Outfit of the Day: White Sweatshirt and Green Pants
Hi Beauties!
I am sure you all know that certain feeling when you do something for the first time, something you feel like doing for the longest time. Oh well, I have that feeling of excitement as I do something new, my very first OOTD post!
I would describe myself as someone who loves comfort and style at the same time. I think I am receptive to different fashion styles, from conservative, to vintage-y, to very feminine to that of girl-next-door and so on. In this post, I would like to share the casual, comfort wearer me on a day that I went to the park to take a stroll with my parents and sister together with my husband and son.
I know I will have some playtime with my son at the park’s playground, so I chose to wear a very comfortable cotton sweatshirt. Sweatshirts are very popular knit garment made to cover the whole length of arms. It is cold where I live and I easily get cold, so sweatshirts are a staple in my closet. The fabric of what I was wearing is a bit thin, perfect for a day when it warmer. I wear it next to skin in the middle of the day, but in the late afternoon, I wear a white sleeveless shirt underneath to keep me warm. I love white top as it looks clean and fresh.
While a sweatshirt looks simple and plain, a nice lightweight scarf can add life to it. This little piece of garment really makes a huge difference in my whole look. My scarf was given to me by a friend who went on an Asian tour last year. I do not know the scarf’s brand, but it says it is “Made in India.” I love adding this to my entire outfit since it has a neutral color and has orange print on it, which adds a pop of color to the scarf. =)
White sweatshirt is very versatile as you can pair it with any color of pants you like. I have been a “blue jeans wearer” all my life and recently, I have been very interested in wearing colored pants from crayola colored, bright to subdued colored skinny jeans. I paired subdued green colored pants with my simple white sweatshirt to step out from my usual.
I chose to wear a pair of brown earrings to enliven my face. I also used a peach vinyl ribbon to tie my hair since it is really windy at the park in the afternoon. I wore my aviator shades when the sun was all up. I do not wear accessories since I like the entire feel to be easy going. My scarf served as a cool neck piece.
I wore a brown sling bag and very lightweight, very comfortable checkered flats to make the look simple yet, not plain at all. My shoes are from Toms. It is a company which donates a pair of shoes to needy children every time you buy a pair from them.
On my face, I used a Nivea face sun block to protect my face from the sun and used a very lightweight cream foundation from CoverGirl that supposedly lasts longer than the powder foundations I have. I don’t want re-touching at the park on such an active day. I dusted a peach mineral blush from Maybelline. I neatly lined my eyes lightly with brown cream eyeliner from 4U2, as US brand of makeup. On lips, I first wore NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Antwerp which is a peachy lip color. I forgot to bring it for touch up, so I ended up using Revlon Just Bitten Kissable in Sweetheart in the afternoon. I just wore it lightly for that pinkish lips.
There, with the outfit I wore this day at the park, I had so much fun taking photos with my family and running around, playing with my son. Yup, comfort and style can always meet! =)
