Some Fridays, I don’t feel like jeans. Some Fridays, I don’t have the first clue what I feel like wearing … so I end up winging it … and copycatting myself in the process. I mean, for reals. Slightly different necklace:

… but not by much. May 2014 was a long time ago, so I figured that you guys might not remember … oops. Let’s look at the positive, shall we: here’s an outfit that still works, 1.5 years later.

I hate my make-up here, by the way. I never line my bottom eyelids, but I decided to play around with a slightly smokier eye, and used some dark brown eyeshadow (in place of my usual black pencil) instead … and got a little too adventurous with it. Too bad I hated the end result; I feel like the extra bit of liner just made me look older somehow.

I didn’t realize the background colour on these pants was navy, not black, until the 3rd or 4th time I wore them. D’oh. Now that I know, I finally paired them with the appropriate colours – burgundy and more navy (natch). Nothing fancy here, but I liked how this all came together – and my IG peeps seemed to like it too – so here we are. I’m wearing head to ankle J. Crew, with my new thrifted Stuart Weitzman pumps completing the picture. These puppies run narrow – yikes. I’m hoping they will stretch out with time.

Oh, look: here is my giant hand. Please admire mah bling:

… I am clearly not. I simply couldn’t wait another 8 months to wear this pretty Nathalie Lete frock I thrifted a few weeks ago, so … I didn’t. Layers, layers, layers (plus a ginormous scarf) and I was all set. Kudos also to Mother Nature for keeping things unseasonably warm this year.

Hey, look, I tried another Gibson tuck! This one looked better … but fell apart after about half an hour. Sigh. Progress, I guess.
