March Additions to My Year-round Basic Wardrobe

Today I am sharing the items I am adding to my year-round basic wardrobe for the month of March. 

I am working through my clothing to see which items will stay and be added to my four seasonal boxes, of which I will "shop" from every time I want to change things up in my wardrobe.

For the next while I will be creating monthly capsule wardrobes that include my year-round basics and different additions each month. I am starting this project a bit late but it will go on until I have fully curated a wardrobe that represents my colour palette and also my three style words: Mellow, Fine and Gaiety. These style words represent how I want to feel when I get dressed...comfortable, polished and fun!!

      1. Camouflage Dress

      5. Striped Tank-top
      6. Floral Top
      7. Green Patterned T-shirt
      8. Navy and Grey Baseball T-shirt

For Shoes I have:
      1. Black Wedge-heeled Pumps
      2. Black Combat Boots
      3. Tall Black Riding Boots
      4. Brown Desert Boots

Self Care is Good for the Soul

Image
I choose Sundays as my day to indulge in some beauty self care. I take a nice relaxing bath, I put on a face mask...sometimes a sheet mask, but most of the time it is some kind of mask you spread on your face manually.  The latest one I tried was this Life Brand Revitalizing Cucumber and Witch Hazel Peel-off mask. It was goopy and spread over the face nicely. It's a clear gel-type mask so you it's hard to tell in the picture below that I have anything on my face, other than it looking wet. I let it dry while I relaxed in the tub.  Once I could feel it was dry, I peeled it off. It left my face soft and glowing, but I wouldn't say it felt overly hydrating or plumped. Overall, it was nice mask to try and not overly expensive either, about $3 CAD at Shopper's Drug Mart. If you can get them on sale for 50% off, stock up on a few different kinds! After my mask, I washed my hair, shaved and washed up. That is how I like to relax each Sunday. What is your self care routine?

Versace Yellow Diamond Perfume Mini

Image
This is a mini bottle of Versace Yellow Diamond perfume. I purchased 3 mini Versace fragrances from Sephora and this is the first one I have tried.  Top notes of Pear Sorbet and Lemon; Middle notes of Mimosa and Orange Blossom; Bottom note of Musk. It is a fresh and lovely fragrance that makes me feel  both pampered and sophisticated.  Because it is a mini bottle, I wanted to mix it with these essential oils, with an ounce of alcohol, to accentuate the orange and lemon notes of the fragrance.  The carrier oil is Jojoba with a dash of Orange and Lemongrass essential oils. The alcohol acts as a filler as well as a thinning agent to make this beautiful scent go a little bit further!!  I probably will not purchase this fragrance, even though I really like it, because I have many others to get through, and many others I would like to try in the future.  Also, a 3 oz bottle retails for $95 CAD from the  Chic Parfums website. That's a little bit more than I would like to spend on a fragra

I Got My Colours Done!!

Image
For my birthday this past year I asked my husband to get me a colour consultation with a lady I have followed on YouTube for over four years.  Image courtesy of @useless_dk on Instagram Her name is Signe Hansen of www.uselesswardrobe.dk   and she is a certified stylist and colour consultant. Because I had already been following and corresponding with her in the past, I wanted to support her and get my colour consultation with her. I did have to do it virtually over Zoom because she lives in Denmark! You are probably familiar with "Colour Me Beautiful" colour draping services. However, it has really evolved over the years. I first heard about it in the 1980's when it used to divide each of us into different colour seasons based on our skin tone, hair and eye colour. Now it is more nuanced and there are more groupings that are more based on tones, shades and saturation of colour than just the four seasons. I sent Signe pictures of me in natural light, both with and without
