Second Chances.....

Since I have started blogging, I have learnt a lot about myself and my own personal fashion style. Looking back over my outfit posts, I am not exactly proud of all of them. There is one in particular that has really been bothering me titled "Home is Where The Heart Is", in which I am also wearing these same pink shorts. I have had a lot of trouble trying to style these shorts. I think it is because they are loose fitting  and I think they require a tighter shirt on top to even things out. As such, it seemed to me that I may have had nothing in my closet that would nicely compliment these shorts. So I thought I would give myself a second chance at styling the shorts and ordered this lovely shirt from Asos which I think looks wonderful. I love the built in shoulder pads and the lace back - feels so feminine!!

I wore this outfit to the my the engagement party of my little brother Jordon and his lovely fiance Lacy. It was wonderful Thai themed party with lots of champagne, delicious food and of course Thai buckets (the classic Thai drink for foreigners - if you have ever been there, I am sure you know the ones I am talking about). Anyways, just wanted to say congrats to them - I can't wait to have another sister-in-law!!! So happy for you two!!!!










Shirt: Asos

  1. The pink and black combo is pretty classic and this outfit is a perfect example. I think Eva Longoria wore this beautiful pink/black lingerie like dress the night before her wedding. It was beautiful and so are you!
