Semi- Formal

This weekend was my little cousin's sweet 16 birthday party; the theme was black and white semi-formal! I have to admit I am still weary of mixing black and white because it always makes me think of my days singing in the choral concerts in elementary school. Thus, I decided that I would wear either black or white.

 I found this amazing silk black dress at Madewell that was tailored, flirty and feminine. I wanted to wear something that was respectful of the dress code, while also incorporating hits of my favorite fall color so I added my everyday bordeaux clutch, cheetah print shoes and some great jewelry statement pieces including 2 rings and a necklace. 

I also took this weekend to experiment with a new lip color! I usually keep my make-up pretty simple for many reasons, but mainly its because I am always rushing and never have time to put on a full face of make-up. However, with the seasons changing I have been feeling a bit restless and looking for something new that will give my look some more edge, which is exactly what I hope this new lip color will do! If you are looking for a new color check out Black Cherry by Revlon! I never thought I could love a lip color as much as this one, but I was wrong! It goes on smoothly, lasts all night and comes off easily--perfection!
