BLACK  JEGGINGS OOTD, LOUIS VUITTON BAG & KEY POUCH, PLUS A ROSE GOLD MAKEUP PALETTE

My Jeggings Outfit

When I wore this outfit, the day began in the 60s Fahrenheit and rose to the mid-70s, so I was glad my shirt was sleeveless and my sweater was made of cotton, not wool. I’ve had the Brooks Brothers Sleeveless Dress Shirt for years and wear it a lot, because it provides a light layer without adding any bulk (or too much warmth) in the arms. It’s perfect for our changeable fall and winter weather–and especially our very hot summers. I also have the Brooks Brothers White Ruffle-Collar Sleeveless Blouse. In fact, I love it so much I have two of them, so if one is in the laundry the other one is available to wear. Both styles of shirt are so popular, Brooks Brothers brings them back every year.

The Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette Accessoires & What’s Inside

The set of bags I’m carrying is a new design from Louis Vuitton called the Multi Pochette Accessoires. It consists of two small pouches and a round coin purse with your choice of either a pastel-pink or khaki-green web strap, plus a short chain strap. I have the pink strap, however on this day I decided to wear the bags with a monogram strap that I’ve had for years.

I pre-ordered the Multi Pochette last August after seeing an article about it on line, and I’m glad that I did. By the time it launched in stores on September 27, 2019, it was sold out (plus the price had been raised), and there is now a waiting list for it. If you are interested in purchasing the bag, you can put it on your wish list on line at Louis Vuitton and also ask your client advisor to put you on the waiting list at their store. Alternatively, it is available for immediate purchase at Fashionphile (a partner of Neiman Marcus), although at a higher price since it is in such demand. (Both new and pre-loved items are offered there.)

Buying Pre-Loved at Fashiophile

I purchased a pre-loved Louis Vuitton Monogram Key Pouch from Fashionphile and use it to carry credit cards and cash in small bags like the Multi Pochette. I’ve been trying to buy it at Louis Vuitton for two years, with no success. The monogram version never seems to be available whenever I check either on line, or with customer service at the 1-800 number, or with either of my client advisors at two separate Louis Vuitton stores (one in Naples and one in Chicago). So, when I saw this one I nabbed it.

I show my Key Pouch below, and it is in such pristine condition it looks brand new. I was able to save about $50 by buying it through Fashionphile, because it was missing the key chain. That was fine with me, since I already own the Key Pouch with a key chain in the Ebene pattern. I purchased the Monogram Key Pouch specifically for credit cards and cash.

One great thing about shopping through Fashionphile is that I don’t pay sales tax in my state, which gives me an added savings. On large purchases, that really ads up. I purchased a handbag there recently, which I’ll be showing in a future post, and not having to pay the sales tax made a considerable difference in the price. Another plus is that shipping is free, and once I receive my item, I have 30 days to decide whether I want to keep it. If I decide not to, I also receive free shipping back to Fashionphile.

Something Pretty I Found

Oh, and before I forget, I mentioned a cardigan in my last post that I thought was so pretty. Well, I decided to order it and it just arrived. It’s the Stitched Ann Cardigan with Pearl Buttons in pastel pink from Ann Taylor, and I love it! It’s very feminine, and the colors combine a soft mauve pastel-pink trim with a heathered peachy-pink body, and delicate pearl buttoms. It’s currently available in all sizes, if you’re interested.

Using Clean, All-Natural Products on My Skin

In today’s post I’m again wearing eyeshadows from the Rose Gold Palette sent to me by 100% Pure. In my last post I created a bit more dramatic eye by also using a black eyeliner, but for this day look I used just the three eyeshadows.

I’ve been buying makeup from 100% Pure for about five years, because I only use clean, natural products on my skin. (Our skin absorbs between 60 and 100 percent of what we put on it.)  All 100% Pure cosmetics are cruelty free and are naturally pigmented from fruit, vegetables, tea, and cocoa.

For details on the rest of the makeup I’m wearing here, including where I placed the shadows on my eyes and the makeup brushes I used, scroll down to What I Wore/My Makeup Brushes & Makeup.

Thank you, as always, for taking the time to visit my blog and read my post. I hope you enjoy the video.

Scenes From The Video

(ABOVE & BELOW) I pre-ordered the Louis Vuitton Multi Pochette Accessoires this past August, and it was sold out (plus the price had increased) by the time it appeared in stores September 27, 2019. There is a waiting list for this bag at Louis Vuitton, so if you are interested in it ask your client advisor to put you on their list. It also is available for immediate purchase at Fashionphile, although it is at higher price there since it is in such demand.

As for my belt, I have it in several colors. It’s made of an elasticized woven canvas, with leather trim, and because there are no pre-determined holes, it always fits, whether I’m wearing it with low- or high-waist bottoms.

(ABOVE & BELOW) Louis Vuitton Key Pouch, purchased pre-loved at Fashionphile. I use this for carrying credit cards and cash in small handbags.

My adjustable pearl and gold bracelet is from David Yurman.
