Casual Polka Dot Friday

I am getting better at pattern mixing, but can you mix two patterns that are basically the same?

Shirt: H&M // Jeans: Old Navy Rockstar {thrifted at Superior Thrift Store}

Flats: Walmart // Bracelets: Burlington // Belt: H&M {came with shorts}

Spring Lookalikes

I don't know if it's just my memory or I was simply lucky this week but I came across several awesome spring knock-offs, look-alikes, call them whatever you want, but some brands clearly got their inspiration from several high-end brands and this is the result.
As a fashionista on a budget I squeal from joy. There is no way I would pay the full price for anything.
Wouldn't this J.crew lookalike be great for spring? I totally love the airy sheerness and fun colorful print. Left: @jcpenney ($27.99) Right: @jcrew ($88, sold out).



Always wanted the sold out J.Crew embellished and beaded chambray shirt? @oldnavy has a great lookalike for $25, talk about a steal!

Look what I just found! Valentino studded flat lookalike - the rockstar studs seem to be everywhere right now - at Forever21 for about $25! How awesome is that?

Which one would you buy? And which one are you willing to pay a full price for?

XOXO,

Can Redheads ever wear PINK?

There is another color that Redheads try to avoid more than the dreaded red.

PINK.

Just try to google "can redheads wear pink?" and you will get about a million results, and Google may even finish the sentence for you. 

Kylie Lewis, a recent contestant on the show The Bachelor, just tried to repeat this thousand time repeated lie when she told TMZ that the producers on the show tried to set her up with a pink dress. She claims that the producers told her to dye her hair from strawberry blonde to red and that they advised her to wear a pink dress instead of purple. And instead of getting the rose she got a sad goodbye from the show.

Natural redheads should avoid oranges and yellows, and steer towards blues. The same goes for Decided Redheads, especially in stronger, magenta tones. Let's look at some examples.

 Decided Redheads will especially look good in two shades of pink. One of them is light, soft baby pink. 

Ariana Grande

 The other one is sexy pink shade of Hollywood pink.

Emma Stone

And least but not least, magenta.

How are you wearing your pink, Redheads?
