When I was looking over these shots it took me a minute to figure out what was just a little off. The outfit was fine. Both pairs of sandals worked and the jewelry was good. The hair didn’t look like it belonged on Medusa. What was it…hmmm? Lip color my friends. Plain and simple. I hadn’t put on any lip color. Who knew what a huge difference that would make? Typically I stay somewhere in the pink range; anywhere from light pink to fuchsia, with the occasional stroll on the dark side. Ya, I’m wild like that. But often when I’m just going to get groceries or run errands I’ll just slap on some Chapstick and call it a day, which was the case here. Um, perhaps I might want to rethink that strategy on my next foray into running errands. I guess I never realized my lips blended to the point of looking monochrome zombie-esque.
Although this is a pretty basic look, the pink tee shirt is what made it special. I just recently discovered it at Old Navy and it’s that just right combo of light without being sheer and drapey without looking like I’m wearing a feed sack. I picked one up in olive green too since I liked it so much. The Birks are what I wore on the actual grocery run; and yes, these are my first official pair of the genuine article. I view these as my summer Bearpaws…worth the investment because I will pretty much wear them every day. I threw in the leopard wedges just to show you how easy it is to get this simple look ready to go out to dinner. Both pieces of jewelry are my latest from Rocksbox. I have to say that I really loved everything in this box. The druzy necklace is delicate yet sparkly, and the bracelet? I’m in love. The delicate fishbone design is so cool and it moves well on my arm. If it weren’t so pricey I’d most definitely buy it, but alas, it’s a hair out of my price range. Isn’t that just my luck? The bracelet in my last box was affordable and cute, but not a keeper. And don’t forget…if you’d like to try Rocksbox for a month, it’s absolutely free if you use “fashionfairydustxoxo” at checkout!
