Look Book: Pops of Pink, Orange & Lace!!

Hello, friends! Just a quick outfit post today; I'm actually on a small work hiatus. Oh, the woes of being a business owner - it's been a crazy busy week for me. But I am determined to cure my exhaustion with a bit of afternoon shopping, a yoga class, a much needed hair appointment, and then end the day off right with a bubble bath in our massive soaker tub, accompanied by a glass of bubbly, of course!

I just received this beautiful necklace from the lovely Inge of Damsel of Dainty. I'm so in love with the romantic & girly aesthetic of it - it's the perfect statement necklace. I'm also eying these gorgeous "Bow Earrings" from her Etsy shop... they'd be perfect, paired with a vintage dress & a loose/low bun.  So be sure to take a peek at her shop, as she's offering all Girl & Closet readers a 20% discount when you use promo code: "GIRLANDCLOSET"
And this weekend, aside from a full social calender, I also need to start planning my outfits for the Texas Style Council Conference. I'll definitley be choosing outfits that are comfy & cute and built around wearable shoes. I can't believe how quickly it's approaching. I'm getting so excited and a little bit anxious... oh geez, I am not a fan of flying!! I'll for sure be ordering a few drinks to calm my nerves. ;)  On that note, happy Friday! xo veronika

So lovely - I love your bright lipstick with that skirt! I'm obsessed with orange and thinking about getting one for summer. I may have to after seeing this cute outfit!

Hmph. I tried wearing some really strong red lipstick today and thought I was doing pretty well until I saw yours and liked it better. And that skirt! It looks almost . . . plastic?

(Saw your comment on another blog and liked your name!)

Ugh, you have no idea how badly I need a haircut. I'm at the point where I can't even remember the last time I got it cut... yikes!

Can't wait for your outfit posts from the Texas Style Council Conf.

That necklace is adorable! Looks like it would go with so many different outfits. Have fun on your trip! I'd love to do something like that someday. Also, yes drinking while flying is so helpful. Usually just one glass of that disgusting wine helps me nap, and thus calm down. :)

Cee said...

Oh, hurray for finally taking a work break, Veronika! I definitely need to do the same - luckily I don't bring my work home on weekends, I am so looking forward to two days away from my email box. I hope you had a wonderfully relaxing day (and picked up some pretty new things we'll get to see!) In the meantime, I am loving your bow necklace and the lace detail peeking out from under your red skirt is just darling. Such a shame we won't see you tomorrow, but until next time!
xox,
Cee

Be careful about ordering drinks on the plane! The turbulence can make you feel like you're going to be sick. But don't let that discourage you! I'm sure you'll be fine :)
