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

[danielledanielle]

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, Tress Trek - A Transition Journal from Relaxer to Natural 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)

Thank you @danielledanielle! It is getting so brrrr here I imagine most my looks until Spring will feature a sweater, parka or beanie, lol. I like the way you set up the elements of this one.

The Fit: Shacket I saw on RTR, which I posted in Non-Beauty Hauls October 2024 

and picked it up at their sample sale for even less.  The dress is a Gap dress with front slit pockets, but the Shacket has no pockets 🥲

The Fab: the Shacket.  I love the little faux leather trim on it.  And it's nice a warm.  This is my "I'm an old rich lady" outfit.  It just needs oversized sunglasses and a little dog.  😂

The Face: Groundwerk! Danessa Myricks Beauty Groundwork: Defining Neutrals - Palette For Eyes, Brows, Face & Lips  I genuinely love this palette, I think I used it to set my brows, used it on my eyes, to contour.  It's so versatile.  The lips are an Estee Lauder product that I blurred/blotted out with a liquid lip from Context skin that I was so kindly gifted.

Your shacket @danielledanielle!!!! It's caught my eye in your Gallery looks - love! I'd love more if it had pockets but it is a great looking jacket, errrr, shacket! 

[danielledanielle]

Thanks @itsfi 

Pockets: I knooooooow, that's the one thing that keeps it from perfection

[CorgiMommy]

Cute look @danielledanielle

Going out to celebrate my oldest son’s birthday.  All comfy in a L’Agence silk snake blouse, a satin skirt and some brown snake shoes. 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍I used the Danessa Myricks IV palette to go with the snake theme on my eyes.

Happy belated birthday to your oldest @heartsmyface! You make comfy look so chic! Those shoes!! 😍

[greeneyedgirl107]

@heartsmyface love snake skin shoes!!!!  I've owned a couple and adored them. Always looking for snake jewelry...

Can't ever find anything just right.

[danielledanielle]

Happy belated to elder Son of Hearts.

I love tights and shorts as a combo @heartsmyface , you look so French

[heartsmyface]

I need a better way to take full body shots.  Or maybe to clean my mirror.  I had a whole orange outfit picked out last night but my mood this morning wasn’t having it.  I ended up in plum and black tights, a plum corset over a sheer top, a velvet pearly hat from Temu (I sold my soul out of curiosity as to whether it was a legit site and for accessories). I am now spammed like crazy.  I swear they make their real money selling your info to calling lists, but they DO deliver and some things are pretty decent if you’re willing to take a gamble and expect 25% will be unusable.  The hat I have decided is going to need an arts and crafts night.  I need to sew some horsehair into it to stabilize it a bit. I also think the pearls abruptly ending looks weird.  It needs big pearl buttons on each side of the pearl strand to make it look like it’s  not just floating.  I do like the concept though so it’s worth the project to improve the quality of it. 

The dark burgundy MK pumps are so comfy.  I don’t go much higher with heels these days.  ha, and I love that I am sporting swatches on my hand.  Very chic!  

 makeup-wise I wore the ND Sunrise palette I ‘won’ with the big prize spin at Sephoria!  Again the original plan was to wear orange today, but it worked with the plum.  I do love the colours but I found I had fallout attached to my contacts half way through the day.  Not cool.  It was a foggy day for me from then on. I’ll try again and use primer.  NATASHA DENONA Sunrise Eyeshadow Palette 0.67 oz/ 19.25g Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Find Comfort Body & Hair Fragrance Mist 3.3 oz / 100 mL

Ooouh, can't wait to see what you do to upgrade the hat @heartsmyface! Yes to dark burgundy pumps! 😍 I think you could go higher ... 

[danielledanielle]

This is 🔥🔥

[CynthieLu]

Your fashion is so fab! @heartsmyface 👌 The shoes thou! 

Your hat becoming a project, I love that. I think making changes for it to be more you is fun and functional, you'll wear it more if your happier with it. 😄

[heartsmyface]

@CynthieLu  Thank you!  It took me years to fall into my own sense of style.  It’s heavily influenced by Japanese ‘French city clothes’ but also a doll-like formula where colours are visually cohesive from head to toe.  Ha, it sounds so bizarre but it’s a formula that allows me a lot of space to play.

The Fit:  Full floral! I loved the dress (RTR dress) that I hope I'll pick it up at a good discount (it has pockets!) but the Fab for me is my oversized blazer.  I think it's a Gap one.  The thing I love the most about the blazer is that it has an inner pocket...a lot of my blazer pockets are small, so my phone goes a-flyin'.  I love the boxyness of the blazer... It's not too much where I look shapeless, it's just right.

The Fab: the weather here is transitioning and after seeing @heartsmyface rock some fishnets, I was like... Oh yeah...I have THESE.  LET'S GO!  Another point of inspo, The 7 Virtues Cherry Ambition Eau de Parfum Travel Spray 0.34 oz / 10 ml eau de parfum spray .  I should've taken more of those ribbons when they offered, but I was trying to be modest..I love how it looked with the dress and tying it to my braids just cinched the look for me. I was very demure, very cutesy this day.  This was combo week in Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge , which I'll eventually catch up on post wise.  I combined Cherry Ambition with The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods Eau de Parfum Travel Spray 0.34 oz / 10 mL and it was also very demure

The Face: Do you see the highlight? You can see it from space 🌌 🚀 and that's how I like it! It's none other than Danessa Myricks Beauty LIGHTWORK VI The Freedom Palette: Magnetic, Customizable, Stackable Palette w...

Those tights paired with what might otherwise be too bubble gum alone or straight work wear are everything @danielledanielle ! I love the interplay of the florals with the texture of the tights. You styled this so well!

[itsfi]

You and hearts are killin' it with the fishnets @danielledanielle! I'll have to give that 7 Virtues combo a try; I have my eyes set on Candied Lychee, but I know I have a sample of Cherry Ambition and a travel size of Vanilla Woods. 

[CynthieLu]

This outfit is incredibly fun looking, the colors the rad tights. Love this!! @danielledanielle
