Pink Slip

I have been wearing so much black lately, its spring, the weather is getting nicer slowly but surely and its about time I break out of this black and grey rut! So I decided to bring some color into my life ...full on....and here it is....I wanted to mix patterns so I have the floral tights and the pastel, 80s sort of childhood vibin' shirt. The blazer is a perfect fit that I found out thrifting months ago...really girly and has a barbie vibe to it ...which is why I added the studded belt :P...and check out the toe cleavage....I totally got my bf into it.....well on me...not himself...haha

XOX
Blazer: Vintage
Shirt: Vintage
Belt: Thrifted
Skirt: AA
Tights: H&M
Shoes: Vintage
P.s. These are the products I used today....Loreal Voluminous is my new fave mascara next to lash blast...guys if there is one product you can skimp on and not spend much on...its mascara...there is no need to spend $30 on a mascara....unless you really want to...:P..Brushes are a good investment however...my fave is the MAC 109...for cheaper versions...check out your local craft store...paint brushes made of natural fibers can work just as well!!
oh and random fact BUT......did you know as of yesterday him and I have been dating for 6 years and 10 months.....almost hitting 7!! Time flies but I would never have had it any other way...yes, we still count the months :P....

L: This is Love Rock by MAC from the Grand Duos mineralized blush collection

Anon: There will be many times where you search and come out with nothing ...BUT the times that you DO find something make it totally worth it ...I have found vintage Hermes and so many other treasures for what you would pay for items at a dollarstore!!
