Happy 2017! I hope you all had a wonderful new year and I’m so glad to be back here reconnecting with you guys. 2016 was a year of changes for me as I started a new job after a year and a half off as a stay-at-home mom, moved into a new home, started a new workout regimen, and made lots of new friends while saying goodbye to others. And while more change will certainly be in store for me as both Mei and Dylan will be attending school full-time starting this semester and we’ll no longer have the help of our nanny, I’m anxious to see what 2017 has in store for me and have a good feeling about this year!
I picked up this top last week and wore it out for a lazy New Year’s Eve running errands and spending time with the kids. I love the black fabric paired with red floral print and the criss-cross wrap front gives it a casual elegance while creating a flattering silhouette. It’s perfect for a daytime look and I just switched into some shorts for a dressier, New Year’s Eve night-out look!
And before I forget, I just have to share the deets on this red lipstick! I’ve always had issues finding a red lipstick that flattered my skin tone and didn’t look too loud or gregarious on me. I picked up a few of the latest Elizabeth Arden matte lipsticks last week and am so in love, especially with this Bold Red shade! Even though these are matte formulas, they doesn’t dry out my lips or make them look chapped either. The application was silky smooth and I’ve noticed that I can get at least 4 hours of wear before the color starts fading!
