Even if youve got your wardrobe inventory mentally cataloged, a good session of shopping in your closet can bring about some very pleasant surprises. This Gwyneth and I know, because its been a while since pairing hot pink and purple was this exciting. To be specific, it was approximately 25 years ago, while I was decorating my Barbie Dream House.
So this weekend, while on a shopping trip in my closet (searching for new ways to wear my purple Alice + Olivia High Waisted Pants) we were surprised when my Joie Pink Silk Racerback Tank started talking to us. Gwyneth was closely monitoring my shopping from her post on the end-of-bed-bench, and the look passed the one bark if you like it, two if you dont test. While this test isnt 100% reliable I cant wait to wear this outfit come Spring / Summer anyway. The color combination inspired some additional closet shopping (and a little supplementation with items we found online).
Below are two casual looks that we love. We cant believe this maxi skirt is only $25!! And the Kenneth Jay Lane earrings now occupy the #1 spot on our wishlist.

All the dresses are good. But you forget to add some simple jewellery with all of them. It will give much better look.
Hi there! We just love the look with the statement jewelry we selected for the outfits! Just read a few posts, and youll see were not minimalists and love to go big! But if adding simple pieces gives our looks a much better look for YOU, then we certainly encourage you to add away!
