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)

This one did not evolve in a particularly linear fashion. Mostly, I wanted to try on and build a face around my new Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer Fenty Glow as I wasn't sure how the color would look applied. And it grew from there inspiring me to try this scarf with a more formal look (honestly I needed to check to see which of my dressier pants still fit right now, lol) and then leading me to a fragrance I haven't worn for a while.

Here are the star items in this look - the new Fenty Lip Luminizer (it's described as "shimmering rose nude" - I had not read the shade description before trying and really like how warm/nude/multidimensional it is), CB I HATE PERFUME Number 703 Fire From Heaven and a Pendelton Scarf I got some years back on sale (I live in the PNW - Pendelton is a THING for sure - the whole town is draped in it):

First I applied Tower 28 Beauty SunnyDays SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen Foundation 13 La Cienega, Fenty Beauty by Rihanna We're Even Hydrating Longwear Waterproof Concealer Light 110W, and the lip gloss to get a feel for the color palette. I added the mauve blush shade from Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette Dragon and wanted to keep my eyes simple by just doing eyeliner and mascara. 

Here is the outfit with the makeup - the scarf is the star here but I also wanted to balance it with a wide leg echoing the drape and volume it has:

And that led me to search for a fragrance that felt as much like a Fall hug as the scarf. If you're not familiar with CB I HATE PERFUME they're amazing. And I always get an extra nostalgic vibe wearing their scents b/c I discovered them in this fantastic thrift store/boutique called Palace that went out of business with Covid filled with the best thrift clothes, incense, and fragrances that felt like a really chic friend's apartment. Here is how CB I HATE PERFUME describes Fire From Heaven:

All in all a fun way to have a Holiday look ready to pull and currently floating on a cloud smelling the perfume 🙂

I absolutely adore this look, fit, and description, the scent description is so cool to read. You look so cozy and I love the patterns on your scarf! So cute! Great look ❤️❤️ @PDXXXX 

[PDXXXX]

Thank you @peculiarzmakeup 🙂 It was really fun to rediscover that fragrance. I think the Fenty shade I used was made for you, by the way.

[peculiarzmakeup]

I love it I might have to get it that is so kind you are so sweet, truly! Thank you and love this, great look ❤️ @PDXXXX 

[danielledanielle]

Oh this is lovely @PDXXXX .  I get formal, but this could also be dinner party/evening of with a friend.  I love how the gloss informed the clothing, but then the look evolved into its on thing.  That scarf is very pretty.  I love giant scarves..

[PDXXXX]

Thank you, @danielledanielle. The Fenty is a beautiful shade, and it was fun to work from one product's inspiration. I love big scarves as well, and I love how they can be dressed up or down. It was a fun way to build a look I can go to if I ever need to be dressier in a hurry.

[peculiarzmakeup]

I don’t really have a full size mirror so this is the closest I can get 

I always wear leggings or sweatpants 

I love these boots but they are small on me 

but thought it was a fun vibe while the weather gets cooler.

I tend to wear a lot of comfy clothes in all about comfort In makeup and in fashion. 

love seeing your looks, you all always inspire me 😊❤️

@peculiarzmakeup I love that lip color on you! That collage is inspiring - you did that? Wow!

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thank you so much that is so sweet! And yes I used to collage in a scrapbook with my poems then when I saw the empty walls in my living space I’m like why don’t I put this on the wall my landlord isn’t too thrilled but I am 🤣😎❤️❤️ I appreciate it! @PDXXXX 

[heartsmyface]

@peculiarzmakeup  Cute boots!  If they’re a bit too small definitley wear nylons on days you wanna wear them.  Your feet will slide in easier. 
your wall paper is awesome!  

[peculiarzmakeup]

Aww thanks for a tip! Thank you it’s a collage I made 🙂 

It took forever but it was worth it I love Rubix cubes I appreciate that so much ❤️ @heartsmyface 

[heartsmyface]

[peculiarzmakeup]

It’s my living room 🙂 I collaged most of the walls in my living space it was a very fun project but I’ll have to admit for someone not used to it could give them a bit of a headache when they first walk in but they get used to it thank you so much 🤩❤️ @heartsmyface
