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)

For all of these... It's the same fab.  Maybe the only Fab that matters 😂. 
The Devil Wears Prada and Recent Vogue cover

 

The Fit: It's a Perry Ellis coat I picked up thrifting with Toccin mini dress plus BR blanket scarf and boots.  I'm channeling mostly Miranda, but the boots are Anna

The Face....I forget which battle palette this was, and the lip, forgotten too 🥲

The Fit: Save The Duck Trench, Ted Baker Organza Dress and Rag & Bone, Hat is.... BR, I think

The Face: Prada Dimensions Multi-Effect Refillable Eyeshadow Palette 05 PURE but also Sarah Creal Eyes Up 24H Creamy Kajal Longwear Eyeliner Maritime .  THE SARAH CREAL KOOLAID HAS BEEN DRUNK. I'm gonna need more shades of this

The Fit: Old Navy x Devil Wears Prada 😂, Lobo pant and RL blouse...this is my take on that cerulean outfit.

The Face: ??? I dunno, I gotta start taking notes or something 

The Fit: Boss Denim Effect suit + BR floral shirt... YOU ALREADY KNOW plus Old Navy x Devil Wears Prada Miranda Bag.  The trenchcoat is Gap Studio .

The Face: this i remember.  Partly.  This was my favorite look with Uoma Beauty's Freedom Palette from BALETTE ROYALE: Beau- TEA Brackets  Uoma won my Bracket , should probably update that 🥲�

The Fit: STD coat, Natori Top, BR Skirt, H&M shirt dress, Old Navy x Devil Wears Prada bag 

The Face: VBB liner + Prada Dimensions Multi-Effect Refillable Eyeshadow Palette 03 PULSE , lip is MAC Cosmetics Lipglazer Glossy Lip Liner Ribbon + HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Le Monster Lip Crayon Vegan Lipstick and Lip Liner Scarlet Matte + Gucci Velvet Matte Lipstick 509 Rosso Ancora

@danielledanielle You always look impeccable. 

[danielledanielle]

That's really nice of you.  I'm very harsh critic of myself, so I appreciate that @Samtian 

[curlychiquita]

I love your trench coats, @danielledanielle! Also, your hair looks amazing!

[danielledanielle]

@curlychiquita , thank you 

I didn't realize it was that many, I do love a good trench 🥰😅

Sephoria Fits

 

After Hours Fit 

[curlychiquita]

You look fantastic in all of the pictures, but I especially love the 4th one of you, @danielledanielle!

[danielledanielle]

@curlychiquita , TY! Aqua x Salvatore Rizza!  I'm not saying I got the tee for Sephoria, but I'm not saying it didn't influence the purchase 

[itsfi]

Will be back to chat more about the Sephoria weekend fits, but lemme just add an FYI about that short and boot OOTD to others stopping on by the therad, that was in 80-90 degree weather outside and through 3+hours of walking to and from one end of the floor to another, and up and down flights of stairs. Props to you @danielledanielle! Every compliment you received on that fit, at Sephoria and elsewhere, was well earned❣️

[danielledanielle]

🙏🏽 TY @itsfi ...I did love that fit...but wearing boots 3+ hours on hard flooring? IDK if I can do that again 🤣🙃

[danielledanielle]

Little Lewk Drop ☔ 

The Fit: BR Blazer and Pant with RTR rental for the shirt

The Fab: What can I say? I love to lightly skim work appropriate wear with coquettish elements, this bra laid button up is interesting.  If I had a plaid tie or cumberbun, I feel like this would take it from very cute to cuuuuuuuuutttteeeee 😅

The Face: Smoky Eye and bold lips seen on AW26 YSL show from nine other than...Dame McGrath.  I used my capsule to do this version, with Danessa Myricks Beauty Groundwork: Blooming Romance - Palette For Eyes, Brows, Face & Lips , Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix - Multi-Use Eye, Cheek & Lip Waterproof Liquid Pigment Evergreen  Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Stix - Multi-Use Pearl Pigment Stick for Eye, Cheek & Lip Duo #6 Cel... (actually 9, cosmic veil) and Every I Wish You Wood pencil in Cuz I'm Black, lip combo will be posted in Lips on Lock 🔐: List Your Lip Combos 💄👄 but it's a very straightforward pairing 

PAT McGRATH LABS Legendary Longwear Lip Pencil Elson 

MAED Signature Lip Pigment Matte Liquid Lipstick Ritual Red 

The Fit: A really old button up from Target, BR silk pants and vest by RE/DONE, Boots Rag & Bone

The Fab: the vest, it's giving that 70s show

The Face: it's been a minute, but this is likely a Groundwerk + SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful 8HR Longwear Transferproof Lip Liner 15 Molasses Collab 

[missjeanie]

@danielledanielle The first look is giving modern day Ally McBeal and the second makes me think you should work in a fabulous library and get to walk up and down the main aisles all day in a full on catwalk strut!  Yes!!!

[danielledanielle]

Taking 📝...future career ideas  🧐🤔🤣, TY @missjeanie

I have been missing this thread like crazy and finally got out of my sweats long enough to put on grown up clothes yesterday and felt like checking back in here.

I love androgynous looks and this one had me thinking of the old Blur song, "Girls & Boys" so much now it's been stuck in my darn head all day (Girls who are boys who like boys to be girls - Who do boys like they're girls, who do girls like they're boys -Always should be someone you really love 🎶). Yay '90's. And love Blur.

This was a bit eclectic:

- A pair of Pilcro/Anthro cropped barrel chinos,

- Sweater from Banana Republic,

- My ride or die Ugg moto booties (I'm so paranoid I'll wear them out I actually have two pairs since they don't make them anymore),

- A tweed houndstooth moto jacket from Theory.

I swiped on some make up - mainly HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Color Fuse Talc-Free Blush Powder With Fermented Arnica French Rosette , Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Gloss Luminizer Fenty Glow and some Jones Road Just a Sec Eyeshadow in Bronze. But after putting on makeup realized I preferred the bare face I'm sporting in this pic. 

And yep, the song is still stuck in my head.

[danielledanielle]

I enjoy your presence here... So you do you and check in whenever. 

I feel you on the my fave pair vs obsolescence, may the soles of your boots never wear out or be scuffed 🙏🏽🙌🏽 @PDXXXX 

You make grunge look so good, classy one may say

[PDXXXX]

Thank you @danielledanielle . I'm officially adding "classy grunge" to my style goals - well put!

[danielledanielle]

Taking a page out of @itsfi and doing a few looks in honor of BHM💯 with visuals from music videos from Black Musicians 

The Fab:

"Made for Now" Janet Jackson, Daddy Yankee 2018

The Fit: So it's cold here, so the skirt was a no, especially an all white skirt.  I couldn't find cowrie shells...I know I have something, somewhere... But we have the cinched waist, shawl and I used a cardigan as a wrap for the feel

The Face: PAT McGRATH LABS MOTHERSHIP XII Eyeshadow Palette: Petalmorphosis with Holiday 5 pan, Sunlit (?) Seduction 

[miss8]

#OMG 😍 Janet Is Queen 👑 @danielledanielle 

[PDXXXX]

I love seeing your inspo and how you made it your own @danielledanielle . The color palette is gorg and those boots to boot!

[danielledanielle]

Thank you @PDXXXX , I sometimes forget that Inspo doesn't need to be an imitation, so I'm glad it translated
