Dust-that-Dirt-Off-Your-Shoulders


It's summertime and off-the-shoulder blouses are big this year. I've had this coral printed top for years, however. On this day, I wore it with matching sandals and jewelry- gold and coral stick earrings, gold and coral bangles, and a gold and coral leaf ring. I hadn't worn this brown summer fedora yet since I got it for Christmas, and since my hair was wet and unstylish, I thought it would be a good touch. Lastly, I wore white dress shorts that were given to me and, for makeup, coral lip crayon and dark brown and peach eyeshadows to go with the top.

Disney Princess?

Alright, alright,- it's been so long that I've posted that my husband has been asking me to pull down my backdrop, what is also known as a sheet. I have so many outfits built up in photos, I'm not sure where to start, so here is a good one I wore last week even though someone told me I looked like a Disney Princess... 😡 Disney Princess? Maybe Into the Woods with this skirt. 

I had a riskier plan for this skirt- I was going to wear a black and white striped and lace tee with black and white shoes to pull the outfit together. That morning, I decided it would happen another day (some other Friday this summer). The skirt is wild enough on it's own, so I decided to match with it and I was pleased with the result. I wore a blue sleeveless top with, both, a black faux leather belt and pumps. The skirt only has some black in it, but wearing black accessories toned down the skirt and also made it look less artsy and more dressy. For jewelry, I kept with the floral theme in the skirt and wore black and yellow rose earrings and a matching black rose bracelet, along with a black head wrap. For makeup- yellow and black eyeshadows.
