Outfit Of The Day (Black and White)

So this weekend Sephora was having a VIB closed door event, I was super excited in attending since this would be my first time participating in such event.

This outfit I put together was inspired by the event. I also did a black and white manicure inspired by Sephora, if you're interested head on over to my instagram makeupbymarcelarivera. There's a direct link in the homepage.



       

While in Miami visiting family, I did major shopping. My husband, sister and I went to Dolphin Mall and we perused the stores for 6 hours. I'm not even kidding y'all. If you're not familiar with Dolphin Mall, it's like a BIG indoor outlet mall. There's also many restaurants to choose from so you can fuel up and continue spending your hard earned money, which we did.   

Long story short, this simple but very beautiful shirt was found in one of the Marshall's Home Goods aisle. That's the only downfall from shopping at stores like Marshall's, TJ MAXX, or Ross. These types of stores are not all that organized, but if you're not in a rush and have the time to really walk the store you can find some great stuff, at very cheap and affordable prices. Hence, this shirt was only $8.98. I love the style of this shirt because it emphasizes your waist, and the vertical lines give the illusion of a longer torso. Which we all know at 5'2, I am very short, with a very short torso.

The white jeans are from Express. They are the stella low rise ankle legging. Not sure why a mother of two young'ins would purchase white jeans, but I managed to keep them clean and white for the rest of the day.

Later that day (after the Sephora event), we took the kids to the movies to watch Planes: Fire and Rescue. Which by the way, was a really good movie. I am always cold inside the movie theater's, so I decided to bring my leather jacket with me. Even if I didn't use it, I'm sure one of my little one's would be asking me for it.

This style is the peplum style jacket so it's very forgiving, (if you know what I mean). The brand is black rivet, and you can find something similar here.

My makeup was very basic. For foundation I used the Lancome Teint Visionnaire skin correcting makeup duo in the shade 250 Bisque W. For a little bit of color on my cheeks I used Tarte's Amazonian Clay 12 hour blush in Captivating. A gorgeous warm peach color that I feel goes great with my warm complexion. I added a little bit of a highlight on the tops of my cheekbones with Dior's Amber Diamond.  On my eyes I used the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette. The darker colors on the outer V and crease, and the lighter colors on the brown bone, and lid. To finish off the look I used Yves Saint Laurent rouge volupte lipstick in #1 Silky Sensual, and topped it off with Yves Saint Laurent gloss volupte in #20 Nude Carat.

And that completes my look y'all. What do you think? I used a lot of high low pieces so the outfit is very affordable.

I  hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
