Hello Everyone — it’s almost Friday!! 🙂
For some reason this week has just dragged on … and on … and on … I’m so ready for a break – and hopefully the weather will cooperate. We’re taking off for California late next week for the week of the 4th, and I have a lot to accomplish this weekend to get ready! But, I am hoping to spend a little time relaxing – a rooftop bar for wine sounds fabulous!
I’ve been excited to wear this top out and about, and this weekend, it’s happening! I fell in love when I saw it, and it was under $20! Seriously. The best part – it’s really quite versatile. It may be difficult to tell from the pics, but the white straps have long ribbon-like ties, so you can let them just drape down your shoulders like I did here, or tie them in bows like the model in the picture below!
I was going for a more elegant, streamlined look, so I let them fall. The tied look is a bit more flirty – and would look amazing with some distressed jeans or cutoffs. I paired mine with high-waisted, tie-waist trousers and red suede pumps for a color pop. I love the look of high-waisted pants with a cropped top, it creates a long, lean silhouette, and really flatters women of all shapes and sizes. Add heels and the effect is stunning.
Since I made a statement with my heels, I keep the rest of my accessories simple: gold oblong hoop earrings, a black leather wrap bracelet, sleek black clutch, and black brow-bar sunnies.
Is it just me, or is there something about head-to-toe black that just makes you feel amazing!? It’s elegant and powerful.
I tend to keep my make-up simple and classic generally, and here was no exception. I love a nude, or slightly pink lip, but for those of you who want to make a bigger statement, a bright red lip would look fabulous!
So what’s your knock em’ dead go-to look? Send me a note, I’d love to hear from you!
yours, Kristin
