mixing my inner girly girl with a little edge


dress: gifted (from France) // jacket: Forever21 // watch: MK // earrings: gifted // lips: MAC "current" liner


I totally stepped out of the box with these photos/outfit today, still doing a little double take at myself. I am not sure if this is a nailed it outfit but here's what inspired me to take the risk. I chose to pair a feminine dress with a more edgy jacket and lip color because I feel pairing contrasting styles together  gets a unique look. As much as I love lace + pink + flowers looking like a 12 year old is not really cutting it for me at the age of 27. By mixing a little edge to my style allows me to still keep my inner girly girl while appearing to look like a woman. 

On side note, it is becoming spring which means a golden glow is needed all over the bod... im not suggesting sun tanning I am suggesting sun-LESS tanning. I better pull out those bottles + get to work these legs are almost blinding in these post! Happy Hump Day loves!

I think you nailed it! And BRAVO for stepping outside your comfort zone. We all need a little mix up every once in a while.
