I skipped over a couple of outfits to give you red- one week until the next Holiday. We went to a Holiday play this night so I wore a red sateen one arm, one off-the-shoulder blouse with black ponte pants and black chunky-heel, knee high boots. I added black and gold tassel earrings and, for makeup: gold and black shadows and red lipstick. 💋

This was a night out with friends to see some live music. I had planned to wear over-the-knee boots with shorts... which I still did.... except I added tights underneath because no one wants to see my icky rear thighs. So, here I am in fuchsia shorts (over black tights) with black over-the-knee boots and a black blazer over a cream ruffly spaghetti strap blouse. I wore fuchsia sparkly long earrings and, for makeup: black shadow and fuchsia lipstick.

Still not in red as this was in between Thanksgiving and the beginning of December, but I do promise some Holiday outfits. 

Here, I wore a lot of antique rose, all planned around the blouse, printed shawl and tassel necklace. I added a cream, lacy vest with black ponte pants, blush ruffle ankle boots, and an antique rose wide-brim hat. For additional jewelry, I added purple bead dangle earrings, cream rose studs and a purple flower necklace with cream and blush bangles and cream rose and antique rose rings. For makeup: antique rose, cream and purple eye shadow, purple liner and blush lipstick. The purple added in this outfit matches the purple flowers on the shawl.

We're getting to the in-between fall colors and Holiday colors now! This was a couple weeks ago when I wore these cobalt dress joggers with a charcoal, red-orange and cobalt checkered mock neck poncho. I wore charcoal ankle boots and cobalt tassel and red rose earrings with blue eye shadow and liner and red lipstick. Since the poncho is (meant to be) so big, I tucked in the front of it; an easy way to show off what you body actually looks like without having to tuck in the entire top.

Pants: NY&Co., clearance, $17ish

Shoes: The Shoe Store, years back, $20

Tassel earrings: Macy's Back Stage, $8

I suppose I can justify my fall color posts in that it may be the Holiday season, but it's still technically fall.  Here, I wore a camel peplum gold-asymmetrical zip-up cardigan with black ponte pants and a rust, camel, charcoal and black geometric shawl. I added rust ankle boots and rust beaded hoop earrings and a matching ring. I also added a gold geometric statement necklace with grey, black and cream colors- matches the shawl well. For makeup: rust and camel shadows and camel lip gloss. 

Shawl and necklace: Charmed & Dangerous, garage sale, $5; Upstairs sale items: $7

Sweater: NY& Co., sale, approx. $23

Pants and shoes: Amazon, $17; $20

Still getting through fall outfits! This was when I was going to breakfast one morning and I hadn't worn this 3/4 accent-sleeve, jade green shirt (not shown) this season, so I paired it with this multi-color plaid scarf and a mint green moto-jacket. I wore jeans and brown boots with brown wooden hoop earrings. The brown and jade both match the colors in the scarf. For makeup: mint and brown shadows and brown liner and red lipstick (not shown).

Shawl and boots: Rue 21, $5; $15

Mint moto-jacket: Kohl's, Lauren Conrad, clearance, $9ish
