SHADES OF PINK

SPRING HAS SPRUNG! OF COURSE WE'RE ALL GASED UP OF IT BEING HERE! READY TO PUT THE HEAVY COATS AWAY AND EXCHANGE THE BORING WINTER COLORS FOR THE PASTELS AND BRIGHT PALETTES. 

AROUND EVERY SEASON, I GRAB ONE OF MY FAVE MAGAZINE "StyleWatch" TO HELP ME PREP FOR A STYLISH WARDROBE FOR MY SEASONAL CLOSET. CAME ACROSS THE MARCH ISSUE IN SEEN THE FRONT COVER

NEVER WAS TOO MUCH OF AN ALL BLUSH PINK PERSON, BUT THEN I REALIZE WHAT A GREAT MONOCHROME COMBINATION OF PINK TO WEAR. VERY SOFT, FEMININE AND SOPHISTICATED  IT ALL CAME TOGETHER IN A WARDROBE.

*SHADES OF PINK CAN BE WORN SUPER SWEET WITH GIRLY SILHOUETTES AND NEUTRAL OR A POP OF COLOR SHOES AND ACCESSORIES.

...OR WORN AS AN UPTOWN STREET CHIC LOOK, BY ADDING DARKER TONE COLORS ACCESSORIES AND PAIRING STREET CONCEPT WITH THE MONOCHROME COLOR(Denim Jacket, Moto Leather Jacket, Wearing Sneakers instead of Heels)

HERE'S TWO WAYS I WORE THE FEMININE AND SOFT PALETTE:

Uptown Chic:

Layered Blush color Bustier with white Button-Up with Sleek Blazer vest and Pewter Pumps.

*Paired with Darker bag

Outfit Details: White Button-Up- Ann Taylor; Bustier-Forever21; Pant-H&M; Pumps-Steve Madden; Vest and Bag-Forever21; Sunnies-Anthropologie 

Savvy Street Chic:

Wore Satin Wide-Leg pants with layering Detailed Dress and Coral color Duster.

*Paired with Darker Bag to for slight edgy finish.

Outfit Details: Coral Duster-Anthropologie; Dress-H&M; Satin Pants-Forever21; Sunnies-Forever21; Coin Purse-H&M

SLIP-ON TO SOMETHING COMFORTABLE

NORMALLY ON MY OFF DAYS FROM WORK I TURN IN MY WORK PUMPS FOR MY COMFORTABLE SNEAKERS(Chucks or Nikes)

AND READY TO START MY ERRAND RUNS. THIS TIME I SUBSTITUTE MY GO-TO KICKS FOR AN EASY SLIP-ON CASUAL SHOE. THESE SHOES ARE HASSEL FREE WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO RUSH OUT THE HOUSE TO GET A HEAD START OF BEING ON MY FEET ALL DAY GOING TO MISCELLANEOUS STOPS.

THIS REMINDS ME OF THE TIME WHEN WE WERE KIDS AND OUR PARENTS WOULD SAY, "TIE YOUR SHOE SO YOU WON'T TRIP OVER YOUR LACES!" OR WHEN VELCOUR SNEAKERS TOOK OVER THE LACING PROCESS FOR AN EXCHANGE. NOW PUTTING ON YOUR CASUAL STYLED SNEAKERS ARE MUCH MORE EASIER AND MORE IN TREND THEN BEFORE. VERY RESOURCEFUL FOR THE CONSISTENTLY ON-THE-GO MOM, LESS TACTICS FOR THE DAILY LACING. 

SAM EDELMAN "Circus Collection"

MAKES IT MORE FUN TO WEAR SLIP-ON SNEAKERS TO SHOW MORE OF A FASHIONABLE ERA AND A SINCE OF CHARACTER IN EACH STEP! HE IS KNOWN FOR ADDING A LITTLE FLARE IN EVERY SHOE AND LEAVING A FASHION TRAIL SORT OF SPEAK....BEHIND EVERY WALK! 

SURE SLIP-ON SNEAKERS HAS BEEN TRENDING FOR FEW YEARS, BUT NOW IN MORE FRUITFUL COLORS, PRINT, TEXTURE AND STYLE!

SLIP ON TO SOMETHING COMFORTABLE AND GET YOUR DAY STARTED!
