Hey guys! It's been a while since I've done an outfit post, which is too bad because they are a lot of fun. Plus, I really love this look-- the sleeveless sweater has a very classic feel, but there are some sporty-cool influences in there too.
I cuffed my skinnies to show off these great black heels. They have a similar athletic-inspired edge as the sweater, which totally pulls the look together. And as always, I kept my accessories to a minimum-- just two silver rings. Coco Chanel's notorious quote about always taking off one thing before you leave the house... well, I think she had a point. The focus should be on you more than it is on your outfit!
So, I have a question: Do you think nail polish should be considered an accessory or a cosmetic? I think it's a bit of both. For this look, my toes are black and my nails are red, and I think it really adds to the overall look.
I'm not as into hair/makeup as much as fashion, but they definitely go hand in hand. For this look, I straightened my hair (although as you can tell, I didn't get all the wave out) and emphasized my eyes by lining them in the same shade of blue.
Here's a quick how-to: BB cream all over face and neck. Light pink blush from the apples of cheeks to the temples. Nude eyeshadow all over the eye. Bronze/brown shadow all over lid. Navy eyeliner on top lid and waterline. Mascara on top and bottom lashes. Soft red eyeliner, lip balm, subtle lipstick.
Sorry for the quality in these pictures... we took them with an iPhone and the lighting wasn't great. But other than that, I really like these shots! What do you think?
xoxo,
Ireland

You look classy and summery! :) I like your makeup look too. It's very pretty and simple.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paige! I love the classy look.
DeleteI think nail polish counts as a cosmetic. On another topic completely- wow, you know Thousand Foot Krutch! Do you know the songs Look Away and Already Home, too? If you like Be Somebody I bet you'd like those (They're on the album Welcome to The Masquerade- my favorite TFK album).
ReplyDeleteI just looked up Look Away and Already Home. Are those your favorites? I love the instrumentation in those two songs and the opening lyrics in Look Away. I don't know a lot about TFK, but I've been listening to them more since I heard Be Somebody a week ago. A cool band, for sure!
DeleteYeah, I like TFK. I suggested those songs because they're not as rocky as the others, but that's not to say the others aren't just as good. I also like some rockier songs like Courtesy Call, Fly on The Wall, and Welcome To The Masquerade.
