Red Lips + a Glammed Up Sweatshirt

Well, I can check one thing off my list: I found some red lipstick! I still feel very conspicuous when I wear it, like I may as well be walking around with a visible thought bubble over my head that says "Hello! I'm wearing lipstick!" but I figure eventually, I'll get used to it. Maybe it will be similar to my first go-round with skinny jeans or a big ol' statement necklace. I wear both of those like it ain't no thing now. My goal is to be a nonchalant lipstick-wearer, you know, like a messy-haired Parisian girl who "forgot" to put on any makeup save for a swipe of Ruby Woo. (Don't worry, I'll use concealer on my tired-mama dark under-eye circles.)

I may have upped the conspicuousness factor by wearing this embellished sweatshirt, but despite its glitzy appearance it's amazingly soft and cozy. Any time I can wear a soft sweatshirt to work is a win to me. This look is second only to a dress in it's simplicity: sweatshirt, black pants, lipstick; no other layers or accessories needed.

Do you wear lipstick? What's your favorite shade?
