Glammed-up neutrals



I have been dying to wear this little sequin skirt from J Crew since I bought it a few weeks ago. Luckily we had tickets to the symphony on Saturday night - and it was the perfect opportunity to wear this AND try out a new eye makeup look I've been obsessing over. I think the outfit and the eyes turned out great (good enough to suit me, anyway)! I love that everyone was was mostly in classic black/white/floral summery dresses - and I was in these neutral tones that had a little flash of gold here and sequins there. Also, this outfit was comfortable!

PS - I apologize in advance for the 'come hither' stares I'm giving you in these pics - this was after a bottle of wine at dinner and I guess this is just how I look after that.

















J Crew skirt, NY&Co shirt (old) and earrings, Simply Vera by Vera Wang pumps (Kohl's), AT Loft rings and bangles, F21 necklace,  Expressions NYC clutch (TJ Maxx)

    ha! These are actually more comfy than any PlV pair I've ever tried - and who could argue with the price??

    Thank you!! This eye makeup was really fun to do actually - but I had to use 3 different palettes that I have LOL. Mostly YSL, but I also used one color from a Chanel palette and also Stila Kitten. I'll do a makeup post soon with more details!
