Lace Cream Top - Forever 21
Red Jeans - Vigoss
Floral Cowboy Boots - Boutique
Gold Earrings - Forever 21
On occasion, I like to channel my inner Taylor Swift. One of my favorite things to do is to mix soft, girly pieces with harder, edgier items like cowboy boots. I also love wearing cowboy boots with dresses and jean jackets. I wore this outfit to work and it was a huge hit with one of the little guys I provide therapy for that loves country music. I walked in the door and he screamed "CARRIE!!!!" It put an enormous smile on my face.
Lace always looks better when paired with gold accessories. It gives outfits a more vintage and sophisticated feel. I chose these simple gold drop earrings to compliment my outfit because they contributed to the overall effect of the outfit without being too much. Accessories should always accentuate, not take away from your actual outfit.
The romantic curls made the outfit elegant as well. I always curl my hair the day after I wash it so that the curls hold better. They held all day and I got so many compliments along the way! I love straightening my hair, but sometimes, it's fun to change it up and do something you wouldn't normally do! I love getting ideas from Pinterest, my friends, and even random people I meet during the day.
As for the colored jeans, I always like to add some color to my wardrobe during the colder months because as the summer tan wears away, darker colored clothes can look dull and make my skin look washed out. I recently got advice from a professional make-up artist that told me that darker colors look best during the winter months. A general rule of thumb is that you should go lighter for summer and darker for winter.
Do not be afraid to experiment. I love trying new clothes pairings and seeing all the unique combinations that I can come up with. :)
Hope you all had a lovely November. I know that my Birthday month was totally fabulous!
Xoxo! <3
