Butterflies & Literature

Friday, April 12, 2019




          Hello, fashionistas!  I know many brands are embracing the neutral hues, pastels, and rolling out beautiful white pieces for spring and summer, but this gal is embracing the piercing bright colors.  I saw these striking magenta velvet pants at T.J. Maxx and I instantly became inspired to put together this fun colorful outfit complete with emerald, lemon, and purple accessories.  I just kinda went for it and I love the way it turned out!


           As I've mentioned before on my blog, I love pairing hot pink with lime green.  It's a color combo that always puts a smile on my face.  Not to be cliche, but I decided to pair these bright raspberry pants with a neon green sweater.  Everyone could definitely see me loud and clear from miles away!  


          Besides the neon green and magenta, I added a yellow accented chain belt and amethyst bracelets into the mix.  This look is like a big melting pot of colors, but with a dash of sparkle!  To complement my silver accessories, I wore an equally show-stopping vintage-inspired beaded bag.  



          And no outfit of mine would be complete without a pair of heels.  For this ootd, I went for a pair of elegant velvet Manolo Blahnik heels.  I've been keeping this pair hostage in the box since I purchased them to keep them pristine, but I finally decided to take them out for a spin!


         Last but not least, I popped on a pair of statement earrings and slipped on a pair of silver shades.  I also carried one of my favorite motivational books, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, because reading is chic.  Personally, I love it because it's not your typical self-help book and I really love the author's voice and anecdotes.  And who knew it would match the butterfly background so perfectly?  
         Well, I hope you enjoyed reading this post!  If not, I hope you walk away with a new book to add to your list of books to read.  Trust me, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is a great one that you're not gonna wanna miss.  As always, I am sending you lots of love from my heart to yours!

  1. Questionable name of that book aside... this is a most interesting outfit, especially because of the color combination. I wouldn't know of any fashionista pairing a neon sweater with velvet pants and also some velvet pumps. You somehow bring it all together with truly chic looks. So great job styling here!
