A Pop of Color

I have been really been in love with black and white lately. As also seen in this post  white and black truly are staples of my closet. Using black and white adds an air of sophistication while the hot pink just adds a bit of fun.

Blouse: J.Crew Shoes: Nine West Watch: Swatch

I never was a girl for wearing bright colors, yet this blouse unusually appealed to me. The color is just so blatantly brilliant. Yet, it’s one of my favorite pieces in my closet because of its vibrant hue and thus I have become more confident in wearing outlandish colors.

It’s interesting what a blouse can do for you.

I still have trouble believing that August has descended. It feels like just a week ago it was the beginning of July. Time sure does fly. But, I am really excited for Autumn. Don’t get me wrong,  the season of summer is such a fun filled time… Yet, fall brings cooler weather, boots, scarves, and hot chai tea lattes.

Right now I’ll just enjoy the last few weeks of summer with a glass of iced coffee in hand. 🙂

So…what vibrant color will you be wearing this week?

Enchantingly Poised

 

For this outfit, I was really a feeling a vibe of an old-fashion Paris movie. Therefore to go with this vibe, I really wanted photos that seemed vintage-y. I really liked how the photos turned with an antique-esque vibe.

I love this pink button down because it is such a soft pink that it can match with most clothing articles. And since the flowered skirt also has buttons, the outfit looks very organized and symmetrical when the buttons line up.

Top: Pink long sleeve Collar: From an antique store Skirt: Local Store  Shoes: Nine West

This collar I found while digging around at an antique store. I seen other people wear them, yet I had never worn that type of accessory. However, there was an inkling in that back of my mind that it could really make an outfit. So I bought the collar, and I am happy that I did. It looks really great with long sleeve collared shirts and adds a wow factor to any outfit.

(Side Note: Last Friday I cut 5inches off my hair. It feels so lightweight and short! I’m really liking short hair.)

Stay Elegant, Caroline
