A Pop Of Orange

Oct 22, 2012

Hello! Guys, firstly thank you so much for your awesome comments regarding my "personal goals" post - your thoughts were so great to read + I loved being able to share my list with you.  I've been on a real roll lately! It started with a closet re-do, that led to a blog make-over (still working out a few kinks) and now I'm working on re-styling our home. Fun, right?! I'm giving it more of a EQ3/modern aesthetic. I'm ready to start new and start fresh. Unencumbered by clutter, clear on my goals and excited for a more authentic future.


Speaking of change, I'd like to occasionally mix up the content on the blog too... I'll always post about fashion because I adore it so much. But I'd love to open up my creative space to a few other posts too, like: personal posts (marriage, career & other life topics), home decor, recipes (I have one queued up for this week), photos from daily life, and at some point do a little Q&A video too.




Alright, on to the outfit. I somehow forgot about this gem of a skirt, and just discovered it on my last closet overhaul. I used to be a real prints girl but solid colours have quickly become my new favourite. And... I just noticed that J.Crew is pairing a lot of their orange hues with soft pink ones - how cute would this skirt look with a fitted sheer blush or ballet pink sweater?! I can't wait to try it!





Outfit Details:
Jacket - H&M
Sweater - Club Monaco
Skirt - H&M
Bag - Aldo
Tights for Every Occasion, Black
ModCloth Flats - H&M

  15. I love your hair in this post...and actually, funny you mention pairing orange with pink...I wore a dress the other day in the same hue as your skirt and paired it with a baby pink cardi, and I liked it a lot. So go for it :)

    Looking lovely.

  25. I love this Veronika! The orange pop is perfection, gives the whole look an autumnal feel. And personally, I'm all for more variety on the blog - I feel like one thing you really have going for you that a lot of other bloggers don't is so much talent and experience in a wide rane of areas, would love to read more into photography, home decor, etc.!

  33. I caught a little preview of this look on instagram and I have to say, I fell completely in love with combination of orange, leopard and denim. I was already sold on orange with leopard, of course - who doesn't love that? - but the addition of denim was so inspirational. Must take this combination out for a spin soon! Oh, and I just have to comment on your H&M flats - I have two pairs of the same ones in different shades. Aren't they the most comfortable ever?! Smooches.

  46. i actually kinda love it when that reno mood hits and you take on super big projects like the ones you're talking about. it feels so fab when it's all said and done, right?! you've done a wonderful job remaking your blog and i can only imagine what your closet is looking like too. ummm, immaculate...everything within arms reach for clearly concise styling arrangements. i'd be your closet groupie for sure :) forget about bands and the music they play, let me at a good, well thought out closet anytime and i'm all about it! ha!

    very awesome color combo Veronika, you've re-interpreted what a variety of ways you can re-style a jean jacket, one of my fave elements off the hanger. love the orange and pink idea - what a joyful color combo pop!! you look beautiful, happy mid-week. xo ♥
