For those who love outfits of the day videos and blog posts here is one. Being allergic to cold (I am truly, as I suffer from primary raynauds whereby cold weather inhibits my circulation in hands and feet and results into chilblains causing me terrible burning and itching sensations) I never look forward to winter and I am always excited to say goodbye to cold weather and welcome back spring and summer. However, I must say that my favourite season is by far spring because the weather gets warmer but it is still not so hot. In terms of both makeup and clothing this is the ideal season as you can wear our makeup without having drying or oily problems due to cold and hot weather. And in terms of clothing we get to wear what we want without the need of covering up our outfits under thick coats and scarfs.
So after a long winter and now that I am finally feeling better (no more itching and burning) I am really enthusiast about wearing lighter clothes, layering short and three quarter sleeves pieces with cardigan and spring jackets and alternating boots with ballerina and pumps. Here is one of my first spring 2011 outfits of the day. Because I am so happy that spring has started I wanted to share this outfit with you hoping it gives someone an idea on how to put together items in their wardrobe.
This outfit is very simple and comfy. I am wearing a nice skinny jeans which has nicely patterned patches over the knees and the colour is neither too light not too dark. I paired it with a v neck burgundy plum shirt which had grey stripes. The shoes which are not visible in the outfit pictures are plum as you can see in the second image. They are pointed flat shoes (which I like to call ballerina shoes although I know the ballet ones are roundish) and have a mini kitten heel which is going to be very in this spring and summer. I then layered a beige long cardigan and finished the look with a colourful scarf which has grey and plum touches and a grey handbag. For accessories I just wore some stud pearls and my wedding band.
I kept my makeup very simple. I just concealed some redness and blemishes areas and applied a pink blush and a highlighter on my cheeks. On the eyes I applied black pencil eyeliner and smudged it on top whereas I applied brown shadow on the lower lash line. I coated my lashes with a little mascara and applied a light plum lip gloss.
