WIW: Pink Lips

June 5, 2015

Happy Friday :) It has been an extremely busy week for me and yet somehow, getting back into posting and chatting on the forum has made me feel more grounded - who knew!

Today's outfit started with my new peasant-boho style blouse in dark navy with a bright pink lipstick print. I love the shape of this blouse and the whimsical print and think it pairs perfectly with dark denim - hence my choice of of my dark wash slim fit jeans for pairing. I've rolled the jeans twice to show some ankle and popped on my nude peep toe sandals - love these things!

Accessories include my bright pink vintage Bakelite bangle, vintage navy Coach handbag and my purple/clear specs. Oh yeah…and a swipe of bright pink lipstick of my own :)

What do you think? Does it all work together? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Blouse: Style & Co
Jeans: Wit & Wisdom
Shoes: Steve Madden
Handbag: Coach
Bangle: vintage

    Beautiful and stylish! Shannon, you have the best tops - always the perfect amount of drape and length. Do you have a handful of retailers where you shop for tops or do you "leave no retail stone unturned"?

    Adorable as always Shannon!

    Love this look on you . Really love the top.I have trouble pulling the smart casual look, I always feel as though it looks like I was trying too hard.

    Kerry - oh, definitely leave no retail stone unturned! But I do require my tops to be petite as I have very narrow shoulders, am short waisted and have short arms. Regular tops are almost always too long for me.

    Gail - isn't the smart casual look for casual Fridays at work confusing? I always want to make sure I don't veer into too casual a look.

    Thanks for the lovely comments ladies - I have had a few positive comments on the blouse at work today too.

    Shannon I am in LOVE with lipstick prints. This is so cute and not too nuts because of the dark background. I bought a lipstick print scarf at Target for kicks until I find the right blouse. Of course your pink lipstick is perfect for all the love goin on in the top....

I started playing dress up when I was 4 years old and haven't stopped since! My income doesn't match my tastes so it's all about figuring out how to thrift my way to a fashionable life while tossing in a few delectable items.
