My friend Maggie and I always match. I don’t even know how we do it. We never coordinate our outfits in advance, but we always end up wearing similar color schemes. On Saturday, when I had a few people over to hang out and watch Star Trek and Firefly, we were both wearing black and purple.
Top: Re/Dress, leggings: Domino Dollhouse, cardigan: Kohl’s, shoes: L.L. Bean, flower crown: Crown & Glory, amethyst acorn necklace and earrings: SpaceForestCraft, other jewelry: miscellaneous, lipstick: NYX Wicked Lippies in Betrayal
It’s hard to tell from the pictures, but Maggie’s necklace says “Flawless”!
I love, love, love how dark lipstick looks on me–I just wish it stayed on better. I’ve never found a dark lipstick that didn’t smudge and come off easily, which is why I usually stick with light-colored stains and glosses (like Revlon’s Just Bitten Kissable lipstains, which are my absolute favorite, and which I have in five or six colors).
My outfit was sort of a lazy woodland-witchy-goth look; lots of accessories, but not many layers of clothing. I love layered strega and dark mori looks, but they take a while to put together, and they’re also quite impractical. Leggings plus an asymmetric tunic and a cardigan is much more comfortable and easier to move around in.
My friend Emily made a delicious giant cookie that was as big as my head. 🙂
I love that we share a flair for fantasy and truly thematic, fanciful looks. Your description of your outfit as “lazy woodland-witchy-goth look” cracked me up because I’ll describe my outfits with similarly long and romanticized phrases. I think purple and black looks both regal and darkly romantic. I have an eggplant colored skirt that I’ve previously worn with brighter colors, but last week I paired it with black and really liked the “dark queen” vibe.
Isn’t it great when you’re accidental twinsies with a friend? It drives Kyle mad because we’ve started accidentally coordinating on a daily basis. I don’t know how it happens, but it’s hilarious. Maybe it’s just evidence of a true kindred spirit?

That crown is chuffing amazing, and goes so well with your top and lipstick! I ❤ this outfit hard.
