Sequins and Denim

I wore this outfit stomping around downtown LA with my TWTGG’s partner in crime Mel. I love mixing textures and adding some daytime sparkle to glam things up! (Oh and I flat ironed my hair with that GHD straightner I told you about here.)

Color Swap Part 2

I showed you here my adventures in leather dye. After having success with the bags I decided to do shoes and a few clutches that I rarely if ever use.

This clutch is synthetic leather. It was a metallic gold I got at Forever21 years ago. I haven’t used it in probably 5 years. Because it’s synthetic it takes MANY coats (and hours) to get it right (but this teal is so worth it don’t you think?!) I’ve already used it twice!

This is a vintage leather clutch I got several years ago on ebay. I’ve used it here here and here but it’s been awhile so I decided it needed a brighter pink face lift for spring.

These shoes I got at an auction last year. I’ve never worn them because to me they looked like stripper shoes (The reason I have them is there were two other pair that were with them that I had to have.) I figured with a bright girly color change they could be more glam, less stripper. Mission accomplished!

These leather ballet flats are by Clarks. I am not usually fond their styles but I have a friend who works for them and they have a fantastic built in support system that’s great if you have back issues and are on your feet a lot. I mostly got them to stomp around Europe but I was really over them. So I thought a serious color swap could change everything. Boy was I right. I am in love!!

 

 

 

For some reason I can’t find the before pic on these but they are also from Clarks and the leather was a Metallic silver color. I am absolutely loving them this fun bright pink!

This project was so fun and saved me a ton on buying new spring shoes and bags! I will be wearing them in future outfit posts so stay tuned! :)

Color Please

I am obsessed with the bright colors for spring. The problem with this is my closet is full of neutrals. I have been trying to make a conscious effort to wear color and this shoot I did for The Wear to go Girls a little while ago is a good example. If you have been following us then you have probably seen this outfit before but I never posted these particular pics. As you can see it was a particularly gray day which is the perfect time to brighten things up! :)

Girlfriend Therapy

Back from my girls getaway! Whew! What a crazy few days! Cocktails poolside, the spa, dancing the night away and most importantly lots of laughs…so therapeutic!

Now that my head is clear, the cloudy stress is washed away (for the moment) it’s time to get organized and back on track. Lucky for me it’s Friday which buys me a few more days! Right now I am guzzling major coffee and tackling my mile long to do list!

Have a great weekend!
