Outfit of the Week: Sweetness

Outfit of the Week: The Sweetness

When/Where/Why: Valentine's Day/Valentine's Day/Valentine's Day
Heard: Sweetness by Jimmy Eat World on Grooveshark

Wore: So far, 2012 and I haven't been getting along. And while I don't want this post (or blog) to be negative, I do want to be honest. Life has been trying for me lately (I promise I'm fine), so I look for the sweetness in every situation. Accentuate the positive, y'know? While this isn't my favorite outfit of all time, I'm glad I injected a little girly color to make me feel better. It worked!

  • Instead of red, I kept it sweet with this pinky/peachy cardigan from H&M.
  • I wore it over a grey tank, also from H&M (similar).
  • Grey skinnies and flats (not pictured, oops) completed my outfit.
  • A chunky drop necklace and a sweet pink gloss gave me that little extra.
  • Like my hair? I can show you how I got it like this next week, if you'd like.
big hair, don't care ;)

    I'm sure the year will turn around for you, really. Until then, throwing a little sparkle into things always makes me feel better too.

    As soon as I saw the title of your post, I started singing that song in my head. I do love your hair here. You kind of look like a Pantene commercial:)

    I hope the rest of the year treats you better!

    Love this outfit. I love pink, it's so delicate! And I love your hair, I wish I had long thick hair. Short and fine is what I got stuck with!
