I own two black-and-white jackets and I've worn them both over the last two days.
Yesterday's outfit first, houndstooth jacket, black work pants and black collared work shirt.
I hadn't realised, by my entire outfit (with the exception of my Joanne Mercer work shoes) came from Target. This jacket I originally bought for my Europe trip in 2007...it's old haha
My nails were rocking OPI Big Apple Red. I wore this colour non-stop for the last two weeks (cheating and recoating even!). Matches with the red piping on the inside of the jacket that no one but me sees...
I was also trying out the only red lipstick I own. It's an old Covergirl one called Very Cherry. I'm planning to treat myself to a MAC one soon, figure then I can get the artist advice on the best red for my skin tone (I love MAC Red but don't know if it will be the right fit for me).
Today I am wearing a different black-and-white jacket, this one has newspaper print all over it. No label/designer as I bought it from a market stall.
The rest of my work outfit is similar, black v-neck shirt, black work pants and my Joanne Mercer work shoes (still haven't treated my new PeepToe pairs..)
This jacket has a waterproof advantage over the houndstooth one. But it's not as warm or as 'classic'.
Makeup-wise I am wearing a slightly darker eye (if you can tell haha) and a nude lip today.
I also finally removed the red polish and have painted a french to let my nails see some light. I also filed them back big time!
Wearing OPI Alpine Snow and a Cutex diamond strength top coat which has little gold flecks you can only see in the bottle...
I love your hair colour! And that target jacket is awesome! xx

ReplyDeleteI have a jacket almost exactly the same as your first one. I got it in Japan and every time I wear it, people can't help but comment, "ohhh you look very David Jones today" *roll eyes*.
