A basic cold day outfit

Posted on February 17, 2011December 21, 2014 by Elaine

(NOTE: This post will be COMPLETELY different from my last post 😉 My last post was so bright and cheerful – this outfit is more a true reflection of what I’ve been wearing.)

So I have been keeping up with some of resolutions and taking pictures more frequently.  I never promised to blog more frequently thought 😛

At this rate I will be posting all my Winter wear photos in the Spring!

Here is a really basic outfit but it was so comfortable and cozy for me to wear.

Sweater:  Esprit XS
Jeans: Beloved Gap Jean Leggings 00R (here in black wash)
Boots:  Miz Mooz Gayle
Jewellery:  Avon
So, yup, black and grey! That’s typical me!  But…here’s where the REALLY cozy part comes in:
Infinity Scarf – bought years ago as a regular scarf and made into an infinity scarf by my friend!
^I love how I can completely hide in the scarf 😉 ^
Avon earrings from last year I believe they were $4.99!
One of my favorite current Avon pieces.  I ALWAYS get stopped so people can get a closer look 😉
A total bargain for $9.99!
So while I managed to trick you all into thinking I’m a “colourful” girl with the previous outfit this is the real me LOL – I do hope to break out of my comfort zone more often.  Perhaps with Spring almost here that might happen 🙂

    Hey, it’s OK if we’re not all colors of the rainbow all the time. Wearing black and grey does not automatcially make an outfit boring – I think the fit on you and the pieces are great. Those boots in partcular are killer!

    Blacks and greys all always the best, when it comes down to it for me too. Plus, it probably made that gorgeous colorful necklace pendant stand out. That is such a steal! I can’t stop looking at it, hehe!

    You look lovely and it’s totally ok to not wear color!

    Lately,I’ve been moving more towards dark colors and blacks too. For a long time, I would avoid black, but I’m beginning to embrace it again…just not in a goth type of way. =)

    Ha! I wear black and grey all of the time. And brown. But I like it think that once spring is here, that will all change. I am so jealous of your infinity scarf, I want one really bad but I haven’t found one that I like. I’ll keep searching though. Have a great weekend!

    Those boots are adorable, love the folded look on them. The Avon pieces are such a steal shhh don’t let the people know how much you paid. They certainly look a lot more than what you paid for!

    Not every day has to be a colorful day! There is something so classic about a black and gray color palette in an outfit.

    I am all about black, gray and other monotonous colors too in the winter except you wear it much better than I do. I like the pop of color your scarf lends the outfit. 🙂 And ooo….pretty necklace! (I am drawn to sparkly things 🙂 )

    Now see, you and I are opposites. I wear a lot of color most of the time because I feel like I can’t pull off an all black and gray outfit. You, on the other hand, look so incredibly chic and stylish! I love those boots and that sweater is so flattering on you.

    You look adorable in the last picture. Black and grey combination is what I used to wear too. I am starting to wear more colored pieces lately and I love it. Your necklace is very pretty. I bet it’s sparkly IRL. Have a good weekend!

    Isn’t it funny how much our clothes reflect they way we feel? … Ever since I’ve been aware of that I try to choose wisely the way I show myself to the world, although I find your outfit real pretty, not colorful but very sleek and chic, loved the jewelry, minimal but cute!

    Lol! Look at you in your “muffler” in that last outfit photo. I like the necklace with the four different color stones. You can probably wear it with everything. You and your good Avon finds : )

How is this type of thing still happening, even in the age of AI? If a high-tech “smart tool” can’t properly recognize and accommodate diverse skin tones, then it needs further development and should not yet be released. End of story. 

Use your purchasing power to support brands that are inclusive in their product development, testing, promotion, AND corporate structure. Every action has impact.

Getting to play with the re-release of @lancomeofficial #JuicyTubes has been such a fun throwback! ✨ I remember thinking they were the ultimate ~Cool Girl~ makeup product when they first came out and reading about them as a beauty must-have in every magazine (J14 anyone?! 😂) They were basically the “grown up” version of Lip Smackers! 

Gotta say, applying one of their trademark frosted, shiny shades now is making 12 year old me *very* happy. 

Now excuse me while I reapply Lavender Latte and blast some Britney 👄💿

Do you remember these 00s classics?

We had an amazing experience there and left feeling so full and so happy. The chef even made me a special entree (with no advance notice) when I wasn’t able to eat the other options because of my allergies 🥹. Now that’s service!

Their Soft Smudge Lip & Cheek stick is incredible. A cream-to-powder formula(!!!!), this baby is buildable, blendable, and beautiful. 

Plus, with just a drop of KJH.Brand Hyper Shine Serum, it transforms into a glossy, rich sheen of luxurious color. 

I’ve used it on my eyes, lips, and cheeks in both glossy and matte textures, and love it each time. It’s genuinely like having 5 products in one. 😍

Have you tried anything from @kjh.brand yet?

Gang’s all here! 👯‍♀️ I truly love the Gang’s all here! 👯‍♀️

I truly love these @milkmakeup Cooling Water Jelly Tints and wear at least one daily on some combo of eyes, lips, and cheeks. The color payoff is 🤯, the longevity is 😍. They’ve got vegan collagen and aloe to plump and soothe skin. 

For an easy, juicy burst of color this summer, grab yours at @sephoracanada! 🌊
