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)

What are you wearing today Pt2 

How Are You Styling Your Hair Today? 

What are you wearing, Fragrance edition! 

[heartsmyface]

@PDXXXX  I love that your look has an official title.  Also I hope everything is well with you and you’re in good health. 

[PDXXXX]

Thank you so much @heartsmyface . That's very thoughtful of you.

[danielledanielle]

The title alone!

@PDXXXX, I think if I were in the waiting room with you, if be like, this lady is stylish.  I count three classics here.  Classic beauty!

[PDXXXX]

@danielledanielle thank you. This could also could be titled, "how my stepgrandmother dresses" lol. I think we both showed up to an Easter Egg hunt wearing breton shirts this year. When I say I am all about 60's-90's fashion sometimes I think the age group applies as much as the decades 😂

The Fit

Okay, I realized I actually have 3 black dresses now. This one is a tweed fabric. It’s hard to tell in this photo tho. And I FINALLY got to break out my OTK boots. As much as I love summer, winter is an excuse to take these out. If anyone has any tricks to keeping them up this I’m all ears. 

The Fab

The inspiration behind this outfit is me browsing through Shein. It’s evil in so many ways. I did jazz it up a little with a petticoat to give it just a little more poof.

The Face

The one product I will highlight here is Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Fenty Icon The Fill Semi-Matte Refillable Lipstick The MVP. I had a sample of it lying around and put it to use. It passes the glass transfer test quite well! I’m tempted to buy one for myself. 

Will cross post a close up of my makeup on What are you wearing today Pt2

Elegant, poised, glam, everything I love this fit, oh and the shoes the pairing is so on point. You look lovely! @JoSometimes 

[itsfi]

@JoSometimes, black dresses are like lip products - the more the merrier! 😉

[heartsmyface]

@JoSometimes  Ha, black dresses tend to multiply like that.  

oh for boots!  You can put rubber taping slightly above the widest part of your calf if you find they’re slipping too much.  You can find it at bike shops.  It’s generally sold to keep wider pant legs tight against your leg so they don’t get caught in the bike chain. The tape will slightly grab the boot and hold it in place.    Or wear thick socks and fold the top over to thicken things up even more where the boot wants to slouch.  
The boots you’re wearing though look like they’re designed to slouch so I’d just let them do their slouchy thing.  

[PDXXXX]

I'm so glad you posted the makeup look in the other thread as well @JoSometimes because I could really see how luxe the tweed looks, see your beautiful nails, and accessories. I love the whole view too. I die for anything tweed or fit and flare. Ugh, now you are tempting me to look at black tweed jackets and coats and making me want a long-sleeved or 3/4 sleeve, tweed swing dress too! Noooo...!

[CorgiMommy]

That outfit is awesome!  Perfect holiday look !!! @JoSometimes 

[JoSometimes]

Awww thank you @CorgiMommy! Happy holidays! ✌️

[danielledanielle]

😮 THOSE BOOTS 🫨 @JoSometimes 

You look very "rawrr" interpret that anyway you wish.  Tagging @heartsmyface about the staying up hack for OTK, if she has/think of one.  I don't have one, as so I quietly long after these without having them. 

I love the MVP shade, noticed you tagged both Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Fenty Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick THE MVP and Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Fenty Icon The Fill Semi-Matte Refillable Lipstick The MVP ... I think you sampled the bullet, but letting you know to stick with the bullet.  The liquid is gorgeous, but extremely smeary.

[heartsmyface]

@danielledanielle  Ha I just answered the boot inquiry above only to see I’ve  been tagged for an answer!  Ha, how’d you peg me as someone who might have a boot tip?😅 

[danielledanielle]

I just knew, 😂 @heartsmyface , I felt it in my bones.. You'd have a tip.

[JoSometimes]

@danielledanielle Out of all the compliments I received on this look, yours is one of my favourites! Thank you! That totally made my day! 🥰🥰🥰

I used some dress tape to keep them up. It worked but if I can avoid the sticky tape residue after, that’d be nice.

And thank you for tagging the bullet. That’s the one I have. I might have missed it when I was trying to tag it the first time.

The Fit: A pinafore style dress from shein, which I slightly modified (removed an existing bow near the collar and replaced the floppy silver buttons for some flat black ones). A gold clutch from Aldo (“borrowed” from my wife). Some fleece lined tights from Shein as well. And nude stilettos from Rockport.  

The Fab: I love pinafore dresses in the cooler months. They’re cute and it’s two layers for more warmth. I also love this style of bow tie. I think it’s adorable!

The Face: I pulled a few different shades from Revolution Reloaded Velvet Rose and NATASHA DENONA Glam Eyeshadow Palette for my eyes. Lips are my tried and true Maybelline Hot Chase lipstick. And finally on my face is Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Liquid Blush Worth 

Will cross-post a close up on What are you wearing today Pt2 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Adore! This outfit is so lovely such a beautiful red, I absolutley love the bow and buttons, and the fall weather is like the background of a painting, absolutely stunning! You are the shining star 🌟 You have amazing taste 💄 such a fab look @JoSometimes 

[itsfi]

Red is such a great color on you @JoSometimes!

[JoSometimes]

Aww thanks @itsfi! I have been feeling red lately. Not just because of the holidays but because it’s such a bold colour and I tend to be drawn to that. 😊

[PrettyPaint]

@JoSometimes I've never tried a pinafore dress before, but that's so cute on you!

[JoSometimes]

@PrettyPaint I love them! I think they’re so cute. ☺️
