Show and Tell

After a long day of work and classes I decided to take a shopping break at a local boutique. This store in particular had recently undergone an incredible makeover, making it a top competitor for my favorite store in town (Twenty Ten and Juniper being the other two). After moving locations Collette really expanded. With a huge collection of clothing, including Free People, they greatly impressed me.

My friends have been going on about my mostly-black wardrobe, so I finally decided to do something to lighten it up. With waist length red hair and a hippy upbringing, it was about time to admit my dark days were over. Thus enter the three clothing items featured in above. The rose chiffon shirt is probably my favorite as you can pair it with nearly anything. Grey and black look the best under it, but I'm sure I'll find a nice brown to give it more of an earthy feel. The shirt gathers at the waist in a nice lose bow, and has great detailing up around the collar to add the right amount of flair. The dress is fabulous and fitted with a preppy collar to match the floral pattern. It also has pockets which I love. Finally the shoes (purchased from Juniper, not Collette on the same day), complete both items.

Hopefully this color scheme is the start of something new, an adventure into new fashions which I cannot wait to explore.

About a Girl

I probably should explain a bit about myself...

I'm 21, a student, raised in The Netherlands, living in the U.S. for University. I currently live with my boyfriend of five years and my very fat ball of fur named Maximilian Pegasus Moon (my 6 year old Dutch cat). I'm music obsessed, collect shoes, and travel too much for my own good.

Featured clothing item: Fuzzy Mink Pink crop top from Twenty Ten. A few months ago I won a contest (for best styled outfit) that allowed me to go on a shopping spree in a local boutique. I had my eye on this for a few weeks and instantly grabbed it when I was told I would get a few items for free. On the rack it goes for 60$ and was available through most retailers that sell Mink Pink items. I've only had the opportunity to wear it once, I paired it with black skinny jeans and Aldo buckle suede boots. Add some red lips and it is a fabulous winter night item.
