blouse: Marshalls (similar & here too). shorts: made ’em (soon to be up on Shop The Closet – stay tuned!). shoes: Vans. purse: Forever 21. arm candy: Lauren Elan, H&M, Michael Kors. nails: Essie “Exposure”.
I’ve been obsessing over polka dots lately. I spotted (heh, no pun intened) this blouse at Marshalls when on a break at work and HAD TO HAVE IT. It’s got a hi-low hem and romantic sleeves. Versatile to wear with colored trousers and heels or with distressed shorts and sneaks. My kind of top.

Have you ever seen Anchorman (ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES EVER)? This picture instantly made me quote the movie. ha! If you haven’t seen it. Go watch it. Now.

bag: Forever 21 Men (old – similar here). shoes: Zara (back in stock…YAY!). pants: H&M (similar – love this color!). top: Forever 21 (I just bought a bunch of these!). headband: Forever 21. nails: Exposure by Essie & toes: Lapis of Luxury by Essie. lipstick: CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in Spellbound #325. watch: Michel Kors. arm candy: varied – Lauren Elan, H&M, David Yurman.
I’ve been all about basics lately with my crazy schedule, but I’ve managed to spruce them up a bit with patterns and heels. Like I mentioned in the sneaky peeky post, it’s my first time experimenting with turban inspired headbands and I must say I was quite amused. I actually went back to F21 and bought two more. It’s the impulsive shopper in me. (I mean, you can’t really pass them up at less than 5 bucks right?).

Coming out of the Easter weekend where everyone is dressed in pastels, linen, and bright colors… I’ve decided to do this week a little differently.
Today I’m wearing an oatmeal colored tee from Zara (similar here), zipper-at-the-ankle-jeans from H&M (similar here), and Zara heels. The bracelet is from Forever 21, but really old. (I found this really cool one at ASOS for you.)
I would call this look the Pastel Rebellion? The pants of wax? It’s a little bit Ashley and a little bit of Rock-n-Roll? Or I could just call it “Leather & Neon.” hence the already given title to the post. Whatever it is, it doesn’t change that I love everything about this outfit. The detailing of the gold zippers, combined with the neon and snake prints south of my ankles, plus the tee shirt that looks plain Jane until you see my shoulders (and you’re like WOAH! Leather accents!!!)- it all falls together just right.
side note: that was my reaction when I found it, so I’m guessing it might be yours too… *wishful thinking*
This is me, side noting once again: My boyfriend Adrian tagged along with me in this shoot (He’ll say I made him… which he could be right, but I’m not telling). He couldn’t resist being behind the camera, so when we were finished, he jumped right in and played the “suave, macho man” part. Not too shabby. I laughed so much with this collage that Janelle put together!
