FOTD | Elsie Vintage, Sleek Makeup & Magnolia on Sunday

26.6.14

On a normal day at work, I wear no makeup. On special days/days I wake up with makeup on my mind, I spend 20mins max on my makeup. On Sundays however, I can spend up to 45mins doing my makeup. Sundays are for our 'Sunday Best' so I decide how I want to look to complement whatever it is I am wearing on that particular sunday.

On this day, I was wearing a top I got from Elsie Vintage last year at a Shopping Event. This top has been sitting in my closet since last year and has never been worn. Why? I really have no idea. On this particular day, I was feeling breezy and bright and so decided to wear it. I wanted colour on my face but had no idea how it would look considering that I love neutrals and have those on most of the time. Seeing as I don't work with colour on myself most of the time, I decided to use the colours on the top as an inspiration.
And, this is how it turned out.

I really had fun with this look and it made me realise that 'just a little colour' every once in a while isn't such a bad idea.

Since Sunday is the one day of the week I am certain of wearing proper makeup, I am trying to make sure I get enough content on sunday for one proper FOTD post per week. Let's see how that goes.
