Day 30/30: Light Accents

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

I saved my favorite look for last. I know the messy casual look (shirt half tucked) isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I like how it fits with my imperfect self. Ponytail-ed hair, necklace askew, hair scrunchie left on my wrist. These imperfections are me, and now you know what I'm like on days that I should try harder for the camera :)

A full recap of the past month should be up tomorrow!

necklace: Forever 21 (currently sold here)
blouse: LOFT (similar)
belt: Ann Taylor (other colors sold here)
shoes: Nine West (currently sold here)

    I think the messy top is a great look, just like a messy ponytail! Great outfit for the last day of the challenge!

    i love this look! the messy tuck of the shirt makes it look less formal and the color from the belt peeking out is just perfect. great job completing the challenge! you made it look so easy!

    i love the monochramatic sort of look here - but it has so many details that it has lots of interest. and i like the "messy" look! and yay for making it to 30!
