OOTD- Lucky Color Green





Baby toes!!!!

Did you have a great weekend? I have to say I did and this green was my lucky color because I became an aunt for the first time. This is one big title that I'm excited to take on. How can I not when it involves miniature toes and hands?

The weather was perfectly mild on Friday so I decided that now would be the one good day that wearing a blazer wouldn't cause me to melt in a puddle of perspiration outside. I was feeling color too, so I decided to pair it with sunshiney yellow shoes. I've probably only worn these shoes once before since purchasing last year. I love the idea of them, but find that such a statement shoe is hard to work with.  Do I tone down the intensity and if not, what's the best outfit to display such brightness? This is interesting considering I own a pair of yellow wedges. I think a whole shoe in the color versus a strappy sandal is really different.

What kind of outfit would you create to pair with these shoes (or any super bright shoe)?

Green blazer- Zara
Blue X tank- Forever 21 (available here)
Denim- Paige Premium (available here in petite)
Dog buckle belt- Topshop (similar here)

  8. I think of bright shoes as a pop of color and rarely create an outfit around them. Sometimes I'll pick up the same tone in a necklace or bracelet I'm wearing, but I love them for contrast or an unexpected little surprise at the bottom of my outfit. I never overthink the bright shoes. I know instantly when I put them on if they help or hurt ;)

    Yours are darling. You're good w/color. Don't overthink.
