Golden opportunity

Here I wore a marigold and black floral, mock neck dress that I recently scored for $16 at Macy's Back Stage (just went for the first time and went crazy). With it, I wore black rose earrings and a black rose bracelet, marigold sandals and a marigold headband. For makeup: marigold and black shadows and red lipstick (not that anyone could see it under a mask). 

My signature look of the summer- sundresses and matching headbands

While working from home this summer, I've been wearing lots of maxi and sun dresses. (I add a blazer for Zoom meetings.) But, no matter what I've worn this summer, I undoubtedly wore a headband- my hair has constantly been up in a messy bun and, with new hair growth, the headbands keep the frizzies down.

A friend of mine gave me two of the dresses below (grey stripes and orange/pink) and my Aunt gave me a whole package of different colored headbands. Now I have a headband for every day of the month not to mention every outfit. :)

The navy and white striped dress was purchased a couple weeks ago at a boutique clearance-- about $4-5!!!!! And it matches my Adidas gear perfectly!  

Which headband?

When you match your pet

Today, I wore rainbow stripes and matching beaded earrings. But, as it turns out, I match our baby boy, too!

Matchy at home

Here, we were hanging out, but it doesn't mean I can't still match my clothes! It was chilly for a summer day, so I took advantage by wearing this (very soft) pink and blue tie-dye, front-tie :) long sleeved tee. With it, I was happy to wear matching pink slide-ons, frayed ankle jeans, pink rose earrings and blue pearl studs, two matching benefit bracelets, a blue bandana and a blue patterned handbag. For makeup, just blue eyeliner. 

Flag Day/I heart adidas

Flag Day- what a perfect day to wear Red Sox stuff... and to mourn baseball... and America right now. 

Anyway, here you will see I wore a Sox tee with Sox socks :) ,  a red bandana, and navy Adidas slides with a matching Adidas mini backpack.

Professional PRIDE/MJ's anniversary

Today, I wore more PRIDE colors for work (albeit it was at home, but still had meetings). Maxwell matches quite well, too. Since I'm wearing minimal makeup these days, I only wore blue eyeliner. 

Also, I added this MJ wooden bracelet since the colors match so well AND because his death anniversary is coming up. 

Work on top, party on the bottom

It's been too warm to wear leggings nowadays, so here, I decided to dress up enough on the top since I had a free Zoom meetings, and shorts on the bottom. (I really didn't know what else to wear, but no one was seeing the bottom.) But, as I walked outside to work, I realized that even my tumbler and cell phone matched....I clearly like mint green. 

Got PRIDE?

It's month number three in leggings and sneakers, but guess what? We can still celebrate PRIDE month. 

Who else is living in leggings?

Am I still matching my clothes while I'm stuck at home during this pandemic? Absolutely! My 'day-PJs' usually consist of leggings and a cozy sweater for those top-half Zoom meetings. 

I'm a little sad not to be wearing a bunch of cute spring clothing, which is why the blog has been on hiatus, but there's much worse things going on right now.

Feel free to share your at-home looks! 

Don't kiss me, I'm not Irish...and I don't want COVID-19🍀

Yesterday, I was still sporting green the day after St. Patty's Day. Since we were still business-casual at work, I wore (another pair of) black ponte pants with black ankle boots. With this, I wore a parakeet-green sleeveless top, a matching bow belt and a three-tone green beaded necklace with green rose earrings. Since the belt has a silver spike accent, I wore ankle boots with silver accents, as well. Over the sleeveless top, I wore a grey waterfall cardigan. For makeup, I wore matching parakeet-green shadow with a fuchsia lipstick.

Happy St. Patty's Day! 🍀 Pot of Gold

It's probably the strangest St. Patty's Day I've experienced, so far, but I'm making the best of it and still wearing my green and gold. Since we're still business casual in the office, I'm wearing a green 3/4 tee with a cream and gold sweater over black ponte pants with black ankle boots. Lots of jewelry today- a gold-toned green and aqua metal rose statement necklace with a gold wishbone and clover necklace; a green wooden bangle with gold and cream bangles; gold hoops with green rose studs. For makeup, I wore gold and green shadows and gold lipgloss.

Happy go lucky 🍀

It's St. Patty's week albeit, it's a strange one. We have been able to dress down a bit in the office, so here I wore a sheer, forest green blouse with black ponte pants and black ankle boots. Since my pants and boots both have gold zippers, I wore gold jewelry: a gold wishbone and clover necklace, a gold, black and green beaded necklace, and gold stick earrings. For makeup: dark green shadow and gold lipgloss.

Show your colorful feathers

This outfit was planned around a multi-color beaded necklace adorned with a peacock. The necklace and charm have orchid stones and purple hints throughout, so I wore an orchid cardigan with it, which matched perfectly. With the cardigan, I wore black ankle pants and ankle boots and a black tank. To also match the necklace, I wore a multi-color, beaded cuff and multi-color beaded hoop earrings. The ony downfall is that the necklace is gold-toned whereas the earrings and bracelet are silver-toned. This is one of my big faux pas! For makeup, I wore a deep plum shadow and lipgloss.

'Tu-Pac Socks and Docs' Rhymes

This day, we were running some errands and fixing things. I wanted to be comfortable and in flats., so I wore charcoal leggings and a long periwinkle cardigan with Tu-Pac socks and Doc Martens. The toes of the socks match the periwinkle, but because you can't see that, I added brown to the outfit  with a brown scarf an- also a black scarf- to pull together the black shoes and tank. Because I still needed to accessorize, I wore silver hoops. For makeup, I was excited to use a perfectly matching shimmery eye-shadow.

Buh-bye Winter....I hope

Before winter is gone (being hopeful), I wanted to re-wear some sweaters that didn't get worn more than once this season. Here, I wore this charcoal ruffly cowl neck sweater with black skinny pants and charcoal ankle boots. Normally, I wear this sweater with a skirt, but wanted to be more casual and comfy for Friday. For jewelry, I wore a multi-chain and (faux) pearl necklace with matching dangly earrings as well as a gunmetal-colored wavy ring...you know, to go with the wavy ruffles....For makeup: charcoal shadow and a bright lipstick.

Teal me nothing

With Holiday and then Vday colors, I haven't been able to wear these teal and black plaid ponte pants too much this season. I wore them the other day with a faux-satin ruffle-sleev black blouse. I do have a teal sweater that matches really well that I wore with these pants before, but it's been unseasonably warm out. With the blouse and ponte pants, I wore black ankle boots and, for accessories, a gold, silver and teal multi-chain necklace with a copper-colored ring and copper-colored spike earrings, which both match the closure on button my top. For makeup, I wore teal shadow and a bright lipstick.
