Outfit Post

Hello There!

I hope you are all having a pleasant Thursday! Today I'm going to do an outfit post. I've never done one, but I just bought these AMAZING earrings from Jennifer Perkins at Naughty Secretary Club (for those of you who have not seen her blog, check it OUT! It's awesome) and I had to show them off!

I just took pictures of myself in the mirror, so it's no flashy photography or anything, so maybe I'll recruit Dave (my husband) for the next one. ;) Anyway, I thought I would use these earrings to do a little post on balance and color in an outfit.

First off, I don't follow "rules"... In fact, I kind of hate "rules." When I pick out my outfits I'm not thinking about what some magazine said, I'm thinking...do I feel confident in this, is it comfortable, and does it meet my own outfit expectations? I DO wear a lot of color and sometimes that can get crazy, so I try and pay attention to what colors I want to play up how I can balance the other colors involved. So let's get started!

These earrings are fantastic and they are very colorful. Yellow is the main color,  but it has a larger green accent. So, for my outfit I chose a bright green vintage dress I found for $16 in New Orleans, and a 1950s yellow cardigan I found at Village Discount for $2. I felt like the green balanced out the yellow nicely.

Like i said...no fancy photos here.

As for accessories....other than the earrings of course, I chose a yellow bow headband and a leopard print bag and shoes. The shoes are pictured below! I got them from Pin Up Girl Clothing, but I did have to buy one size up, but the 11s fit great.

When I'm wearing an outfit with a lot of color, I feel much more vibrant and confident. When you're picking out an outfit, make sure you're wearing something that makes YOU feel vibrant, comfortable, and confident no matter what it is. :)

Dave played along too ;)
