Stealing Clothes + New (Old) Hair

Blouse – Goodwill, Pants – Asos, Shoes – GoJane.com
Necklace – Archives Chicaco, Sunnies – GiantVintage.com

I totally stole this outfit from Elaine of Clothed Much. No I didn’t. She stole it from me…………. Ok fine she didn’t. We were both inspired by two completely independent sources and came up with nearly the same thing! That’s part of the reason we’re BFFs…

I saw a pink/orange combo in a BCBG catalog (page 3-4), and when I stumbled on this pink top at the Goodwill I thought I could recreate something like it. I searched high and low for an orange pencil skirt and didn’t find one, so I decided to look for orange pants. I found these on sale at Asos and decided to give them a shot.

Since the outfit is so incredibly bright (which I love, and hot pink and orange are two of my favorite colors!), I decided to wear lipliner so that my face didn’t get completely washed out. I used Milani Lip Pencil in Simply Natural, with MAC Lip Glass in Nice Buzz.

I decided to go sans earrings but to wear my gold necklace from Archives Chicago. It picks up the gold from my shoes and broke up the solid pink a bit for the blouse.

I’ve worn this hairstyle a lot IRL, but this is it’s debut on the blog. This is how it looks when I shampoo, condition, finger comb and air dry. This time I added some Eco Styler gel to hold the coils in place. I might keep it like this for a little while…

PS, I’ve started taking my own photos in public places as many bloggers do. Turns out I’m really good at it, it’s like a gift I never knew I had:

Incredible right???
