Inspiration: dark khaki satin jacket and metallic bronze skirt

loving this khaki satin jacket and gold metallic skirt combo...

let's start with this dark taupe, almost bronze quilted bomber jacket...

Beige taupe cateye sunglasses

and team it with this bronze metallic pleated skirt; it works because it's not too matchy-matchy...

 a simple black tee t shirt...

although this little leopard top would be just a little bit wilder...

these khaki cateye sunglasses...

Khaki jelly sunglasses

this tortoise shell link necklace...

and the very frosted and toasty Wet n Wild Cashmere lipstick...

KleanColor Coffee Addict nailpolish...

tigereye rings like this Buddha ring...

black sneakers would be cute...

but I'd take it up a notch with these black peeptoe booties...

but actually snakeskin booties would work extremely well too...

Style Inspo: Lauren Hutton in cocoa dress

I came across this photo of Lauren Hutton in her cocoa brown knit dress and toasty brown lipstick while looking up Ciara perfume by Revlon, a fragrance I distinctly remember from the mid-70s when my mother bought it with some Ultima II makeup in Melbourne, Australia...

and here's the sepiatone magazine ad that came out in 1977...

 luckily I already have this cocoa brown cowl neck knit dress dress...

even this sof knit cappuccino dress...

changing beverages now, this heather wine dress...

but then these retro cool cranberry red sunglasses...

 
and I think the wine red dress would team well with these blue oxford shoes...

and this black sweater dress would be practical too...

very cool with a trench coat...

and the knit dress would look great with a harness...

 and I can see it with these very mod snakeskin booties / ankle boots...

like this one in her grey knit dress...

Beige and brown Chelsie boots

Cinnamon brown Chelsie booties boots

Black Chelsea boots

GD printed beige sneakers

Rootbeer brown jelly sandals

Cinnamon brown espadrille mules

brown JG Hook penny loafers

maybe this tigereye Buddha ring

and this smouldering cocoa brown frost Wet n Wild Cashmere lipstick

or Wet n Wild Mocha-licious 914C...

and of course, Ciara perfume by Revlon, that was apparently named using initials C and R from the name Charles Revson... Is that the huntress and moon goddess Diana on the pretty saffron and gold packaging? And I love the oxblood / deep red writing on the bottle too. How reminiscent of Etruscan frescoes and Ancient Rome. Any fragrance that has the notes myrrh, incense, leather, musk, vanilla and woods like Brazilian Rosewood and Cedar has to be perfect for autumn and winter!

an ancient Roman fresco of goddess Diana on the hunt, wielding her bow and arrow...

of course, this golddenrod saffron pleated slip dress would be perfect with Ciara...

and I would team it with this mustard / saffron yellow waterfall cardigan...
