shoes: cato brand. jeans & shirt: old navy. (Amendment: Crap. It's actually Downeast Outfitters. Sorry.) belt: forever21. bracelet: hawaii. flower clips: gift.
I don't usually style my tops to be poofier in the stomach area, mainly because I'm blessed with enough natural, ah, "poof" that I don't need/want to build upon it. It'd be like pouring extra sugar into those fun-dip packets, or putting marshmallows into already sugary cereal. Like, who would DO that, right? (*blush* ehhh...me, I guess. Poof-ified the stomach and fed my kids lucky charms for breakfast. Two for two. Awesome.)
Dah well. Inspired by E., I decided to flounce it up a bit today. But I wanted to keep myself from floating off (into the great white yonder), so I maintained a very structured leg-line. Add my favorite crochet-peeptoe-wedges (a trifecta of yumminess, if you ask me), a side braid with a hint of hippie in the flower pins, and a turquoise bracelet for contrast.
I wasn't sure about the bracelet, to be honest. The shirt is bold enough, I don't know if a contrast was actually necessary. But red + turquoise just happens to be one of my favorite color combos, so I ran with it today. Which would be awesome if I did, in fact, run. With anything, anywhere. Unfortunately, the closest thing I've done to that these past few months has been to plod to the cupboard for a cadbury mini egg or eight. (Whereupon, I stop and gasp for about an hour to restock ye ol' oxygen supply... C'mon, spring. This girl needs to exercise!)
Happy Monday.

Seriously, it's a gorgeous pairing. I'm glad you included the bracelet. As for the hippie thing: I'm grateful that we live in a world where I can be a hippie at heart and still REALLY enjoy deodorant, pretty clothes, and a nice mattress. It's a beautiful time to be alive. Channel that inner hippie, lady!
I love red + turquoise. And polka dots.
cuuute! you look so happy!
polka dots are my fave. i would have guessed this top was vintage but old navy? sweet!

Ditto Carie. I love that polka dot blouse and would love to have it! You hair looks adorable. Turquoise and red = great combination.
I love the turquoise and red together. And your blouse is so cute! Girl, you don't seem to have ANY natural poof, thank you very much.
I am seriously amazed at the versatility of turquoise. That color goes with EVERYTHING! Love the blouse today, too :)

Turquoise and red is one my favorites as well! And that top is darling! Then again, I can't resist anything with polka dots. ;)
That bracelet is a must with that red. The combo is perfect!!
And I didn't know the natural pouch was a blessing. I've been doubly blessed, I guess ;)

Born To Be Styled
great classic colours (and does it get more classic than blue denim and a red polka dot blouse?) and I love the side braid!!!
did you go shoe shopping? cute shoes.
I like red and turquoise too. I wore red pants and turquoise bracelets once and someone cringed like they didn't go. I'm glad I finally see someone else in the combo so now I won't be afraid to wear mine.
