Blue moon

I ordered this blue plaid, ruffly high-low dress this summer and I think it's so darn cute. I wore it once with nude chunky heel sandals and a shark canvas bag; and, another time, with camel western-adorned sandals and a blue, round rope handbag. With the nude heels, I wore silver and beige tassel earrings and with the camel western flats, I wore silver western dangly earrings. Both times- bright lipstick and barely there makeup.

Pink Cadillac


If I remember correctly, we were going to a car show this night, so I wore something where I could quickly change into shorts: a long, sheer, antique rose vest over a mock-neck cut-out mauve sleeveless top. For work, I wore this with a black pencil skirt and added a gold belt, sandals, and handbag. For makeup: blush lipstick and blush and black shadows. For jewelry: pink and gold acrylic hoops and a blush bangle.

After work, I swapped out the skirt for denim shorts and took off the belt.

Cold sushi

I think this was back in June- we went for sushi with some friends. I wore a cold-shoulder floral blouse with ankle jeans and beige buckle sandal heels.

For make-up: coral lip crayon and a metallic rose shadow.

Revival

My mom wore this brown floral button skirt in 1994 and somehow kept it all these years. So, she recently handed it down to me and I revived it with a mauve, lacy, mock-neck bib top and brown platform sandals. For make-up, I wore a mauve lipstick with brown and mauve shadows. For jewelry: brown wooden hoops (not shown) and a gold and wooden statement necklace.
