Pink on Pink








 entire rig (oldie but goodie, J.Crew--love the idea of pairing THESE with THIS POPOVER for a good print mix), watch (Cartier), cuff (unknown), ring (Lagos), bag (Furla, SPLURGE vs  STEAL), shades (Ray Ban)
This preppy & polished rig is the result of a successful attempt at utilizing what is already in my closet! I have had all of these pieces in my arsenal for a few years now but they definitely felt refreshed when doing a little monochrome print mix (hard to tell, but blouse has a slight pink pinstripe).  Because the all over pink could get a little pop tart, I wanted to make sure the look stayed classic by doing a crisp tucked in blouse, belt, flat sandals and a gold cuff to finish her off.  Just another lesson for us all (especially myself) to creatively work with what we already have....if only I could consistently practice what I preach!
Switching topics, I get asked quite a bit about my hair.  Who cuts it (Shawnee at Voce on Clay--LOVE ), what color do I use, how do I style it, etc.  With that in mind, I wanted to share a product I've been using here as of late that I'm just loving!  The Marco Anti-Frizz Leave in Conditioner with Collagen Color Guard has been my hair savior.  As my hair is getting longer, the months warmer, and my color blonder--my mop top can start to get a little dried out.  This goodness has been protecting the hell outta it and doing my locks just right.  Not to mention Marco himself is such a doll and a majorly talented color connoisseur (trying to justify in my mind taking a trip to LA to have him get a hold of my locks).  I know we're always looking for an easy solution whether it be for dried hair or skin, and this stuff is a goodin'. Alright guys, make it a good one & enjoy your weekend!

Prepster



blouse (Jcrew) jean (Jcrew sold out, inexpensive option HERE or solid option HERE), sweater (GAP),  clutch (Treesje old, super affordable option HERE),  belt (super old school GUCCI), pearls (Target), bracelet & watch (Jcrew), shades (Gucci), flats (VIA SPIGA old)
May we discuss a couple of facts occurring in this Rig?  
1.  many pieces have been in the closet for quite some time=closet remix=cost effective!
2.  in my humble opinion, I believe Navy to be one of the best and most versatile bang for your buck shades
(what other color anchors pink, green, and yellow all at the same time)?
3.  Definitely yesterday's news; however, get your hind to Target and raid their jewelry...these are just 3 measly pearl strands, that when combined, make a bit of a statement..and the best part...$11 smacks/strand!  I ransacked their jewelry and found if you double or triple up one piece...it's a goodin!
Needless to say, my wallet and my husband both are huge fans of this particular post!  Remember, just because it isn't new, doesn't mean we can't make it current!
