MONOCHROME

Outfit details: Shirt: H&M (similar) / Skirt: H&M (on SALE) / Shoes: Christian Louboutin: Sold out (Love THIS pair) / Clutch: Aldo (great option HERE) / Bracelet: Gift from a friend

I wore this outfit last week to take my husband out to dinner for his birthday. I love a monochrome outfit because it's such an easy way to look 'polished' and it's a trend that never gets old. This entire outfit was planned around my Christian Louboutins Beauty 100 leather pumps (that are sadly sold out) that my husband got me. This pair is definitely one of my favorites because it's very "ME" and extremely girly and beautiful and not to mention COMFORTABLE.

COLORFUL STRIPES

Outfit details: Shirt: Old Navy / Skirt: Loft (similar) / Shoes: Jessica Simpson (sold out) / Necklace: Forever 21 / Sunglasses: Coach / Watch: Invicta / Bracelet: H&M

These photos were taken a few weeks ago; with traveling and work I somehow forgot to post them, so here they are. Better late than never right? Right!

It's no secret that I love stripes and I especially love pairing it with different patterns and prints however, I played it safe with this outfit by combining this multi color striped skirt with a neutral blouse and playing up my outfit with standout accessories and shoes.

BRINK PINK

As I am sure you are all aware, it's October!! A few of my favorite people are celebrating birthdays this month and it's also Breast Cancer Awareness month. I took this opportunity to dedicate my first post of the month to this cause. In my last post HERE I blogged about BeGood Clothing Company based in San Francisco and also mentioned that they carry Angela & Roi handbags; I love what both company stands for (see my earlier post here). My indecisiveness made it very difficult for me to decide which handbag I should purchase from the line so I have been thinking it over :-) While browsing BeGood's website I saw the Sunday tote in Brink Pink and I was in love! I purchased it using the coupon code that I shared "begoodislandhipster" and got 20% off.

Photographs can't do this tote justice, it is the most beautiful shade of pink I have ever laid my eyes on and made of the softest vegan leather. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen that I was recently in New York visiting my family. I wore the tote as soon as I received it and the compliments I received were endless. This color supports breast cancer and $5 is donated to The Ellie Fund.

For this post, I centered my outfit around this lovely tote and in keeping with the theme opted for this pink shirt and floral skirt. Do you guys partake in any breast cancer awareness activities?
