Hello everyone! There's only three days left until Christmas!! Things have been a little hectic these past couple of weeks but the tree is decorated and all of the gifts are wrapped. I'm ready to relax and enjoy the festivities! The holiday festivities began early this year, starting with a staff Christmas party, which I attended last weekend with Mum.
Originally, I had planned on purchasing a new outfit for this event but nothing really caught my attention so I decided to shop my closet and found items with the tag still attached. This is how you know that you have a shopping addiction. I had purchased this faux leather peplum top from H&M months ago and never had the opportunity to wear it because the cold weather and snow came much too soon. This black and gold bow belt (tag still attached) inspired me to do a black and gold themed outfit. I got a little creative and wore the peplum top over a dress with a feather bottom, added the belt to define my waist, a classic quilted bag, gold manicure, black and gold eye makeup and. . . voila! Sometimes all you need to do is remix items you already own to make it new again, or in this case, find items in your closet that have never been worn and mix it with the old.
What I'm wearing :: Peplum Top ~ H&M. Feather Skirt/Dress ~ Bootlegger.
Black Pumps ~ Shoe Mint. Black & Gold Bracelet ~ Smart Set.
Black Quilted Bag ~ Express.
One of my purchases since becoming an Avon Representative is this trench coat from mark.avon. I already have a few trench coats but not in black so I'm very thrilled about this new addition to my wardrobe. The unique design and quilted faux leather details instantly caught my attention. I was a little hesitant at first due to the mark.avon brand being suited more for juniors, but the size chart recommended going up a size, which I did, and the fit is perfect!
Unfortunately, the snow came much sooner than expected here in Northern Ontario, so I didn't get as much wear out of it as I hoped. I'm really looking forward to wearing it again come springtime.
This grid pattern sweater, which I picked up at Winners, is also a new addition to my wardrobe. Black and white is one of my favourite combinations and it's the perfect backdrop for adding a pop of colour.
What I'm wearing ::
Grid Sweater ~ from Winners
Black Skinny Jeans ~ Guess
Tall Boots ~ JustFab
Bag ~ Ricki's
I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!
