My City in Color

Unfortunately it is time to face reality: summer is ending. But while it lasts, I'm going to wear bright colors.  For this look I wanted to create an assortment of color, without overdoing it. The key to this look was femininity. I chose a soft turquoise skirt with an ombre fade, and paired it with a floral headpiece and pink lipstick. What's more girly than that? For a little bit of edge I added neon heels and a leopard print bra to show through under the sheer black shirt. It is a little dangerous to pair a sheer skirt with a sheer shirt, but the look I wanted was soft and sweet.

Look of the Day: Sheath Dress with a Collared Shirt

Inspiration:

This was an image on the banner of paperlime.com which I thought was such a cute way to transform a more formal/cocktail dress into a dress to wear to work, or in cooler weather.

Xpression:

For my look I decided to keep it simple with black and white and added pops of color. The dress I chose wasn't a conventional sheath dress, but a cute variation with a ruffled skirt. I chose neon yellow ballet flats, which are comfy for the office, and added purple earrings for more color (but you can't see them, because of my mega-black hair).
