Antique Golden and Vintage Brown


Top:

    Tag Above
   Size S
   RN# 112207
   Made in Indonesia
   Modern

    A simple ribbed tank top. Not much more to say about it other then that. Don't know the brand "Tap Above" but you get a bunch for sale when you Google it.

Skirt:

    Axcess a Liz Claiborne Company
   Size 10
   RN 52002
   CA# 16395
   Made in India
   Modern

    I have several Liz Claiborne skirts. something about that line I like the look of I guess. That brings an interesting bit of news. Liz Claiborne brand is no more... yes, you heard me right! Check it out here Liz Claiborne officially becomes Fifth & Pacific
   I've had this skirt for a number of years and the size 10 is too big on me now but with the long shirt it hides it.
   The paisley embroidery is a metallic gold thread with touches of red and blue. Look at the bottom of page with the pic of my nails, you get a good look at the skirt details.

Shoes

     Michelle D
    Size 9

   For some reason these shoes fit when I bought them and now they are too big! It's sad cause I really like these shoes!

Accessories:

    Pin: Early 1900's

Golden Amber and yellow crystals. I do not know the age of this pin. It's old but I don't know how much. I will guess between the 1890's - early 1900's. Could be newer then that but my understanding of styles of different eras that's where I would place it in. I don't know much about the piece other then it came from a lot of jewelry on E-bay back when you still paid with paper checks in the mail! Yeah, that was a while ago!

Necklace: Modern

    This a combination of two things. The locket came from a craft store without a chain. It dose open up like a real locket. On the front is a picture a lady in a fancy cap. The chain is from a necklace I bought at Joyce Leslie +Joyce Leslie  in Westchester NY. It had a little purse that would open up. I managed to get that off and run the other locket on it. The chain has a spot that has a pearl and a lace bow. I like how it looks with this!

Makeup:

Eyes:

Lips:
    I wanted to do just a really natural looks so I went with this ELF eye shadow. I've had it a long time so I'm not sure they are using the same formula now but this shadow has a very soft easy to use feel.
    I sold Avon at one point. I do not now but I still like the brand. When I was a representative I collected a small collection of lipsticks. Their Ultra Color feels more watery then other brands it's not cake'y at all. This is a pretty color but checking their site I couldn't find it :-( They do have a large collection of colors. More then they did when I got mine.

Left over Red, White, and Blue polish from July 4th!

Winter Blues for Super Party


Jacket:
GEORGE ME (by Mark Eisen)

    A classic looking black jacket by GEORGE ME. A line carried by Walmart. The thing about this line is that some from the line are cheaply made but others are so well made that they don't look like something that came from Wal-mart! The reason for this is Walmart teamed up with Mark Eisen to create a higher in designer line for Walmart. I really don't think it went over that well being it is getting harder if at all to find a thing of quality on the Walmart clothing racks. And really I found a lot of my GEORGE ME were found at a clearance price and thrown with cheaper quality articles.

Shirt
Poof Couture
Size L
Modern

   This is a fun style sweater. I got it at a Joyce Leslie, a clothing store found in the NY area. +Joyce Leslie  They have cute modern stylish clothes and if you catch the sales right you can really get some deals.
   This sweater has sequins woven in the whole piece. I will admit those could be rough on bare skin.
   One side of the arm there is a real working zipper.

Skirt

Chaus
Size 6
Made in Taiwan
RN 51325
Vintage - 1980's

   I did not realize this skirt was that old. I've had it for years. I have two black skirts. One long. One short. After moving to NY I discovered I brought the short one but not the long one! Finally at last I have been reunited again!
   It's a circle skirt. It's labeled as a 6 but it's a very small 6. Perhaps due to it being vintage and I thing someone may have moved over the hooks on the waist band.
   I don't recall ever seeing the following on a content label...
34% Triacetate
45% Polyester
   Triacetate?! Click link to find out what it has to do with photography!

Make-up
   I'll only highlight the lips here. I was on the way to a Super Bowl party after church so I'm not even sure what was on my face besides the lip stain.
   This was a, I like the color on this model and lets find it on the shelf beneath but the color in not named in the photo! This color looked the closest and I'm happy with the choice!
   I also mention "Ball in Vienna" in "Party With the Young'uns" HERE
   A very bright rich color and lasting. Feels weird at first but once it sets it's pretty lasting! I would like to get my hands on another color but they are hard to find. I've only found them at two Walgreens. Id like to find it in a redder red. It's very glossy! I like MEGA LAST® LIQUID LIP COLOR but it's not as glossy as this gloss.
