The Fit, The Fab and The Face: Outfit and Inspo Thread

danielledanielle — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 04:15:48 GMT

I realized we don't have an OOTD, outfit of the day thread, which isn't needed but can still be a lot of fun. It's dress up for me, but make it adult.

This was part spurred by my natural hair journey, and NYFW and Zendaya. 99% Zendaya.

The Fit- this can be your attire, or what has arisen from the Capsule Challenge, your makeup bag. Hair and fragrance "fits" count, too

The Fab - What you loved enough to be inspired by or loved the most about your look

The Face - the proooodduccctsss, so I can add to my loves list, y'all. Or a pic of your face

Note: posting your actual self is optional. Feel free to post pics or lists of what you included. This really is about seeing what others are doing and getting inspired to try or retry things.

Also feel free to cross post to existing threads (and browse)

The Fit:

WEEK 38 of Capsule Challenge, Latinx Brands

I have a lip from Poundcake beauty and a palette from Ace Beauté that wanted to come out this week, in addition to my Rare Beauty Beauties

Clothes are Rent the Runway, which I highly encourage , it's fun to switch it up

The Fab:

The hourglass shape the skirt gives, fake it to ya make it...plus the colors give me 70s chic with a little fall

The Face:

It's definitely about Poundcake Bloodberry, here, but I've also been playing with more negative space/matte eye looks with the inner corners highlight/shimmer.

Lookin’ snatched from head to toe, @danielledanielle ❣️

Bloodberry looks stunning on you and your eye makeup! I’m always impressed that you’re always trying something new. I was looking at the lip oils from Poundcake Beauty (but I stayed strong and stuck to my low(er)-ish buy mind-frame. Their reds, are absolutely gorgeous!!!, but they make my inner red lip scaredy cat 🙀 retreat 🫣 😝

@danielledanielle great idea for a thread!

Thank you! @itsfi

Lip oils! I knoooooow, I almost caved, too. I was wondering if they were ever going to make another product, and low and behold, the lip oil!!! I almost picked them up from Ulta via BOPIS, but they weren't actually available at that store, so I'll hold off vs making a trip crosstown.

You can soft matte, blur these out btw, they have that mousse consistency like the Rare Beauty ones, so they don't really set, but you can get a nice stain with them... It's still red, but less so if you don't want a bold, bold red.

These are from last week(?) before(?)

The Fit: Banana Republic, which is where most of my stuff comes from for work. Sales, y'all. It's a really flowy, ivory drapey jumpsuit with a reversible shawl

The Fab: This is inspired by Zendaya's red carpet looks for Dune 2, minus the robot suit

The Face: inspired by an ad, this used and then I went pretty neutral elsewhere. Definitely had and in the mix

This was a lot of fun. Hair was a work in progress, but I dove into the vest as shirt trend that I think was also Zendaya inspired

The Fit: on old old Navy vest with BR relaxed trousers
The Fab: I didn't love the vest as a shirt trend at first, but I was going through my clothes too give things away and found this. I liked the colors and I like argyle, so I figured, let's give this a shot. Easy work outfit because nothing needed to be iron vs a button up. I liked how it looks! Sometimes a trend can work. I also love my loafers.

The Face: I think this is Mothership I, but I opted for all neutral eye

The Fit: This was my second attempt at Bantu Knots, done loosely. Also used hair clips from kitsch. It's not immaculate or neat, but my hair is cleaned and styled, so I didn't give a 🤬. I was vibing off a forum post about natural hair and NOT having to do 1000 steps to manipulate it.. Just care for your hair and let it be, which I did. And yup, the same blue blazer is here, but I'm wearing a floral dress and sneakers.

The Fab: remember Riri circa Rated R? There's some of that, plus the fun of OutKast 's Andre 3000 and the mismatched eye liner look from a few years ago, only I decided to use shadow. I love how it came out actually.

The Face: & serve as bases here with Danessa Myricks Lightwork III here.

@danielledanielle this is such a cute outfit, and I love your red lip and how you echoed it with your eyeshadow!

@danielledanielle awesome idea for a thread, I have been thinking that I wished we had an OOTD thread here on BIC!

It's funny, I saw your first outfit pic and thought "that reminds me of the costumes from Dune" and then I read that you were inspired by Zendaya's red carpet looks for Dune 2 😂 so I think you were spot on! Looks super stylish on you, and I love the combination of your stunning blue eyeshadow with the neutral look.

The vest look is super cute as well! And I love the Bantu knots! I think that is such a cool hairstyle and it looks great on you!

So much awesomeness and inspiration here! 💜

Great thread! I would love to see and learn more of your style tips. I’m rarely very put together and Colorado is so casual most of the time, but always looking for inspiration! @danielledanielle

Re: The Fit, The Fab and The Face: Outfit and Inspo Thread

sister13 — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 12:46:05 GMT

You look amazing in both outfits! So cool! @danielledanielle

Gorgeous, love that fall vibe and the mustard too! @danielledanielle

@sister13, I'm no fashionista, but I have to disagree - I love your casual and dressed up looks - clothes, hair and makeup. 😍

OOTD let's goooo

The Fit: chartreuse blazer over a teal wide leg jumpsuit! I never wear blazers (pretty sure this is the only one I own and I had kind of forgotten I had it) so I felt very mature and put together at work today🤣

My shoes:

Fun fact, I have discovered that I have to wear heels with this jumpsuit bc it is so long on me, if I wear flats I trip over the hems every time I go up the stairs 😅

The Fab: I love this cat in the moon pin I wore today! I have so many cool pins but I never remember to wear them lol

The Face:

A colorful look to match my outfit!Featuring some newness, including and 💜

Will cross-post the full details of this look to and

I am not absolutely certain when I wore this outfit - I want to say it was the day before the other ambassadors arrived, when I spent the day frolicking about Ponce City Market and Krog Street Market in Atlanta.

Jacket is from Velvet Heart - I picked this up at a super cute boutique in Portland, OR a few years back
Peplum sleeveless top is from Old Navy
Loose black trousers from Vince
I initially went casual with a pair of off-white sneakers from Cariuma but it started raining just as I was about to walk out the door so I went with a pair of Sam Edelman black block heel booties

The puffy hooded jacket came out since it started raining
Accessories were minimal, with the star being the winky girl bag (gratis) worn as a crossbody, a generic pink hair claw clip from my high school days (yeah, I hold onto things, lol), and the striped pouch clipped to the bag holds a foldable shopping bag and my

My makeup was basic, for the most part

mixed with
for a little more warmth
Thrive Causmetics Eyeshadow Stick - Golden Bronze

omg, I love those pants @caitbird! And those shoes! You look amazing from head to toe! Gorgeous!

Re: The Fit, The Fab and The Face: Outfit and Inspo Thread

danielledanielle — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 23:03:05 GMT

Thanks @caitbird for the kind words! I will admit that your comment in about Bantu Knots made me try them myself vs getting it from a stylist. It wasn't as easy as expected, but easy enough for me to do it a couple of times.

Yay! Glad you like the idea, please also post up some of your looks. I always appreciate your colorways\use of color. I also saw a really cool collared shirt you posted in the Gallery (it was black and red) and I was like,,, "oooh where did she get that 👀"

Exactly @itsfi . Your tinsel in hair is already 💯 @sister13 and I loved your looks at Sephoria, esp the sundress

Also r\t your comment - I am just happy to talk about clothing and style choices whenever, I always like looking at how people put things together, even if they don't realize how put together they are. Like, my BF hunt for comfy pants and trends from high school, but we have very different tastes. We can definitely shop together, and I can kind of guess what she gravitates to and she the same. She has specific nails and brow needs, so sometimes I all about those, but I enjoy her style as is.

I don't have hard set rules, but I kind of fall into specific trends or habits and go from there. Like if I like a look, I'll try to recreate it, but also if I enjoy a trend, I try to do it in a way that suits me (like the vest as shirt one). Apparently suiting is also a trend, but I just like wearing brightly colored suits.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Especially the colorways and it's a jumpsuit! @caitbird

The cat pin just cinches everything together, too.
