It’s been a while, I know. I haven’t been able to sit down at the laptop and write. My mind has been very distracted by all the health issues that decided to afflict visit me. I suppose that’s understandable but still not an excuse so here I am, back and ready to rock n roll 🙂
And what better for a comeback than strong, graphic lines? In Black and White, no less.
A visual spread of prints. It’s stripes and snakeskin and geometric all rolled into one #ootd, and actually looking quite decent.
For the face, I used Too Faced’s Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar with lipstick from Dita Von Teese.
I love love love that Derek Lam Snakeskin Clutch. Anyone else notice that I’m holding it back to front in the picture above??? Sigh.
Gwen Stefani can do no wrong when it comes to boots, and this pair just happens to be one I reach for quite frequently. Do you blame me?
What about you? What’s the one item in your closet you reach for the most often?
Love, Sheela
