Red Lips, Black Jumper

I don't feel up to being a show pony in front of the camera and tripod today so I decided to showcase a few old photographs from me goofing around with red lipstick. It's good to see these photographs though because it shows how long my hair has gotten now, it's got a good four inches on it compared to the length shown here. I really wish I hadn't lost that tube of red lipstick, although I have others none of them have that coral sort of quality about them but I don't wear lipstick that often anyway so, no harm done really.

If I had the motivation and a second job to work I'd love to collect a few more vintage collared shirts such as the one pictured above but the world doesn't quite work that way and I have to make do with what I have available in my wardrobe. A few more eBay auctions down the track and once I rid myself of some more junk and pick up some cash then I'll probably raid Etsy of cool vintage stuff but until then I should just stick to wearing all the clothes I already have.

Wearing: American Apparel Fleece Cape, Vintage Embroidered Collar Shit and Vintage Crochet Black Jumper.

These photographs were taken at least a year ago and my hair has grown in leaps and bounds in terms of length but I still have my wonderful cape in my closet and refuse to sell it although it doesn't get a lot of wear these days. Maybe it can be something I wear fearlessly to university with leggings from Wowch? The colour seems a little brighter in these photographs due to the very minimal hint of yellow in the lights but the cape does have a bit of a darker hue to it.
I haven't worn this combination in a while but I do love the embroidered sleeves and collar on that vintage shirt- I wear it to all my job interviews and it's sort of lucky since I usually land the job when I do wear it. There's a bit of embroidered detail down the middle of the shirt as well but I think with the black crochet jumper over the top you can see the best of the stitch work. The red cape over the top just adds a splash of colour to the whole ensemble as well and matched my lipstick really well- but I've lost it since then.
