Recently, I tweeted about wanting to change my blunt bangs to side swept bangs. However, it's become very clear that I am a creature of habit. I attempted the side swept look for a whopping 20 minutes, but then quickly caved, ran to the hair salon... and voila, my blunt bangs are back!! I did however pick up a few new lipstick shades to refresh my look. I'm wearing & loving MAC shade A-41 "please me" -it's such a sweet shade of pink. I adore and highly recommend it!
As for the outfit? Yay for blogging girlfriends that let me borrow their clothes! I was SO delighted when Alicia of "aliciafashionsista" brought this beauty of a dress to our recent clothing swap. I had such a fun time styling up this maxi! Woven fedoras, light cardigans, and floral print dresses have quickly become my summer uniform.
Tonight, hubs and I are heading off to enjoy a fabulous new restaurant/lounge. I'll be celebrating my birthday -hooray! Upside? I get to enjoy a night out with my honey. Downside? I swear, as I get older, these darn birthdays seem to come faster & faster. Enjoy your day, friends!! xx veronika
PS I've changed my post layout and increased the size of my pictures so you guys can enjoy my outfits in more detail. Hehe, no more squinting required.
Happy Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the look, that lipstick IS really cute, and so are your shoes ;)

ReplyDeleteThe dress/fedora combo is so perfect for summer. I think the cardy addition will make it easy to transition to cooler fall weather, too. Nice picks!
Veronika you look so tall and beautiful in that maxi! And the color of your cardi goes perfectly with it!
ReplyDeleterebeccawithanR
I really need to find a maxi that works on me. I am having serious dress envy here. The print on that dress is so cheerful - how can you not smile while wearing it? And don't you love clothes that make you smile? I do!

ReplyDeleteThe new formating looks great, but this look is even better (obviously). The dress looks fabulous on you - the colours really suit your skin tone. And you know what, I just think your bangs are you. I don't always think change is needed...sometimes things just stick and are meant to! Hope you're having a great birthday week!
