Brown eyes, of course

Hey Ladies of the brown eyes, you all knew it was coming.  :)

Now I don't consider myself an expert, but here's the makeup I do on a fairly normal basis.  I have brown eyes, and to give myself contrast-y eyelids I have a dark brown with a bit of shimmer for my crease, a bit of highlighter for my brow bone and the corner of my eye, and then a bronze-y for my lid.  I also apply mascara to my top and bottom lashes.  Sometimes I forgo the lid and brow bone and just apply dark brown to my crease.  It's not a lot and just gives a bit of contrast without looking heavy(I love this particular shadow).
Obviously, brown isn't on the color wheel, but I also suggest purples and greens to bring out the richness of your brown eyes.  Try out different colors of eyeliners like Emilyann said, those are fun, or even purple mascara.  Go ahead and experiment with it.  With my light olivey skin and brunette hair, brown eyeshadow is my favorite right now.  But it also depends on my mood. ;)

Have fun ladies (and happy summer, thank goodness it's here, right?)!

Hello All!
Just another outfit of the day.  It was a lovely spring-ish day in the middle of winter, and I don't mind a bit.  Hope you're all having a wonderful day!

Hello Beautiful People!

Hello Beautiful People!

My name is Lillian, and I am filling Josie's place as the magical seventh author for Dressing Room Door.  And as sad as I am that she is gone (sniff, I loved your posts Josie) I am entirely excited to be a part of this blog now!

So.  A bit about me so that you can add a bit of personality to the pictures here:

I have my own personal/fashion/photography/food/life blog over at Frills and Furbelows.  I love writing for it, but am a *little* sporadic in posting.  

I love fashion, and always am thinking up new ways to wear the clothing I have.  I love patterns and prints and color and texture, and don't really follow trends, just incorporate them subtly, when I like them.  As far as makeup goes, I don't do much.  I most often wear mascara.  Sometimes I'll add a bit of eyeliner or eyeshadow, and sometimes I'll go for a crazy color or cat-eye liner.  But I'm pretty simple.  For hair, I have super short hair, and enjoy messing it up as much as it will go and experimenting with crazy afro-like curls and such.  But really, I'm low-maintenance in regards to hair and makeup.  

I love photography.  Right now I am very into the documentation of things, so I always have my camera with me to take picture of whatever strikes my fancy.  

I, like the other wonderful DRD ladies am home schooled, and take classes with Veritas Press, which is an amazing online-school.  

I am a Christian, and love my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  He's saved me from my daily sins, and given me a hope and joy of eternal life with Him!  

I have three younger siblings, and a wonderful mother and father (a photographer and landscape painter!)

So there.  A little blurb about me.  At some point soon, I will put up my bio up there ^^  under my name, with plenty of random bits of detail, but until then, I hope you can enjoy reading my posts, despite the fact that you don't know what I like best to eat for breakfast.

 Ok, so a little bit more about my outfit.  

I wore this to my one day of "outside" co-op school, and just added the heels when I went to a casual-ish gallery opening for my father.  

I got this skirt at ARC Thrift store, and it's homemade!

I really liked the bright color and pattern, but the cut wasn't too flattering, so I pinned it up in the front like that, creating a "mullet-dress".  Just kidding that's a horrible thing to be compared to.  

Though you cannot see it very well, there are little veins of yellow and red in the skirt, and I thought this green best complimented it.  I had a darker, Kelly green scarf on earlier in the morning when it was chilly, and you can see it there in the second picture on my purse.  It added a bit more balance to the outfit, being darker.  

And the shoes.  I love these shoes.  I wear them with everything that requires a heel.  Pretty much.  They're a great color and shape that hasn't really gone in or out of style, so it's pretty easy to add to any and every outfit.  

I love it when the weather is cooler, as it is now, because I can begin to layer and wear more patterns as the weather gets colder.  Where as summer: not so much.  

So there you have it!  

Feel free to contact me via the dressing room door email, I would love to answer your clothing/style questions!
