Sneaks

I sprained my ankle a couple weeks ago, so I've been in sneakers and flats since. This is actually vaccination day, which was cold and rainy. I wore these mint green old school Adidas sneakers, which I love, with high-waist skinny jeans and a mint green and grey striped racer-back tank. Then, I couldn't decide between which grey long-sleeved cardigan I wanted to wear, so I wore both! At first, I rolled my hair up into a head wrap and remembered that I could wear my grey Kangol. For (other) accessories, I wore mint stud earrings and a mint statement necklace. For makeup: mint and charcoal shadows with a charcoal liner and fucsia lipstick. For a handbag, I used a grey reversible Dickie's canvas.

I wanted to wear this ruffly marigold sweatshirt today, but it's cold and rainy so couldn't wear matching flats. Instead, I wore my Wu-Tang socks with Docs and even used my special edition Wu lipstick and added marigold and black shadows.  From there, I decided to wear a (killer) bee ring with yellow and black rose studs and a marigold headband.

What's black and white with "read" all over?

A newspaper. 

A week ago, it wasn't snowing-- it was actually nice out like a normal spring day. I wore red tapered ankle pants with a fuchsia blazer, and a black and white striped blouse. To pull the black and white together, I used a black and white colorblock handbag. For shoes, I wore black pointy stilettos, adorned with shiny copper tips. I kept with the same color jewelry- dangly earrings and an arrow wrap ring. 

For makeup: copper and black shadows and red lipstick (I was tossed up between fuchsia and red, but the red against the fuchsia blazer brought the colors together with the pants.

Grey matter

It's that time of year to pull out the things I didn't wear this past winter. This brown and charcoal color-block moto-zip blazer is so cute and can be worn for work or for play. Here, I wore it to work with a brown pencil skirt, charcoal tights and matching ankle boots. For hair: a high pony; for makeup: brown shadow, charcoal eyeliner and a fuschia lipstick. For jewelry, I wore mixed metal danglies.
