FOTD: Peacocking

Peacocking: Dressing for attention. Just like peacock’s use their feathers to get a mate. A phenomenon at Fashion Week where people dress outlandishly for the purpose of getting photographed by street style photographers.

Well. I learned a new word there, didn’t I? As I work from home most of the time, I only have the computer to “peacock” for so that’s not a lot of fun. The husband ain’t too interested and thinks I’m a bit of a moron for strutting my stuff in the living room, that git. πŸ˜›

Dior 5 Couleurs Couture Colour Eyeshadow Palette in Peacock

Still, I thought I’d have a play with a relatively new eyeshadow palette by Dior. It’s from the Birds of Paradise collection and it’s called – well you’ve guessed it! – Peacock. It’s a beautiful palette of olive green, sort-of-a gunmetal teal (if there’s such a colour), lighter green and muted gold.

I found the greens quite powdery in texture but the rest are smooth. Typical of most eyeshadow quints from Dior, these are sheer but quite buildable. The combination of colours is beautiful and if you love green eyeshadows, you’re going to love this one.

What’s a peacock without its feathers? Just for the look, I got these faux feather earrings from Lovisa. Oh boy, these sure jazz up the dullest of outfits!

It’s a simple but pretty look that is definitely office-friendly. As the eyeshadows are sheer to begin with, you’ll have no problem wearing this to work at all.

I hope you like this simple FOTD look today. I find myself enjoying FOTD posts more as I practise and try my hand in recreating looks. That’s what blogging does to you; it makes you do things you wouldn’t normally do. πŸ™‚

Now, to properly “peacock” out of the house … ooh, I’m going to have to really step out of my comfort zone for that one!

    You look so lovely. I recently purchase a beautiful Lovisa earring that is an ocean blue pearl. Pity the prices are expensive in Malaysia compared with what I see on their website. Lol.

    1. Tine

      Aww thanks V! I got these earrings for $12.99. I haven’t been to any Lovisas in Malaysia so I don’t know what their prices are. I hope they’re not expensive because they’re cheapies here πŸ˜›
