Hard to believe the summer is drawing to a close but nothing dulls the pain of that like Fall Shopping!! It is indeed the most wonderful time of the year. So don't miss my annual Fall Fashion List this upcoming Monday. It's the things I'm loving this season and your shopping guide.
Stay tuned! Xoxo
A kimono is the perfect summer piece to have in your closet. I was drawn to this one because of the colors and built this outfit around it. Bright colors are so much fun which is why I am also a huge fan of bright colored pants. One of the best things about fashion is all the fun you can have playing with colors.
Lets talk accessories. Nothing compliments a having-a-bad-hair-day messy side bun like a pretty headband. I have plenty of these for such occasions. These earrings are my favorites. They are Swarovski and are of course from Joyce's Jewelry. This necklace is my own creation per say. You'll get a closer look at that later.
Fast Tip Tuesday
The next time you are doing a little wardrobe shopping keep the color wheel in mind. Sometimes you just look at an outfit and think how fantastic it looks, but don't really think about why that is. The color wheel basically applies to everything in life; clothes, hair, makeup, etc. But, when I was in hair school I really started paying attention to it.
Here is a Fast 101 on the wheel:
To celebrate our "dating anniversary " (nerds I know) we went to see a musical at the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh. It was so nice to have an impromptu date night.
My outfit was one for the books. First, my skirt. My mom (a seamstress by trade) made my skirt. I saw many photos of full length skirts and kind of told her what I wanted. Thanks Mom!!The top is from Forever 21 and fabulous feather stole is from Chantal Thomass from our trip to Paris. I actually saw it, fell in love with it, left it, and then went back for you.
The high waist and crop top is probably my favorite current trend. It's one that was from spring, went into summer, and will be sticking around for fall.
So let's talk jewelry. Three of my very favorite pieces that I wear all the time. First my Vahan bracelet that was my wedding gift from MK, second my really long pearls that I wear at least twice a week. They go with everything. Third, my 27th birthday present to myself. A diamond and morganite ring. It sure did dull the pain of turning one year older!
