Camel Colored Accessories

‪

pants: H&M; shoes: Franco Sarto.

I remember when I was in college, many years ago (eeeeks!) & my bestie, Amanda, bought a pair of camel colored boots. We both ogled ‬at them agreeing that they were indeed a must-have despite collegiate credit card debt. When Amanda would try them on we also both agreed that they looked a little cowgirlish (not the look at the time) so they would stay nice & unscathed (read: unworn) at the apartment. It seems as though we just didn't know what to do with that color, yet we were still drawn to it.

That was then, this is now. I can't believe my life without camel colored accessories. They go with everything - or at least I think so.  I hope you still have those boots Amanda, they (& you!) were ahead of our closets :)

Dress Up Like Kiernan Shipka

Shobha Brow Pencil (earth) // Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar (Ophellia) // C. Wonder Bling Stud Earrings (Rose) //  vintage 1960s gold embroidered evening dress (that I would hem to a tea length) // Badgley Mischka Violetta Heels (in Platino). Kiernan Shipka's photo snagged from Red Carpet Fashion Awards.

More often than not young girls these days try to dress older than they are.  That is why I'd like to give personal kudos to Miss Kiernan Shipka who I think looked amazing at last night's 2013 SAG Awards. Taking a page from her show away from home, Mad Men, Kiernan knocked it out of the park looking classy in this perfectly pink 60s style frock.  If only Oscar de la Renta could dress the rest of the youth & all of us of today - but I digress.

Kiernan is a living doll in this get-up & I think  girls & women of all ages can/should take a nod from her style. I searched the web for the pieces that I thought might look best on my 30-something body in the spirit of this inspiration along with what I'd imagine would finish off this look with the perfect pink lip & bold brow.
