Pink, Orange & Pinkish-Orange

My skirt is orange.  It looks red in these pictures:

But, I swear, it's orange.



See?

Orange.



Although... that photo is a little misleading as well.  Because the skirt is not a true orange, it's a sort of reddish-orange, much like my shoes are a pinkish-orange:

Or, you know, coral.  Whatever.

Sweater: Nordstrom  Skirt: Ann Taylor (also similar)
Shoes: Lollipops (similar coral, sadly not studded)

You can call these colors whatever you'd like; I call them well-paired.



Happy Monday, All!

Nubby Studs

Last time I wore this skirt, I wore it with chambray.  This time around, I went with blush:

Given that the eyelet is sort of sweet:

And so is the trim on the skirt, I figured I'd toughen up the look with the addition of nubby orange studs:

Because nothing says tough like nubby studs:

Skirt: thrifted (similar)  Blouse: Banana Republic  Sandals: Lollipops via yoox.com

Happy Friday, All!

P.S. Nubby Studs is probably going to be my new band name.  I have no idea what we'll sing about!

Stripes and Studs

Based on the title of this post, you're probably expecting something cool and a little bit rock n' roll.  Something like this:

For those of you who thought that might be what you're getting, let me welcome you new readers to the blog.  Because if you've read me before, you know that my thighs would use those pre-made tunnels to escape those jeans and try to take over the world.


And you'd know that my version of stripes and studs is neither cool nor rock n' roll, but rather, candy-colored and cheery:

Dress: thrifted, vintage   Shoes: Lollipops via yoox

Because when I buy studs, they're on orange suede sandals:

And then I pair them with the happiest stripes I can my hands on:

Happy stripes, folks.  That's where it's at:

And happy Monday's, of course!
