Red, Black, And Blue




 Although the day of red, white, and blue has already passed, I still can't get enough of reds and blues together.  Something about that combo...not to mention I also love red and black together.  Hence this trio.  Lately, I have been grabbing outfits that I'm in the mood for.  Not necessarily trendy, but certainly leaning towards comfort.


(unknown brand from Dillards) Black V-neck Doublestrap Tank XS, Mango Red Suit Trousers XS (similar here), J.Crew Cobalt Blue Suede Sandal Wedges size 7 (similar here and here and here, Francesca's Double Drop Gold Wire Earrings (I want to find a dupe for this since it's my favorite pair of earrings! similar here)

Thank you for stopping by! heart, alice

One Outfit Idea for a Wedding Guest


Oh hello 3 months later...

My friend's wedding in late May was such a Pinterest-worthy wedding, and I was incredibly grateful to be there to share her special day.  Story: I put together this outfit 2 hours before the wedding after my friend decided last minute to wear a more formal dress.  Originally, I planned to wear a minty chiffon shirtdress because I knew my friend was really down-to-earth and would probably hold a down-to-earth wedding.  My thought was that I wanted the bride to be the center of attention, not my outfit.  But ultimately, I'm glad I made my outfit a little fancier or else I would've felt out of place.  The other guests were dressed fancier than I was, even with this upgraded outfit!  I'm not usually at my parent's home, so the top and shoes were such lucky finds around the house that worked with the neutral skirt.  


Thank you Wendy for helping me shoot this video!

What I wore:
Top......................Abercrombie & Fitch (size S) (bought this when I was in high school!)
Skirt.......................Adele nude double slit skirt from Club Monaco (size 2, but too big)
Belt....................................................................................Mango (size XS)
Earrings..............................................................................Nordstrom Rack
R hand Silver Arm Candy.........from South Africa (yes, the country) (top), H&M (bottom)
L hand Gold Arm Candy...................Alisa Michelle via Hautelook (top), H&M (bottom)
Shoes.....................Gianni Bini from Dillards (size 7) (used to be my junior high school
prom shoes.  Danced all night in these and still insanely comfortable)

Hope all yall's July 4th celebration was a blast!
heart, alice
