Purple Lipstick in Winter

What an intense winter!  The snow here in Brooklyn has literally been amazing.  My winter boots have never gotten this much wear in my eight years here.  I am so tired of winter boots, that I have been wearing my wedge sneakers as boots whenever possible.  Salt and dirty-snow stains on leather boots usually sufficient for New York winters is not fun.  I digress.  

To combat my winter blues, I've been wearing bright lipsticks just about daily, and really enjoying my make-up collection.  Here's a look from last week:
M.A.C. blush in fever & Stilla lip gloss that wears like a lipstick


I really enjoyed my colors here: the purple lipstick again the blue (with green) flannel and navy sweater.  And I always love a gold accent here and there.  In this case my nameplate necklace works perfectly, and I love my pave link bracelet with an otherwise casual outfit.



Gap cords, Old Navy Flannel, J.Crew Factory bow sweater, Vince Camuto sneakers
Outfits such as this one truly make me reflect on the evolution of my teacher style.  I still love a certain teacherly-look-- pencil skirts and tucked in blouses-- but I am enjoying showing my of my personality in my work outfits.  I have learned that I can still dress appropriately and wear sneaker wedges.  

More to come, as I am finally on Winter break, and staying put for once.  

Love,
Miss M
