Pretty in Pink and Pearls

Sometimes it's nice to get back to the basics that makes us really feel like a girl, such as pink and pearls.  Any time you can add a vintage or retro look with that, only it makes it that much better.  I bought this 60's inspired, color block shirt from The Loft last year and my string of pearls were my grandmother's. The Loft always has great sales and a good place to look for basics or statement pieces like this shirt. Paired with black skinny pants and wedges to make it a quick outfit for work, running errands, or dinner with friends!



To get this similar look you could also use a peplum top, like the one here from Body Central (for only $14.98).  They have multiple colors on their website.








A pearl necklace (long or short) can be picked up anywhere and I tend to favor the ones with a bit more character, like these two from Charming Charlie-- they always have affordable jewelry in every color & style! I absolutely love this store and it's great for when you are in a hurry to find the right statement piece!

I got the blues

Still bearing this cold weather, but thankfully most of the snow and ice has melted away so my heels can come out to play :)! The blue pants I have on are from the Loft and are a couple of seasons old, so this color can not be bought but you can get them in black for only $30 on sale!! Just click here! These pants are the Marisa Zip Pocket Skinny Pants in Stretch Ponte.  They are amazing because like the leggings, we love oh so much, they stretch and very comfortable, but appear to be dressier and great for work! My sweater was one of my great TJ Maxx finds for under $20 that I paired with a simple black camisole underneath. I wasn't able to find the exact sweater, but this cute motorcycle inspired jacket from JC Penny (shown below) would give you this same look for less! On sale for $40 now here!
Completed my look with my favorite wedged black booties, that go so easily with any type of hem.  Especially the straight pants to where I can show them off!  My necklace was a gift for Christmas and is a black diamond with the gold chain and I added my vintage gold ball necklace for a simple look!
