red and green

I'm normally not one to mix red and green. The combo often feels a bit "holiday-y." But these sneakers have me searching for new ways to mix and match red, so I gave this olive green jacket a go! The slightly brick red against the more subdued green (tempered by deep browns and black) made for a harmonious little blend.

And did you notice my new finger bling?! Just one of the gorgeous new pieces the lovely ladies at Just SVARA sent over. It's amazing what a big statement just one ring can make!

I love a little bright mix. It wakes things up a bit on those mornings when class starts at 8AM!

I am beyond obsessed with these booties. I picked them up for only $15! By far the craziest, least-expensive-but-most-expensive-looking things I own. Props to the peeps at Payless!

on deck

Not going to lie, I popped this outfit on and out the door I went. It wasn't until I caught my reflection later that I realized I looked like.. a lifeguard. No? I see lifeguard. Sure the leopard belt throws it off a bit, but red, white, blue, stripes, aviators.. throw a little zinc oxide on my nose and I'm poolside-ready! But I must say, nothing beats a good old jeans-and-tee combo, whatever the colors.

Are we digging the blue shoes with the red jeans?

When the opportunity presents itself, mix brights. Every time. I saw this sweater on Gap.com and rushed to pick it up. It's the perfect little zing of color, and begged to be worn with my electric blue skinnies! I would've topped it off with a pink blazer if I could've - but I guess we'll save that for Spring..

on the prowl

I'm not going to lie. I felt a little "streetwalker" with the red-and-leopard combo, not to mention the studded gloves. I guess that's what happens when you grow up loving the movie "Pretty Woman!" Good thing is, anyone who knows me could vouch for the fact that I am most definitely not a streetwalker and am in fact much more of a nerd. That's the fun of dressing up - it certainly can transform you!

I can only release my inner Vivian on the weekends..I don't think she would fly with the law school folk.

Ample sunshine this weekend left me with more time to break in my new sunnies. This time I completed the '60s superhero look with the infamous booties, which, I might add, have become infinitely easier to walk in!
Seriously - lovey even made me shoot some hoops in them. In this exact outfit.
There's a video for proof..but we'll save that for another day.

Never underestimate the power of eBay. When I originally saw these sunnies, I rushed to 80's Purple only to find out they were sold out in tortoise. Before I sprang for the virtually identical Alexander Wang pair (something I may had done had Christmas not induced an Alexander Wang overdose), I made a quick stop at eBay and
poof! Tortoise. For $10.

I may be somewhat of a superhero after all..

electric feel

Survived test #1! No time for celebration, though, because test #2 starts in less than 24 hours.
What we can celebrate is my new jeans! And the fact that I will no longer have to eye Sally's...

I'm thinking I've found a new favorite color combination in this outfit
..and a new favorite hat in Mommy's closet!

j'aime mon carré

Favorite color combination as of yesterday: blue chambray and crimson.
Thanks to my new jeans, I was able to introduce the two to one other.
Ah, young love!

I decided to swap a necklace for the scarf.
There's something so feminine and princess-y about a silk scarf draped around the neck.
Try it, I guarantee you'll feel prettier! :)
