Outfit: Pink, White, Blue....and Black

Life has been a bit crazed lately, jumping from one environment to another, trying to start in on my taxes, (I am a freelancer so the paperwork can be a bit daunting at this time of the year!), trying to establish both my professional and personal goals for 2010, and finding real ways to execute them.

Anyhow, I was discussing with a friend about how I love the combination of black and navy, even though they technically "clash". I tend to dress a bit plain, but I still love to experiment with lipsticks, here is a bit of neon pink for the Monday afternoon :)

  12. I like how you've been able to take items like shorts with tights and a funky bracelet and make them look so polished and professional. Beautiful!

    Thanks for your comments on the old pictures - it was fun to look back at what I used to wear back in the day even if I NEVER want to revisit those trends!

  32. You look so fresh faced and gorgeous. I love that bubblegum pink lipstick!

    Oh, and black and navy rock together! :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm with you! I was on board with black and navy before black and brown were acceptable. Hmmmm, are they acceptable, or is that just in my own head?? Either way, LOVE the lipstick...wish I could pull that off but my blond hair won't allow it. At least not without looking like some antiquated version of Malibu Barbi. Blargh is right.

  61. I think very few people can pull off a lipstick that color... and you are one of them.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Wow, I love it!!
    I wish I were bold enough to try such a vibrant color on my asian lips!! Maybe someday...:)

    ReplyDelete
  63. Oh I just KNOW what you're talking about!! I'm a freelancer (and a student at once) and I hate doing paperwork and filling in form and taxes period is the most daunting time of a year for me! But keep it up, it's all worthwile in the end! :)
    And as to the combination.. it's perfect! Sometimes when I'm out of the mood i wear osmehting 'neutral' with bright pink lipstick and people just are like 'what the heck...' but it doesnt matter, because it's all about how fun and bubbly you feel! I really like it!
    Thank you for visiting my blog, I get so excited about every comment and visitor :)

  65. I so didn't notice any cross-eye-ness in this photo, chick! After I read about you mentioning I had to look a again... And I think I know what you might be reffering to as such - it's just a photo effect, it happens. I love the picture! And I adore this lip color on you, not many can pull it off! And I like how it works with this outfit - adds such a nice gentle feminine touch :) I looked through your older posts too, and I need to say I like your style, so office perfect yet not boring at all. Loved the Tods helmets too! It was a cute post :)

    P.S. As for the Barcelona chair, thanks for sharign your story! Made me smile imagining this lady boss of yours being so intimidating and all :)

  71. Why does black & white technically clash? it's such a classic combo! I LOVE that neon pink lipstick.

    ReplyDelete
  72. i can never pull off the pink lippie! it just looks so outta place on my face, haha.

    p/s: thank you so much for your comments on my blog, they're so sweet :)

    ReplyDelete
  73. okay LOVE that lipstick, even tho you already heard it 100 times before- i think it ties that whole outfit together.

    And I think it's so awesome that you're a freelancer and going after what you love. So many people settle for a desk job because it's scary to stick out your neck. I want to be a writer and am worrying how it'll all work out, but you definetly inspired me! Very cute blog :)

    thanks!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  77. You are so rockin' the bright pink lipstick! Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  78. Awww thanks :) This lipstick is actually from Linda Mason Elements in Soho :) Here is the website:
    http://www.lindamason.com/index2.htm

    Don't worry about the yellow teeth aspect, I have the least white teeth on the planet (too scared to try whitener!!) and my teeth look fine in this lipstick. I went to Sephora and tried on a bunch, they all made me look yellow teeth, or too thick. This one is a gloss stick, applied with a brush, it has an earth undertone, which helps when trying to disguise less than perfect teeth :) Good Luck!

  79. that lip! eeek, girl you pull that off so well... me? i'd look like a bad version of jem... def. not truly truly truly outrageous.

  80. I love that lipstick on you, its gorg!
