Pink Fez Puppy

This was the week of Christmas break- can't remember where we were going, but I wore this cream puppy sweater with high-waist paper bag, ripped jeans and cream Chelsea boots. I added a pink hand bag to match the puppy hat and cream-framed sunglasses (because apparently we had sunshine at some point this winter ...). For makeup: pink and brown shadows and brown liner with a blush lipstick. For jewelry: brown-painted gold oversized hoops.

Presidents are Temporary, Wu-Tang is Forever 💛🖤🐝👐🏾

I probably shouldn't be wearing yellows having blonde hair and all, but have collected a lot of marigold items. If you don't know by now, I tend to live and compartmentalize in colors. And, this marigold, puff-shoulder, waist-tie tunic is one of my favorites to wear because it's so cute and, also because I have so many things to match with it! Here, I wore a marigold beret, tassel earrings, ankle boots and handbag. For makeup- you guessed it- marigold shadow ... with black shadow (to go with my pants) and a red lipstick.

Math class flashback

This was between Holidays in November. Guess I was feeling cute and wanted to wear this black and white high-low 'graph paper' patterned top. I paired it with white and black ankle boots and black ponte pants. For jewelry, I went with gold stick earrings to go with the gold and- also graph paper patterned- bow necklace. The gold tones went with the hardware on black and white handbag I used that day (not shown). For makeup: black and white liners with black shadow and red lipstick.

Taupe is another word for mole (mammal)

We were going to casual dinner with an out -of-town friend just after Thanksgiving here.

We weren't quite into the winter weather just yet so I wore high-waist paper bag ripped jeans with a taupe thin, ruffly sweater underneath a long fleece jacket (outside). I added taupe chunky ankle boots and, for jewelry: antique rose and taupe patterned tassel earrings. For makeup: antique rose and cream shadows with blush lipstick.

Christmas 2023 ☮️

So this was Christmas.... Tough year to celebrate. ☮️

Nonetheless, I wore a long-sleeve, forest green tea length dress with a red shawl and red stilleto boots. It was pretty warm so no jacket needed. For makeup: red lipstick, gold and dark green shadow. For jewelry: a mixed metals reindeer necklace, red rose studs and mixed metals small chandelier earrings. Both, the necklace and chandelier earrings (not a set) are adorned by pearls so they go together very nicely.
