Valentine's Colors Day 4 💕

Here, I wore a maroon high-low, peplum very flowy blouse with black ponte pants and maroon ankle boots. Since I'm really trying to get through the Vday colors (as to not be wearing them the entire month), I've been condensing what could be two different outfits. Instead of wearing this black floral and cream lace scarf in a separate outfit with the maroon boots, I wore it with this top and, then added cream colored jewelry- bangles and metal lace-patterned earrings. For makeup- maroon shadow and lipgloss.

Valentine's Colors Day 3 💕

On the third day pf Vday colors, I wore antique rose and cream, not to mention lace, for a vintage look altogether. I wore an antique rose blouse with matching ruffly ankle boots, a cream crocheted-lace, ruffly vest, and black ankle pants. To match the lace pattern on the vest, I wore a cream and antique rose-adorned rose statement necklace along with cream lace-patterned dangly earrings, a cream antique lace head wrap, a cream rose ring and added some cream antique rose bangles and (another) antique rose flower ring. I needed a belt with these pants, so I wore a gold one to match the gold-toned jewelry. For makeup: a muted pink lipstick and antique rose and black shadows. Very matchy matchy!

Valentine's Colors Day 2 💕

On the second day of Valentine's Day colors, I wore.....peach! 🍑A light peach blazer with tiered ruffles in the back over a black sleevless blouse and black high-waist paper ankle pants with black ankle boots.

For makeup: peach lipgloss, peach and black shadows.

Valentine's Colors Day 1 💕

It's that time of year again and I officially started wearing Valentine's Day colors on Jan. 27 since it took me so long to get through the pinks and reds last year. 

For day one, I wore a fuscia sweater and fuscia floral scarf with a black pencil skirt. I mixed in camel with boots I haven't worn yet this season and a camel belt. Since the belt and boots both have antique gold accents, I wore antique gold dangly earrings and a cuff. For makeup: fuscia lipstick and camel and black shadows. For outside, I added a fuscia winter beret.

Pansy

This outfit was inspired by a pair of purple drape pants that were overdue to be worn, and a striped belt from the 80s/90s. The belt has marigold, purple, aqua and pink stripes, so I used it as a way to pull together these complementary colors, purple and yellow (marigold). With the pants and belt, I wore the following in margold: turtleneck, ankle boots, beret and handbag. For jewelry, I wore a purple and gold statement necklace along with statement earrings that, believe it or not, are not a set (see details below) along with a purple and gold cocktail ring. For makeup: marigold and purple eyeshadows and a gold lipgloss.

Young Rust

I've been collecting the color rust lately. Here, I wore a rust ruffle-sleeve sweater with rust ankle boots, and a pimpin' rust fur jacket- all with a black pencil skirt and tights.

I wore camel, but it wasn't hump day

I typically wear this camel and black plaid midi-pencil skirt in the warmer weather. But, here, I repurposed it for winter with a black cowl neck sweater and over-the-knee boots. For accessories, I wore black and gold tassle earrings, gold stackable rings, and used a black and gold handbag. For makeup: camel and black shadows and a bright lipstick.

It was a casual Holiday for MLK Day, so I was comfy in leggings, an MLK tee, a duster and some Docs. Admittedly, I may have worn this two weekends in a row....

Cheerleader

We were going to a school hockey game, so I wore a team-branded sweater that looks like it could have come from a 50s sock-hop. In fact, it was so un-like me to wear something so preppy that I received many comments/compliments at work. With the sweater, I wore black ponte pants and black wedge ankle boots. For accessories, I wore a black and white houndstooth scarf and black and white chandelier earrings to show my school colors. For makeup: charcoal shadow and a bright lipstick.

Crime Scene

Marigold is one of my favorite colors to wear these days, probably because it's fun to match. Here, I wore a long, marigold wrap-around tunic with a matching beret, handbag and ankle boots and black ponte pants. For jewelry I wore multi-color beaded chandelier earrings (marigold strands). For makeup: marigold and black shadows with a plum lipgloss (to match the plum strands). And, of course- crime scene socks.
