Kelly Green and Coral

March 18, 2011





{Black Pants ~ Forever 21 Plus / Kelly Green Satin Top ~ Simply Vera Wang / Coral Linen Blazer ~ Vintage.Thrifted / Lace-up Heels ~ Mossimo via Target / Gold Stretch Belt ~ Vintage.Thrifted / Black Speedy Paris Cube ~ LV / Black and Gold Crystal Watch ~ Kathy Van Zeeland} 

Of course I had to wear green on St. Patrick's Day. ;)

I love this top, as soon as I went into my closet to grab something to put on, this caught my eye.  Pairing it with this bright coral blazer was a no-brainer.  The color blocking trend is really hot right now and I was excited to try it!

These heels from Target are so cute, but insanely painful to wear. ...until I snipped the stitches in the {at first, nonadjustable} lacing, pulled them apart and adjusted how tight they were. Aaaah. So much better!  

I have been sufffering lately in the footwear department. Ouch! ...but cute shoes are a must and I don't mind the sacrifice. These are just too adorable not to wear, and I also plan to lace these babies with a thick ivory and/or black satin ribbon.  Yes! ;)


xoxo, thanks for reading and have a fantastic weekend!

    Cute, cute, cute! I am really inspired by the color combo. I am really trying to come out of so much black and add more color to my wardrobe.
