Sweeties,
Do you remember when I told you about my plans to tackle time management? Well about that. I had big plans to get on track this week and then life happened.
I got sick this weekend, and I’ve been out ever since. Thankfully, I’m coming back around. Being sick is for the birds. Plus, I have a bazillion things on my to do list this week. Starting with a meeting and a hair appointment on Thursday. YAAAAAS for the hair gawds. This appointment is long over due
Less about my life and more about this pretty in pink look.
How did I buy, not one, but two bubblegum pink pieces? I have no idea. I’m a girly, girl, but not one that loves pink. Seriously, my favorite color is black. So far away from popping pink. But somehow these two pink pieces stole my heart.
I bought this Romeo & Juliet Couture lace and crotchet dress from TJ Maxx in early spring. The midi length dress features a deep cut v-neckline and an open back. The dress came in pink and blue. I was so torn that I bought both. It looked so pretty on that I couldn’t leave it. Just to make sure this was the real deal and worth my coins, I face-timed my mama to get confirmation that yes, it was worth the nearly $40 price tag. You ladies should know by now that I like to keep it chic and cheap. In the end she was drooling, I was drooling. It was a go.
Now fast forward nearly six months and I’m finally getting a chance to take blog pictures in this cute number.
I decided to style the dress with a matching pink feather blazer. If you’re following Ooh La La Blog on my social media platforms, you’ve already heard me rave about my Gianni Bini feather blazer. I originally purchased the blazer in black and I went back and ordered it in this blush pink color. Of course, I caught the jacket on sale. A major sale.
The blazer and jacket are two stand alone pieces. Each will make its own statement, but together is another story. Granted, it’s kind of risky. Two bold pieces paired together, but it worked. Soooooo worth the risk.
I teamed my feathers and lace with Nasty Gal “On a Level” nude sandals. If I could get a do over, I think my nude patent leather ankle strap sandals would have been a better choice, instead of the triple strap sandals.
A light denim chain strap purse adorned with pink floral and gold appliqués finished this super girly look.
This look was so out of the norm for me, but so glad I got out of my comfort zone. Can’t wait to wear this look out.
