Tickled Pink: Not A Shrinking Violet

Spring makes me want to pull out the bright colors, so recently, I wore these pink pants with white pieces to create a cheerful work look.

Pants:  The Limited (old) (Similar here)

Jacket:  Peter Som for DesigNation by Kohl's (Available here)

The zipper detail on the pants echoes the zippers on the moto jacket.  The studded top underneath continues the detail.

Top:  The Limited (old)

Bag:  The Limited (old)

I added navy shoes and an ivory and navy bag to complement my navy nail tips.  Gold jewelry completes the look.

Earrings:  Express (old)

Bangles:  Target and The Limited (Target bangle available here)

I love that this look has just a bit of edginess to it while still feeling fairly classic and completely appropriate for a more casual day at work.

Tickled Pink: Romance and Tulle

Hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Skirt:  eShakti (Sold out on-line; Similar here)

Today, I'm continuing my salute to pink with this bubblegum pink tulle skirt.  Mixed with taupe, soft gold, and beige, the girly pink takes a more sophisticated turn.

POCKETS!!!!
Rose tank:  The Limited (Available here)
Cami:  Wet Seal

Jacket:  The Limited

It's no secret I'm a big fan of tulle skirts, so when I saw this skirt recently, I couldn't resist. 

I'm planning on some ways to wear this a little more casually, but for today's look, I kept the look a little dressier.

Booties:  Target (Available here)

Ear cuff set:  Forever 21 (Available here)

Bracelets:  Express, The Limited, World Market

Clutch:  New York & Company

The ankle booties keep the look from being too delicate.  With these chunkier heels, the outfit could work for some day functions, as well as evening events.

Tickled Pink: Eyelet and Florals

Happy Friday, everyone!

It has been a crazy busy week, but today, I'm starting a new series on one of spring's biggest colors - PINK!

Skirt:  eShakti (No longer available; Similar here)
Blazer:  eShakti (No longer available on-line)

Sometimes I think pink gets a bad rap as being too saccharine.  There are so many shades of pink that I think it's possible to find a shade that fits your preference.  From girly to funky to edgy to classic, this stereotypically feminine color works well with any style.

The first look in this series includes my first purchases from eShakti.  I used the custom fit option on both this pencil skirt and coral-y pink eyelet blazer.

Shoes:  Prabal Gurung for Target
Clutch:  Target

Unfortunately, my first experience was not quite right, and both the jacket and skirt were a little too big.  The customer service at eShakti was phenomenal and they agreed to reimburse me with store credit for the costs of taking these pieces to a local tailor.  I had the sleeves and the body of the jacket taken in a bit and had the skirt shortened and taken in.  These tweaks make the outfit perfect, and I then used the store credit towards the purchases of this dress and this dress.  :-)


BEFORE

AFTER

I originally envisioned this outfit for evening and included it as part of a fantasy Valentine's Day look over at The Curvy Fashionista.  Unfortunately, I can't afford the clutch and shoes from that look, but I improvised by adding floral lace-up heels and a green pendant.

Necklace:  Express (old)
Longline Bra:  Bare Necessities (Available here)

Bracelets:  Express (old)

Ring:  Ixora Boutique (Available here)

Adding a simple black tank and swapping the clutch for a larger work satchel made this outfit work appropriate. 


Satchel:  The Limited
Booties:  Target (Available here)

Bangles:  The Limited (Sold out on-line; may be available in stores)

Earrings:  Ixora Boutique (Sold out on-line)

Into The Blue

Tonight, I'm bringing you my work look from yesterday.  

Pants:  The Limited (Sold out on-line; Similar here and here)

I'm a huge fan of cobalt blue, and I especially love this color paired with white - it feels so fresh and crisp.  This combination also  reminds me a lot of both blue willow china and Moroccan tiles, which I've always loved.

Blazer:  The Limited (Similar here)

Blouse:  The Limited

I decided to play around with the multiple blue tones in the scarf by adding a navy top and heels to the cobalt pants. 

Scarf:  The Limited (Sold out on-line; Similar here)

Bracelets:  Express, LOFT, eBay, Wet Seal, The Limited

Mixed bracelets help tie the look together.

Heels:  Target (Similar here)
Bag:  The Limited (old)
