weekend roundup: hard and soft

if i have said it once,

i have said it a thousand times...

my personal style does not fit neatly into any one category.

for example, thursday, i wanted a look that was casual, soft, and fun.

i went light on the makeup and headed out the door...

top: j.crew striped tee (similar here)   pants: glam   necklace: tory burch (gift)  lipstick: mac angel 

contrast that with the look below.

sometimes i get antsy and want to wear my spring purchases.

these jeans are for spring, really and truly. 

i loved the look of the 80s wash with tall black shoes.

i went heavier on the eyeliner, sporting my perennial favorite winged-look.

i threw on a jacket and headed out the door.

jeans: j. brand   shoes: shoemint garbo   lipstick: tom ford spanish pink 

the point is this - 

experiment. 

walk out the door with confidence.

don't put yourself in a box. 

oh...and

just smile and say "thank you"

when your husband tells you that you belong in a whitesnake music video
