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)

You are stunning!!! Your hair looks amazing girl, LOVE the puffer jacket @danielledanielle

@danielledanielle I'm in love with the Banana Republic look, so chic - those pants are gorgeous. Loving your hair cut as well. Demure and Cutesy and Grunge Girl for sure - you could style a paper bag, I swear - you're looks are so well thought out and versatile. 

[danielledanielle]

Thank you, that's very kind @PDXXXX

I feel like I can say the same about you, some of your makeup looks are so well thought about, I appreciate your approaches.  Looking forward to seeing your looks, too!

@danielledanielle  love these outfits/looks! That 7 Virtues tie is lovely, and the puffer coat is so fun and unique! And that jumpsuit is fabulous!

[danielledanielle]

Thank you!  @caitbird !

[itsfi]

I'm lovin' your outerwear in these outfits of the day @danielledanielle! That leather coat is beautiful - the length, the cut and style 😍. How fun and pretty is that puffy coat! It looks great with the 7 Virtues scarf and your pink jumpsuit!!! The first thought that came to mind when I read your hubs' comment was this - I think we've identified what 7 Virtues next fragrance should be. 💡 Dear 7 Virtues ... 

[caitbird]

@itsfi  yes to allll this, also I would LOVE a 7 Virtues pink lemonade fragrance! 😍

[danielledanielle]

Thank you @itsfi , yeah there's a small window 🪟 for outerwear that's fun for me, before it's ridiculously cold and I'm engulfed in a giant puffer+ layers

[Mellmars1185]

@danielledanielle All of your outfits are amazing! I love how you used the 7 Virtues Ribbon. I need to take it off my luggage and repurpose like you! It is too pretty! Wow, how did I not know Banana Republic had a rental service. What a beautiful outfit! Your blow out looks beautiful!

[danielledanielle]

Oooh, you would definitely rock the hair tie @Mellmars1185 , dooooo eetttt

And thank you 🫶🏽

The Fit: this was inspired by my breaking out my favorite, classic oversized chunky knit ivory sweater for Fall and doing makeup on skin that is rather red right now. I wanted to play with neutrals here and adapt to my hair now being pretty much the same color as the sweater. If this was a fragrance, it would probably be "Cozy Sweater" by Haus of Gloi, a vegan bath, lotion and fragrance line a friend started they describe as, "pale skin musk, faded perfume, Egyptian amber, softly burning nag champa incense and a fine aged vanilla."

The Fab: It's making me want to do a nuder lip more often, made me realize I don't always need blush and helped me learn a bit more about the eye shadow palette I chose. It also got me to revisit Cozy Sweater perfume and body butter.

The Face: 

Because my skin was really flushed (part of a syndrome I have called P.O.T.S) and has been rather dry I stuck to Dr. Jart+ Cicapair ™ Tiger Grass Camo Drops Color Corrector SPF 35 1 oz / 30 mL for base, used Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Bright Fix Eye Brightener Concealer in golden ivory and then avoided blush lightly contouring with Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte Cream Contour & Highlight Sticks Almond and Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Eye, Cheek & Lip Cream Pigment - Nudes Collection in #1 as an eye base before setting with Tarte Smooth Operator Loose Powder and doing a quick highlight with Bobbie Brown Highlighting Powder in Nude.

I wanted a peachy, neutral eye so used PATRICK TA Major Dimension Eyeshadow Palette but definitely went a little too heavy on the lightest shade (live and learn) then applied DIOR Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Waterproof Mascara Black.

For lips I used Grande Cosmetics GrandeLIPS Hydrating Lip Plumper Gloss in nude. It goes on a bit opaque so I lined and blended with LAWLESS Forget The Filler Definer Lip Liner Nude Honey 

[caitbird]

@PDXXXX  this is such a beautiful soft and cozy neutral look! I love the sweater and how well it matches your lovely hair! Your makeup came out really nice too!

[PDXXXX]

@caitbird thank you! I always know it's Fall here when I pull out that sweater and it feels so cozy!

[itsfi]

ohhh, your sweater looks so comfy and cozy @PDXXXX; you look great with this nude lip combo! How do you like the Grande plumping gloss? Is there a tingling / stinging feeling to it?

[PDXXXX]

Thank you @itsfi . I have the Grande gloss in this color and clear. I'm not a huge fan of the colored version as it's a bit opaque but not so much that it cancels your underlying lip color (which isn't always a bad thing) but do like the clear. I don't get any of the tingly feeling with it but it's a nice consistency and feels like it delivers providing a plumped appearance short term though my vote's out on if it has any long term effect.

[danielledanielle]

Yes to cozy season! @PDXXXX I love your description, and that's what I enjoy about a look!  I feel the coziness! And the mauve nude lip is lippin', really nice

[PDXXXX]

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.
