Sassy & Sweet

COUNTDOWN: 5 days until NEW YORK !!!

Sorry for the above countdown, I had NEEDED to type it as I screamed it out loud. It's real and it's happening in 5 days. I.CAN.NOT.WAIT. Lotus ladies + me + fashion shows + buying adventures=PURE HAPPINESS. Okaaaay now on to why I, and hopefully YOU, are here. Outfit explorations :-).

A couple weeks ago I was on "the hunt" for a cream lace or crochet tank/blouse. It was consuming my mind for a few days prior after reading the August issue of Nylon. They had dedicated an entire section on how to pair "girly" tops with "bad-ass" bottoms. The perfect combo of "Sassy & Sweet." There was a BEAUTIFUL white crochet tank with almost 3D designs that made the top look like a piece of artwork. Of course it was $590 ...for a tank .... notice the long pause? Soooooo I was set on finding an "almost" replica.

It was actually MUCH easier than I expected to find the outfit I had already created in my mind. I scored a great off-white crochet tank with a sheer back from Forever 21 (where you CAN ALWAYS find a top) for $28. Even if I only wear it once, I got my money worth because I am able to make this post and smile. The top is just see thru enough to wear a cute eyelet bra underneath & it peeks through, but not sheer enough to make you feel like you're only wearing your eyelet bra. I paired the top with my "go to" faux leather pants. It was great. My leather and a sweetie-pie top. Thanks Nylon mag for the idea. I added my own personal touch by lacing up my cream sneaker wedges instead of going for a classic black pump or adorned ballerina flat. I call sneaker wedges "Moon Shoes" and I know most of you know what I'm referencing. For jewels, I kept it simple with my oversized two tone MK watch and one gold spike bracelet.

Wala "Sassy & Sweet" my version. Happy Sunday babydolls!
