Purple









T-shirt:: From a benefit concert hosted at my high school
Skirt:: Thrifted - similar here and here
Necklace:: Belonged to my grandmother - similar here
Earrings:: bebe double hoops
Lips:: Airborne Unicron opaque lipstick with Pisces Zodiac Glitter on top, both by Lime Crime Cosmetics


If you haven't been able to tell, I'm a tad bit obsessed with the color purple. I used to love everything purple as a child, whenever someone would ask me what lollipop flavor I wanted my response was always "purple" (such a smart child huh? lol). This love for the color has carried over into my adult life and expanded. I like to play with all shades of purple from lavenders and lilacs to deep mauves.

Here I am playing with shades of purple, white, black and gold. I think that gold really pops against purple and it just so happens to also be my fraternities colors! - yes I was in a co-ed professional fraternity in school.

My look was actually built around this skirt. I chose to wear a crop top with it so that there wouldn't be so much fabric hanging on my body as the skirt is already very full. Crop tops are always fun, but when paired with a midi skirt the look becomes more balanced and sophisticated. A sliver of skin makes the look a little bit sexier without letting everything hang out. Shiny accessories and a bold lip complete this look giving it a fun and funky edge.

I hope you like it, and see you all Monday! Don't forget, just THREE days left to enter my contest!!

Thanks for reading<33

Harem Pants & Turquoise Accents












Uniqlo heat tech shirt, bebe harem pants - similar here, flatform sandals - similar here and here,  turquoise bracelet and necklace gifted from grandfather

Happy Tuesday!

Today's look is built around these harem pants, I love the funky print with shades of purple. When it comes to more flowy/baggy pants like this I like to balance the look with a more fitted top. Since the weather is still cold I paired it with this simple black long sleeve top from Uniqlo. I love wearing these pants with flatform sandals, especially these super strappy ones I got from DSW awhile back. To complete the look I added some turquoise accents with this bracelet and necklace that belonged to my grandfather. 

Hope you like the look, and thanks for reading!!
