My family went out to dinner the other night and I used this as an opportunity to play dress up. I paired my black Old Navy maxi dress with silver sandals I snagged at TJMaxx. To accessorize I wore my Tiffany infinity necklace and diamond stud earrings. I paired my sparkley Michael Kors wristlet to complete the look. Okay, so I couldn't resist adding sparkles to this outfit.
My outfit isn't necessarily a huge fashion risk. However, this maxi is the first true maxi I've purchased with the exception of high-low dresses. I'd been wary about the maxi trend since I'm close to 5'8 and didn't want the dress to look too short on me. I'm glad I took the plunge with this simple maxi that has become a closet staple. It's so easy to just throw on and pair with fun accessories.
What really made my outfit stand out from usual though was my lip color. I swiped on a color I had never really used before and completely forgot I owned, Clinique 'A Different Grape'. I instantly fell in love with this pinkish grape color. It applied smoothly and and comfortably almost like a lip gloss. The lipstick also has great coverage. The way the violet hue complimented my skin tone, eye color, and black maxi was perfect. It's a fun lip color risk for a girl who is used to light pinks!
I felt like a rock star all night in my outfit and even received a few compliments.
So my beauty advice for the day is age old: don't be afraid to take a risk!
