Day 3/30: Hot Pink-ity
Tuesday, June 14, 2011I'm wearing a few new items today. An ASOS top with beautiful draping, which I first saw on Tiffany @ I am Style-ish and fell instantly in love with. The only downside? It came with shoulder pads. When worn, I resembled and felt like a puny quarterback, so they were quickly cut off. No before pictures because I forgot, but the after felt and looked much better.
The pink and gold ring I'm wearing is actually a scarf ring courtesy of Elle (thank you so much for indulging me in my love of scarves!) But... instead of using the scarf ring looped through a scarf, I went and wore it as a ring, lol. I thought the three intertwined pieces looked super cute when worn on the hand a la Cartier Trinity ring, yeah? They're a bit clunky, but stacking a regular ring on the outside prevented any slippage. Or, instead of my brute force method, see Jean's post on other helpful ways of wearing a too-big ring.

It's a beautiful top. Love the way you accessorize it.
ReplyDeleteoooh! hot pink and white is such a great combo. i'm not really an accessory/jewel person, but damn, those "rings" really *make* the outfit!!

Hello- I love your first three outfits so much, I had to be come a follower. Can't wait to see what else you come up with. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteGood use of the scarf ring, very creative. How do you use an actual scarf ring anyways? I never even heard of one until now...
ReplyDeleteA) Awesome colour palette.
ReplyDeleteB) Way to be creative with the scarf ring! I love how this entire look turned out and the ring is the cherry on top!

Cee, you're doing so well with your challenge. I am still struggling with what to wear every morning :) What a creative way to wear scarf rings. Who said we need "petite-friendly" ring, right?
ReplyDeleteThis top is such a gorgeous color, and I love how you paired it with the white pants.
ReplyDeleteAnd what, exactly, is a scarf ring? Will you be wearing it in it's actual capacity at some point, so we can see how it works? I'm intrigued :)
Love the look and the accessories! Isnt it fun to do the challenge? more fun with funner bloggers like you to do the challenge with! your style rocks!!

White pants are always beautiful...with everything. Beautiful color combinations, Cee.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the kind words and support <3
ReplyDelete@kimchi girl - Girl, me too. That is, I wasn't a jewelry person until recently and I can't believe how much I've been missing out! D'oh!
@Popcorn, Pugs & Peonies - Hi there! Hopefully I'll be able to keep it up for the next month ;)
@Jarucha, @Tara - Good question. When I figure it out, I'll let you know, hahaha. I think the ring is meant to take the place of hand-knotting... but we'll see.
@gold N turquoise - They were pretty thin shoulder pads, but still shoulder pads nonetheless. Does the color and shape kind of remind you of a 70s/80s look when shoulder pads were in? I think that's what they were going for, but I'm more of a modern girl :)
@PetiteLittleGirl - I plan a few days ahead otherwise I would feel overwhelmed in the mornings :) But, I'm sure once you start a few outfits, it won't seem as daunting... until perhaps maybe the last few days of the month when we feel like we've worn each item to death, lol.
No petite rings for me b/c I have chubby fingers :D
You have such a cute blog, just found it and I love bright colors with white pants, I think your rings go perfectly with this whole look too. Great post! Following you now and on twitter. :)

i really like that ring on, actually! yikes, cant believe things still come with shoulder pads. im assuming they were the super thin ones? it fits well tho, and the pop of color is perfect.
ReplyDeleteyou look so put together in all your photos...unlike me..i ran around every morning figuring out what to wear lol
ReplyDeleteI just love the color of the blouse and it goes so well with the white pants. Have you use your tripod yet? I only use mine couple times but I do like it though.
Gah so creative! I think when you're done this 30x30 you will have to take us through your outfit picking process! Love it!
ReplyDeletethe white with the fushia top is a great combination, very popping colors and fun for the reason. I love this outfit!
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn that I commented on this post but don't see it anywhere...strange...
ReplyDeleteWell I love you in the pink top and the white pants are so chic! You are just amazing Cee...how many times have I told you that? LOL
Cee, this is a wonderful outfit and I love the colors too. So cheery. =)
ReplyDeleteCee, you look like you've walked off of a cruise ship right onto your own little island! I hope you understood my analogy. I just think you look soo "relaxed chic"! I still love those pants!
ReplyDelete@purses and puppies - Yep, I'd say they were pretty thin, but still too thick for my liking, if that makes any sense :)
ReplyDelete@simplyvonne - I've been planning ahead for the next month, otherwise I'd be running ragged in the mornings too! I actually have been testing out and playing with the tripod! Hopefully real shots coming soon :)
@Elaine A (TOBeautyReviews) - Hehehe, I will try, but there's not much rhyme or reason :)
@b_ra - I do! And I wish that island I just hopped off of was in the Caribbean!
love this color!
ReplyDeleteLovely look
