Zip it up

This was earlier in the spring/summer when all we had was rain, hence ankle boots. But this outfit was planned around these black and white ponte pants, adorned with gold zipper pockets. I'll admit, these pants were too big so they won't get worn again even if they make me seem thinner. ;). With them, I wore a red sleeveless top and fuchsia blazer- love these colors together and way less boring than just matching black and white. The other inspiration behind this outfit was this gold zipper earring and necklace set, which I wore to match the pants. I added a black and white handbag with gold hardware to pull it all together. For makeup: black and gold shadows, white and black liners, and red lipstick.

Flag Day and Independence Day

These were Flag Day and Independence Day outfits. Red, white and blue combos. 

For both Holidays, I wore navy shadow with white and blue liners and red lipstick. One of my nieces was an inspo for the white liner- I didn't realize it was a thing again. So much, I had a really hard time finding some!

A Perfect Match

This is probably my most recent favorite outfit. I had bought this sleeveless, tie-dyed, open back blouse the weekend prior to wearing it. I had been eyeing it for a while and then got it for 20% off. But .. when I was pulling an outfit together with it, I remembered these tie-dyed stilleto pumps that.match.to.a.T!! I got these heels in the fall on clearance and hadn't worn them yet.

Okay, so I normally dislike wearing dark colors with pastels but it's what I had, so I wore black ankle pants and a black blazer. For jewelry, I wore an aqua beaded necklace and matching earrings with an aqua gemstone necklace and purple rose studs. For makeup: pastel yellow, purple and aqua shadows with blush lipstick.
