i’m mixing it up today with a pair of floral pants. it’s a lovely summer look with a soft, feminine, color palette – mint green, peaches and corals. (i might need a mojito to go with my ootd.) but, the tomboy in me had to toughen up the look by throwing on a denim shirt and jean jacket. i added a jade bangle to the ensemble as well as a pair of jade earrings, two keepsakes from our years living in asia, and perfect summer accessories. lately, i’ve been favoring pink lip shades, so for those readers that always ask what color i have on – today is pink pigeon by mac. a pair of ivory sandals with a hint of gold blend in seamlessly with my colorful pants. a crossbody bag finishes off this casual chic look.

Thanks for anticipatingmy question about your lipstick. Do you always wear bright lipstick? I was wearing a brownie berry pale lipstick thikingit loed cool. Then saw a photograph and thought I looked ill. 🙂 Grey hair =bright lipstick?
i do like bright lipstick colors. i recently had on a brownish red shade and had the same reaction as you did – i looked like death warmed over. cool skin tones – cool lipstick shades.
hi sandra!
i thought i had replied to this comment…but, i do like to weak bright lipstick. recently, on the advice of my trusted make-up advisor, i went with a reddish-brown lip shade by chanel. my lunch almost came up when i looked at my photo shoot! i’m thinking that since my skin color is fair, my lipstick should compliment it.
