Part Three Of The Blue, Yellow, And Black Triptych


The beautiful and amazing Cara Mia of Hippie Couture sent me this awesome gold spandex jumper. I'm a fan of her blog, and her Etsy store, Future Hippie, is full of technicolor vintage goodies. Go see what I mean. :)
I'm wearing it with a blue turtleneck from Target, a thrifted vest (the one I teased about a few entries ago), tights, vintage Nine West booties, and my custom necklace from Etsy seller, Stoopidgerl.
.
I also decided to experiment with black lip gloss, inspired by the elusive Chanel YSL gloss that made a few waves not long ago. I layered some Halloween novelty black lipstick over Urban Decay primer potion and under Maybelline Superstay clear gloss.

It looks pretty cool, but my usual purpink or tomato red do much better favors for my pale complexion. OK, to be honest, it looks a bit ghastly. Perhaps with a tan and a more sophisticated outfit it might look better, but I like how it fits in with the celestial palette of my outfit.

  4. Skye, on October 16th, 2008 at 2:52 am Said:

    I think you need to put the gold dress and the purple leggings togethr for true metallic nirvana!

    Ali,
    WendyB &
    nenuca – Thanks!

    Skye – LOL, tried that just for giggles–I looked like I belonged on a high school dance troupe! My high school’s rival’s colors were purple and gold, so that could have something to do with it… but I totally felt the teen spirit! :D haha

    lol. i like how you were like… okay it looks ghastly. silly! i think it would look good if it were more matte? what do you think? i’ve wanted to try that with the crazy ysl one that has like a wait list?! haha.

  7. Vixel, on October 16th, 2008 at 3:39 am Said:

    I think black lipstick transcends ghastly, it’s a statement more than a colour you wear because it suits you, and therefore I think in a weird way, anyone can get away with it as long as they have the confidence to pull it off.

    I may be talking rubbish though, I’m not very awake yet!

  8. Miss Karen, on October 16th, 2008 at 5:41 am Said:

    Oh that etsy shop is so awesome!!

    And I love your outfit everything works so well and I don’t mind the black lipgloss it works well as part of the whole color scheme! :)

  9. Katie, on October 16th, 2008 at 6:42 am Said:

    I dont think the black lips look too ghastly! I don’t think its a flattering colour for anyone, its more a stement colour than an ‘i’m so beautiful’ colour, but you pull it off just fine :) i do like the gold dress with grey tights its a combination I would never think to wear but it looks good, I may have to start!

  10. x Miss Corrine x, on October 16th, 2008 at 8:56 am Said:

    I think you MASSIVELY rock the black lip! :)

  11. Cara Mia, on October 16th, 2008 at 10:01 am Said:

    wow! i love how you put it together with the tights, top and jacket…..the necklace makes it…….and with this specific look i think the lipstick works great. :) you rock!!!

  12. tassia, on October 16th, 2008 at 10:23 am Said:

    that’s true. And in the movie they used to say “oh, it’s nice, after I can make it shorter and use again” – ironically, sure.

  13. Fashion Chalet, on October 16th, 2008 at 10:45 am Said:

    Golden dress, amazingly shiny and fun. :)

    xo/ fashion chalet

  14. Laarni, on October 16th, 2008 at 11:02 am Said:

    Wow! You pulled it off! Sexy!

  15. Annie Spandex, on October 16th, 2008 at 1:04 pm Said:

    Farren – Oh yeah, it must have been YSL, not Chanel. I must be thinking of Chanel because they used to have one, right? I’m sort of clueless about these things.

    Vixel – Good point.

    Miss Karen,
    Katie,
    Miss Corrine – Thanks! <3

    Cara Mia – No, you rock!!! I love the dress. ♥ Thanks again.

    tassia – (Hey everyone, we’re talking about that Katharine Hiegl movie, 27 Dresses ;) ) Exactly, that’s what everyone says but they almost never do!

    Fashion Chalet &
    Laarni – Thanks! :)

  16. enc, on October 16th, 2008 at 8:30 pm Said:

    I like you in the black gloss.

    You look great in the gold jumper, and did a great job of combining it with other pieces.

  17. stoopidgerl, on October 16th, 2008 at 9:37 pm Said:

    woo-hoo! You look radicool!
    Love that jumper!!

  18. lenorenevermore, on October 16th, 2008 at 10:19 pm Said:

    lov the gold… it rocks! Not so sure abt the lip colour dear… ;)

  19. much love, on October 17th, 2008 at 5:37 am Said:

    wow, I can’t imagine being allergic to chocolate!
    Cool outfit! :)

  20. The Stiletto Effect, on October 17th, 2008 at 8:32 am Said:

    that outfit looks great on you, but i dont imagine myself wearing it! love the shoes :)

  21. Em, on October 17th, 2008 at 10:49 am Said:

    OOH gold & shiny=love! Looks awesome!

  22. Sal, on October 17th, 2008 at 12:57 pm Said:

    You know, the dark lip looks really lovely in the wide shots … but not as much close-up. Maybe a darker, but not black, shade for experimentation!

  23. Dana, on October 17th, 2008 at 1:11 pm Said:

    I agree your usual pink/red is the hotness
    you are the QUEEN OF LAME baby

  24. Dana, on October 17th, 2008 at 1:14 pm Said:

    I agree, pink/red is the hotness on you
    you are the QUEEN OF LAME!

  25. please sir, on October 17th, 2008 at 2:13 pm Said:

    Love the look – very cool!

  26. Annie Spandex, on October 17th, 2008 at 2:21 pm Said:

    enc – Thank you, I value your opinionm highly.

    stoopidgerl – Heheee, thanks!!

    lenorenevermore – Me neither..

    much love – Lol, it’s no fun, trust me! I’m allergic to milk too, so the everything on the dessert menu is banned unless it’s fresh fruit. :P

    The Stiletto Effect – It’s a little on the Rainbow Brite side, lol..

    Em – Thanks, my little magpie! <3

    Sal – It looks great in the shot without the vest. Makes me wish I had a 20′s bob. But yeah, it’s pretty much unwearable.

    Dana – Oops! Looks like Super Cache hid your comment from you! Sorry, thanks for posting it again. It cracks me up to read LAME as in uncool and not the fabric, lol… :D

    please sir – Thanks!

  27. Couture Carrie, on October 17th, 2008 at 2:24 pm Said:

    The last pic is the best! You look so cute; very reminiscent of “Vanessa” (aka Elizabeth Hurley) in Austin Powers – remember the futuristic silver garb?

    Anyway, delighted to meet another Princess Bride fan!

    Stop rhyming now, I mean it.
    Anybody want a peanut?

  28. amanda lee, on October 17th, 2008 at 2:35 pm Said:

    I love it! I’d totally rock it with purple (those purple leggings OMG!). Or with that turtleneck and navy tights to match. Anyway, superhot!

  29. taghrid, on October 17th, 2008 at 8:45 pm Said:

    omg, i totally am considering getting the ysl black lipgloss. i think i will finally get it!

  30. Eli, on October 17th, 2008 at 9:09 pm Said:

    You totally should have worn a super high ponytail!

  31. Bella, on October 17th, 2008 at 10:41 pm Said:

    You look incredible! I’m loving the gold… and those boots! Need I say more…

    you really pull off this black gloss, i think it’s great, punky and different.

  38. Ashleigh, on October 18th, 2008 at 6:02 pm Said:

    such a great gold jumper!

  41. Dana, on October 19th, 2008 at 10:52 am Said:

    you know annie spannie
    I just wanted to let you know
    I don’t like lame in colors on ANYONE but you
    and you are inspiring me to consider maybe thinking about perhaps wearing a small lame piece in a color other than black someday.

  42. susie_bubble, on October 19th, 2008 at 1:56 pm Said:

    Everything is just working like clockwork…the denim tones down the gold…the jumper shape adds a different dimension to metallics and the black gloss works with your blond locks…. goddamnit it’s genius!

  43. Amaris, on October 19th, 2008 at 5:02 pm Said:

    that jumper is deeelish! :D

  44. Tara, on October 19th, 2008 at 8:10 pm Said:

    Awesome outfit, I think the gloss works with it! I’ve been curious to see what it looks like if you’re not a YSL model so thankyou for satisfying my curiosity!

  45. Stef, on October 20th, 2008 at 6:47 am Said:

    Wow, the black lips are fierce! You pull off so many trends that are outside the norm, and do it with such style. Love the blog :)

  46. Always In Style, on October 20th, 2008 at 1:44 pm Said:

    I LOVE the black gloss on you — I’m so jealous you were able to snag the YSL :)

  47. Valentine, on October 20th, 2008 at 2:41 pm Said:

    I love that gold jumper! Though I doubt I would have enough chutzpah to pull it off– but you look wonderful– like a collage of the past and right now.. :-) A futuristic hippie (for lack of better adjectives to use).

    ps

    I dont think the black lips are ghastly– they are quite nice.. but could take time getting used to..

    xoxo

    a) that gold jumper is immense.

    Eli – Lol, I’ll keep that in mind for next time.

    Bella – Thank you!

    Although it’s not TOO scary, it’s fun to experiment – I like the other colors on you better :-)
