AN OLD FAVORITE:THE TIE NECK BLOUSE

Posted by Alissa

Yesterday I pulled out an old favorite, my tie neck blouse I bought last fall. I had an event to go to yesterday evening and I wanted to wear a top that was sheer and light enough to go under my sequin waiter jacket that was gifted to me from Nordstrom's new plus collection Sejour. I also wore my pink lipstick from MAC, "Girl About Town" which I just love. I normally only put a dab on because I'm afraid of the brightness, but, after reading Coco and Creme's article A New Era for the Darker Girl about dark skin women wearing bright makeup, I decided to put on a little more than usual so the color would show. What do you guys think, too much?

I had such a long day yesterday that I was glad I wore light pieces that were comfortable. This snow is driving me crazy. I have to keep my heels in my bag for indoors and stomp around in my big old Timberland snow boots when traveling to and from. Hope you guys are hanging in there. I heard the groundhog saw his shadow and spring is coming early or is it the other way around? I don't really believe in that, but after the weekly snow storms we've been having, I sure am hoping spring comes early and stays for awhile.

What I'm wearing

Sequin Jacket-Sejour

Skirt-Faith21Plus

Blouse-NY&CO

Shoes-Vince Camuto

Earrings-Forever21

Watch-Michael Kors

stylishous said...: Love the look from head to toe! And please do continue to spice up the lips occasionally with bold colors. I love bold lip colors...and it looks good on both complexions; it's just all about wearing the right shade, whether matte or shine.; February 3, 2011 at 9:35 AM
The Notorious ZAG said...: You look exactly like my Aunt Bunny in these pictures. I had to do a double take!! But I digress. That lipstick looks good on you, and I like the fact that it goes with the skirt. I love "matching" my makeup to my outfits, I think it takes skill to do so and not look silly. I love the whole look from head to toe, the shirt, skirt and jacket are fabulous base pieces that can be styled hundreds of ways. Two thumbs up!; February 3, 2011 at 12:05 PM

Anonymous said...: This a great pairing, skirt & blouse! The sequin jacket is a nice touch for that 'Glam' look. For my work office, it's very bc (business casual), e.g: cardigans, button up shirts & slacks- so I guess I could take ur blouse & wear some nice grey slacks or navy slacks. Thanks for the inspiration!! You always give me great ideas for work & play! Love your blog!!
