Vintage Glasses & Ruby Red Lips...

Apr 11, 2011

{TOP: MODCLOTH, BELT: THRIFTED, JEGGINGS: CITIZEN OF HUMANITY, SHOES: JOE FRESH}

Hey guys! Hope everyone had a great weekend. I spent a part of mine working from home -that’s my kind of pace! And judging by the first picture, I’ve also taken up smiling at invisible co-workers (hehe). In case you're wondering what I do? I work as a freelance photographer, and yup, you guessed it, I did indeed take these photos!

As for my outfit? I decided to re-style my beloved ModCloth top. I’m so smitten with the creamy colours, slight sheerness, and the ruffles. I paired it with my vintage inspired glasses, deep red lips & ballet slippers, as to play up a more feminine aesthetic. I love how the outfit came together, and the simplicity of it! I’ve also been leaning more towards skinny belts this season and I’m off to purchase a few more today -yay! Hope everyone is having a happy & smooth Monday. xx veronika

PS -
I'm so excited to be announcing another giveaway at the end of this week. I seriously love picking stuff out for you guys!

  3. Love, love, love this office casual look! I have been desperately seeking some skinny croppped black pants for work which I totally plan to rock with flats (gosh, what did we do before flats....they make my feet sooooo happy!).

    You look darling my dear...I adore your hair loose and those glasses are so sweet on you! xx Cat

  34. I love the softness of this creamy shirt. It looks so lovely with your skin and hair color. I tend to go for bright white rather than cream, but this shirt makes me crave something softer. I also think this look would be adorable exactly as it is but with leopard flats.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I have such a weakness for glasses on anyone other than me (probably because I actually need to wear them) and I just love this vintage pair; so very librarian chic :) I can see why you would want to restyle this ModCloth top, too. I just love the delicate colour and shoulder detail. It's one I'd wear over and over!

  36. You make styling chic and feminine seem so simple. The top, jeggings and the flats are all lovely but it's the red lips paired with the vintage inspired glasses that really stand out to me. I LOVE the glasses. I have a very simple black frame prescription glasses, but I've always wanted the prefect cat eyes black frames for my own, so I'm crazy about those glasses! All in all, what a lovely, clean and fresh look.

  37. This top is so dreamy. Love the color and the sheerness. Gorgeous!
