Just a simple, no fuss outfit to start off the new work week. Have a good one!
Continuing with the pink (and red) theme from the last post, even though Valentine's Day is long behind us. I keep all my clutches in their respective dust bags on a high shelf when not in use, so sometimes I forget their existence. Shame on me. The Jenny Yuen clutch I'm carrying today was one of my earliest purchases when I first became interested in bags. I remember she and Rebecca Minkoff were up-and-comers around the same time. Unfortunately I don't think JY is in business any longer. I miss her clean designs and use of high quality materials. Note to self: must remember to reach for this pink clutch more often now that spring's right around the corner!
When it comes to styling this cowlneck sweater, I think I've gone through just about my entire button-up stash. Green, chambray, stripes, red, plaid, printed, and now gingham. The neon pink color and fabric material are both on the casual side, so I planned the rest of the outfit with this in mind.
Have a good Thursday, everyone!
The last time I wore these boots, I chose to pair them with a skirt and a busy top. I didn't really like how that outfit turned out, so decided to keep things much simpler this time around. No patterns, neutral colors, and minimal layering. If I could've swapped out either the jacket or dress for a non-leather piece while keeping the same silhouette and color scheme, I would've done so. Though I think the suede bottom helps balance out the all-leather top somewhat?
I saved this orange and blue outfit for today's post because well, I don't know if my team will still be in the tournament after next weekend, haha. I sure hope so! (Sorry, until we lose, you'll have to put up with my obnoxious homerisms). Go hoos! #Sweet16
