LFW's Casual Angel.

This lil fashion angel from London Fashion Week is such a lovely sight! She's the reason why I wore what I did this very day. When inspiration hits me, it's not necessarily my goal to try and recreate a replica of the outfit that sparked the epiphany, but moreso, to try and embrace the moment of AHA!ness and make it work with my current mood, energy and clothes.

Here's my take:

=

Sunglasses, Steve Madden

Necklace, Erica Bowman

Rings, from a Berkeley street vendor

Top, from Nordstroms

Dress / Skirt, from a boutique in Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Shoes, GoMax from Ambiance

Today's Special: Striped Top + Pleated Gray Skirt

For the most part, I tend to go matchy matchy with my outfits. If I'm rockin blue and / or gray - I generally stick to black shoes and silver jewelry. Booooorrrrriiiiinnnngg - I know, I know. So this time I thought to myself, what can I do to funk up my look a little. Something out of my typical color palette ... AHA! Let's do the opposite - brown wedges and a large gold chunky chain. Wait a second - let's add one more pop of color - a multi-strand piece of jewelry featuring a metallic teal-ish flower. For my hair, I decided to leave it as is when I first tied it back to wash my hair this morning (Lazy? Yes. Cute? Yes! Clearly a winning combo in my book). And last but not least, a little pink glitter liner just because I can. 

Lemonhead anyone?

Lights, camera, necklaces!

Lemonhead face still going strong...
