Garbage - Cherry Lips
Slowly, but surely, I have been trying to incorporate more color into my wardrobe. You may remember that for a little while, I went through a navy blue and black phase. While I'm still wearing navy blue here, I thought I'd spice things up with a hot tamale red skirt. This skirt is not only comfortable and figure-flattering, but more than affordable. At $3.80 (yes, you read that right), the price tag only made it that more appealing. The navy blue dress (that I wore as a top) was just as much of a steal, at less than $15; and the fact that I can wear it as either a dress or a top makes it well worth the money. Don't you just love the puff sleeve detail? I sure do! I got the necklace at Nordstrom after passing by it day after day. I finally caved in and decided to buy it. Maybe it's the fact that it reminds me of candy and tickles my inner foodie heart, or maybe the vibrant colors drew me in, either way, I was glad to add it to my growing necklace collection. I purchased the glittery pumps back in February for my birthday at Bakers. They're very reminiscent of the Steve Madden Caryssa pump, but I am almost sure I got them for half the price. All in all, I think I am well on my way to making my wardrobe much more colorful.
You look stunning in these photos, such flattering colours on you, your eyeshadow is perfect too! :)

That necklace is what made me comment. It's awesome!! I do the same thing you do -I walk by something many, many times...until I cave.
ReplyDeleteOr I just pick it up that day, immediately; both shopping methods are problematic for the wallet as the items always seem to end up back home with ME :)
Very Nice!! i need to incorporate some more color into my outfits!!
ReplyDeletesexy mama
