Ladylike Details: Crop Top & Midi Skirt

My husband and I were busy with spring cleaning and house renovations and barely had time to do anything else. Finally we got it done and I do not plan to do any cleaning for another six months (not really). You might remember this crop top from a previous post (Lilac). This time I styled it with a midi-skirt and nude pumps for a more classic and ladylike look. Also, rocking mix & match earrings, a cool new trend I adore. It is hard to see in the photo-but I wore a pearl earring on the right, and a diamond stud earring on the left. My favorite color is purple (any shade of purple) so I thought it would be nice to wear lipstick in a shade that accentuates my top. Playing around with my lipsticks, I came up with my own concoction of radiant orchid that I’m so in love right at the moment. In order to get this shade, I mixed Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Shame (80%) and Stila liquid lipstick in Petal (20%). My secret of saving cost on lipstick is to mix your own shades. Currently, I only own four (dark red, red, pink, orange and nude colors) but I am always wearing just the right color to accent any outfit ^_^

 

Lilac: Pastel Crop Top & Crisp Shirt

Happy Wednesday everyone! One of spring's biggest trends I adore is the crop top. Generally this look is reserved for people who have “That” attitude and an insanely great midriff …unfortunately I have neither. So I opted to layer my lace crop top over a button down shirt. I paired these tops with light wash jeans and sandals and accessorized them with a statement necklace for spring-like temperatures (then…of course it got windy and colder when we were trying to get these shots). Enjoy the rest of your week.
