makeup- Urban Decay Naked on the Run

worn Nov. 8, 2015

 

My sweater dress seems to make at least one appearance every fall or winter season. I always seem to find a new way to wear it. I've worn it with a blanket scarf (seen here), tall boots, my fur vest (seen here) and with a statement necklace. Now I'm pairing it with my denim jacket, booties and felt hat. I used to think a piece like this was too plain and limiting but now I'd recommend such a piece. It's easy dressing (just one piece to pull over your head) and then you can layer as much or little as you would like.

 

I also recently scooped up the Urban Decay Naked on the Run set on sale at Ulta. I got to use a coupon so I got this set for $24. A great deal to try out shadows, liner, bronzer, mascara, blush, and gloss. I've never used their products- sorry, I'm a cheapie drug store make up user, but I do like these and see the value in this set. You can still get a great deal on it and it would make a great gift for someone. My whole look above was done with the palette.

If you are looking for a basic piece that adds some punch, look no further than a black and white striped tee. There are thousands of ways to wear it, well okay, maybe just a few hundred, but it's a must have item in my opinion. All of  the pieces in this outfit are what I call basics but together with some quirky fun shoes and accessories (how cute and fun are these earrings ?), they make a not so basic outfit.

Here's a look back at the last time I wore these shoes:

I wore this blazer and top with pants here, but I changed up a bit and went with booties and a skirt. I really like this version. I think this look with be a good one too if I swapped the blazer for a moto jacket. I have stayed away from the moto jackets because I told myself that I couldn't wear them to work but there are some options now that would totally work for the office with an outfit like this one.  I'm thinking that this one, this one or this moto jacket would work. What do you think?

I've been eyeing the nude palettes from Maybelline for a while and finally gave in and purchased the blushed nudes and nudes just before Halloween. Searching for Halloween makeup tutorials got me hooked on general makeup tutorials and some new products so I've been having fun playing with make up lately. I'd recommend this palette if you are looking for some pinks and don't want to spend a ton on colors you may not like.

I really want to wear fall clothes but sometimes they just don't fit into a business attire wardrobe. The weather hasn't been cooperating the last couple of weeks either. So I dress for work and the temperature. Sometimes I push the envelope with the conservative environment I'm in by wearing things like this blingy bauble statement necklace. It's fun but the rest of the outfit is fairly conservative. To keep things from getting boring I'm going with color. Not exactly a fall outfit, but I was dressed for work. Once again, I took inspiration from Bridgette Raes for putting these colors together. (see outfit 3 in her post.)
