Stripes and Plaid
Just a quick selfie to show off some things I've been loving lately, including the combination of plaid flannel and navy stripes:
Top: This was an item on my fall wish list. I love the substantial weight of this navy-and-white striped crewneck shirt from Amour Vert that comes from the double-facing of two poly/cotton knits with different widths of stripes. This long-sleeved shirt is in constant rotation now the fall weather has finally kicked in. Long live stripes!
Scarf: A classic plaid scarf in a cotton flannel, from American Apparel of course. I've been wearing this everywhere lately.
Lipstick: NARS Sheer Lipstick in Dolce Vita. I stash this cult classic in my work bag for when I need a neutral pink. It goes with every occasion and the formula is moisturizing and easy to wear. It's no wonder why this has won tons of awards.
Nail Polish: Essie Twin Sweater Set. A blue-based, but true red from Essie's Fall 2013 collection. This picture is actually day six of this manicure and, despite a bit of tip wear, it's still looks great. The formula is a cream verging on a jelly. The color is not original but definitely a winner.

I've been obsessed with Twin Sweater Set since it came out. It's been on heavy rotation on my nails this fall and I think I'm actually going to pick up another bottle of it just to keep for down the road.

Yeah, it's a great color. It's funny how I don't really have anything like it in my collection even though it might be considered a "basic" red.
DeleteI want every item from this list.
ReplyDeleteGood taste.
DeleteLove everything! The Amour Vert top is on my short list. Glad to hear you like it.

Totally! (The scarf is unisex, by the way.)
