When Kristi, of Delightfully Kristi, asked us to put a Pop of Color into our wardrobes this week, she couldn't have picked a better time! Temps in the 60s and 70s make for a marvelous middle ground between piling on the layers and sweating in shorts and a tank (though I'm sure the latter will be here sooner than I'd like).
Pink and orange are two of my favorite colors to wear, so coral is the perfect happy medium between the two. And of course, it has the added bonus of being a very spring-y color, ideal for this weather.
I love the juxtaposition of pretty pearls and distressed denim - a nice blend of feminine and casual. I made this necklace several years ago from a collection of multicolored fake pearls my grandmother gave me. I really love it and don't wear it as often as it deserves.
The shoes, too, are a great combination of cute and comfortable. The wedge isn't too high, the canvas is nicely broken-in, and the laces keep them securely on my feet (hey, this is important when you're clumsy).
Sweater: $4 thrifted // Jeans: $5 thrifted // Shoes: $13 thrifted
Necklace: me-made // Earrings: me-made // Bracelet: hand-me-down from a friend
What colors do you think the other TST ladies chose to feature in their outfits this week? Let's click their pics and go see!
I'm crushing on this look so hard! I love the sweater, but I think I love even more the pop of color from the fake pearls - they're so fun! You look so laid back and chill, I just love this whole look!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beth! I get tons of compliments on that necklace every time I wear it. It's a wonder I don't wear it more often.
DeleteGreat look! You look marvelous Carissa!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan!
DeleteAhhhh Carissa I love this look! The color is gorgeous (coral is one of my favorite colors to wear!) and the styling is spot on! I love the pearl statement necklace with the jeans and those bootie/wedges are SO FUN! The weather here has been really nice lately, too, although it's currently bordering on miserable thanks to a dry, windy heat wave... But I am loving seeing everyone's colorful winter/spring looks!! :)
ReplyDeleteI certainly didn't take any risks this week, outfit-wise. But hey, sometimes your comfort zone is, well, comfortable!
DeleteThe color looks great on you, and cute shoes too.

Thanks, Jess! I do love those shoes. :)
DeleteYou THRIFTED those wedges? Man. I gotta step up my game. Coral is a lovely colour on you, Carissa. I love your ring, too. Is it an opal? Too pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe shoes came from Buffalo Exchange, which is a sort of consignment-ish place. They buy gently-used recent fashions and sell them for somewhere between Goodwill and retail prices. I've found some really great stuff there!
DeleteYes, the ring is opal - my birthstone - with little diamonds on the sides. It was an anniversary gift from my husband when I had lost enough weight that my wedding ring didn't fit anymore.
LOVE those shoes!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Me too!
DeleteYou wear pink really well. I struggle to wear more than the palest of pinks, but you have the skin for any shade! Love the shoes, and am feeling jealous of some of the thrifted shoes I'm seeing from you ladies...don't have much choice in my local thrift shop! Can't wait to see next week's look :)
ReplyDeleteOh, but I *love* those brown leather men's shoes you thrifted a little while back. I've been looking for a pair myself for weeks now, ever since I saw yours in your TST Resolutions post!
DeleteSuper cute outfit! Love the color on you and the shoes are really great.
