The Outfit
The exact pieces I wore to build Palette #282 — lilac dressy top, red jeans, cobalt green jewelry, maple belt, and animal print loafers — or the closest current equivalent where the original isn't available.
I love this top and the mini pleats in the fabric. Very comfortable. Unusual, but looks polished and great as a business casual top. Love this piece! Glassworks pieces usually come in one size, but fits me great as a size 10 US.

A close match to the jeans I'm wearing in the video. Everlane no longer makes the jeans I'm wearing in the video, but this is closest thing I can find to the softer red color + cropped cut of the jeans.
Good Icon Mid Rise Straight Leg Ankle Jeans in Cherry Red
The Rothy's loafers in the video are no longer available, but this is a similar flat loafer style in the maple color. I've heard excellent things about Vivaia shoes from my colleagues who wear them all day at conferences.

High quality belt and I love the metal ends. It has a slight shimmer, while also looking suede-like. Highly recommend! (and it's the belt I'm wearing in the video).
WHIPPY Women Suede Belt with Gold Buckle
Close option to the vintage Bill Blass watch I'm wearing in the video, but I think any watch with a red band will do. I like the soft gold / rosy gold (but not full rose gold) look of the hardware on this one.
OLEVS Women's Leather Band Waterproof Watch
This is the lovely necklace I'm wearing in the video, though this stone is a little bit darker. Keep an eye out on the stock because the lighter stone version might come back. It's a beautiful piece, with a nice heavy stone and quality chain. I'm alw...

Almost exactly like the spoon bracelet I'm wearing in the video. I love the style and it's has a magnetic closure, which is super easy to put on. And it doesn't even look very spoon-like.
Vintage Silverware Spoon Bracelet: Evening Star 1950, Handmade Jewelry
Very similar to my pressed flower ring in the video (and I think this one might even be prettier than mine). Pressed flower rings are underrated.
Gold ring with pressed blue flowers and leaves
These Amazonite prong earrings are very similar to what I'm wearing in the video. The color is almost exactly spot on and I feel like I can use this color in so many of my other outfits. And still relatively small, so nice if you prefer more subtle j...

The Makeup
The makeup I used to finish the palette — shades chosen to hit the Lilac, Maple, Cobalt Green, and Eugenia Red color story.
The Saie Slip Tint in shade Two — sheer, and just the right about of dewy coverage. My daily foundation. SPF 35 is a bonus for my super fair skin.

The blush I used is no longer available, but this shade is very similar to it. Shade - Happy.
Soft Pinch Matte Bouncy Blush - Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez | Sephora
My favorite lashes! Give my lashes a little “oomph” without feeling heavy-handed.
ALICE Natural Short Lash Clusters 8-12mm
The bond I use for my lashes. I'm an oily skin girl and this lasts better than any other kind of bond. And it comes off nicely with lash remover.
Bondage® Extra Strength Bond with Charcoflex®
Terrific at giving my eyebrows a bit more volume and color while still looking natural. I use the neutral brown color but apply it lightly since it's slighty darker than my natural brows.
Gimme Brow+ Tinted Volumizing Eyebrow Gel - Benefit Cosmetics | Sephora
The shade “Happy” is what I wear almost daily. Just seems to go with everything and it's super comfortable to wear.
Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil Stain - Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez | Sephora
My perfect undereye concealor and very close match to my skin. Lightweight and really stays without creasing. Love it!
Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-puffing Concealer with Fermented Arnica - HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA |
The eyecolor palette I used from Laura Mercier is no longer available, but this palette has the exact same shade (A3).
