Time for another fashion-related post! I apologize again for the terrible photo-quality of these pictures. These are selfies. Again. But hey, if that is all a girl can manage and she can't figure out how to work her sister's camera so it will focus (true story) what can I say? Today's outfit I called Cable-Car. Probably because it combines a modern cable-knit sweater and jeans with some vintage glam. Yes, yes I know. I'm a goose. But a darling goose. You know you love me.
Why it works:
The sweater and jeans together would make a cute but slightly lumpy outfit. I have yet to buy a pair of skinny jeans but someday I would love to own one. All the same, well-fitting dark wash jeans are cute and flattering. Adding a pair of shiny black heels (yay for patent leather. I call them my beetle shoes) and the glitzy jewelry brings a touch of delicacy that the outfit alone would lack. Some people might say this outfit has a touch of affectation but hey: I specialize in bringing glamour to the everyday and if heels and crystal works, I swear by it. It's definitely a statement: when I commit to something that usually makes people think, "evening dress" and wear it with a chunky sweater, I'm essentially telling everyone who cares that you can work the glam 24-7, not just after 5.
I get the privilege, challenge, task, what-have-you of working with a curvaceous figure. Jeans and heels is a way to instantly lengthen the look of my legs and the sweater with the big cable down the front continues the line, making for a nice, smooth silhouette. It's a pretty sweater that begins pinkish orange at the bottom and by the time it reaches my throat, has become raspberry. The sweater already has this color scheme going on so I opted for the white touch of crystal/silver jewelry. I'm wearing chandelier earrings, a choker that just peeps out beneath the turtle neck of my sweater, and a silver wrap-around ring from Icing. You can't see terribly well, but I'm also wearing Essie nail polish in "Ballet Slipper". I picked up the raspberry theme in my lipstain which is something by Loreal that looks like a marker and bleeds if you don't wear something beneath it.
I hope to be able to do some shopping soon (having discovered I have little but campaign t-shirts and jeans), so I ought to have more outfit posts in the future, hopefully with some fresh items! Jenny from Adonis Ephemeral helped me choose an outfit for the Romania fundraising concert by Paid in Full and it was rather fun, knowing I had the Why It Works originator condoning my choices. Well, toodle-loo! Here's to adding glamour to the everyday!
