November Uniform: Weekend Style + Beauty

Above: My November uniform.
I cannot believe that the first week of November is behind us and that this is Beauty Professor’s 900th post.  Thankfully, this month has brought welcome relief from what has felt like an interminable heatwave.  The leaves are changing and the temperatures are dropping, allowing for long sleeves, jeans and, dare I say it, COATS! 

This combination is generally my uniform of choice for packed teaching days and casual weekends; and although I often wear heels with this ensemble, I’ve lately been exercising a fond appreciation for the comfort of high-tops, especially towards the end of the week when my feet have had their fair share of strain.  Consequently, here is an overview of my current November uniform, replete with a beauty breakdown of epic proportions.
Kindly scroll on for more details + a copious amount of product images and swatches as well as the Bottom Line…
Above: This pair of Nike Air Max boots are absurdly comfortable and waterproof. 
Style Details:

  • Equipment France Slim Signature Blouse: I wear delegates from my Equipment collection a few times a week; they’re unequivocally versatile and this black silk version is worth its weight in gold in my wardrobe.
  • Frame Le Skinny de Jeanne in Barbour Wash: Procured while in Miami last month, these skinny jeans are a classic gem (finding a pair of bleached blue denim without holes is next to impossible) and the stretch is so comfortable and does not lose shape over the course of wear.
  • Nike Air Max Waterproof Sneaker Boot in Tawny (also available at Footlocker): I have been on a hightop kick as of late and this sienna pair caught my eye.  They have an elevated sole and feel as if you’re walking on air…brilliant!
  • Topshop Duster Coat (from two seasons ago…similar one HERE): Thin (yet warm) with a boyfriend fit, this coat is my homage to Elaine Benes on Seinfeld.  Although I’ve had this particular garment for well over two years, I keep purchasing coats that look like this due to their ease of wear and timeless styling.

The images of this makeup look were taken following an 8-hour teaching day with no touchups whatsoever…stalwart, indeed.

    Wow! The Kevyn Aucoin Diaphanous Radiant Powder looks so finely milled!. You've found me a more refined & convenient alternative to the Ben Nye Banana Powder!

    Also, bravo on looking relaxed yet immaculate after an 8 hr teaching day!

      My pleasure, Anon…thank you!

      With regards to your question, the foundation is similar in tone to the TF Natural (if only a hair lighter in depth). It is absolutely wonderful in terms of coverage and lasting power!

    So true about finding skinnies without holes. Even my favorite current pair has a manufactured rip, and I wish it didn't! Will have to check out Frame denim.
