neutrals {pop of colour}


Top- Elegantees; Dress (worn as a skirt)- Thrifted; Knee Highs- Gap; Heels- Aldo; Bracelets- Roadtrip & Dragonmoon; Earrings- AMH Style
I can finally inject some colour into my wardrobe after a week of neutrals-hooray! I already feel more vivacious! Thanks to Megan and Keely for hosting - it helped me to appreciate neutrals and create outfits I might not have otherwise.  {And that's the sign of a successful fashion challenge if you ask me!} For the pop of colour in my outfit I wore this stunning top from Elegantees that I won in Amanda's giveaway! I love the colour, the fluttery sleeves and the back detailing, but the best part is that all Elegantees' profits are donated to Nepal to provide female survivors of sex trafficking with sewing jobs.  I applaud the altruistic efforts of Elegantees and hope that other fashion designers will take a page from their book!

 

 
{I bought these Gap tights last season but it's my first time wearing them as they were hidden in the back of my closet.  I love the gold threading and how warm and cosy they are!}

I'm linking up to Everybody Everywear's Sequins & Sparkles edition with my shimmery tights!

    Glad you enjoyed the challenge. It taught me a lot too - mostly that I love color more than anything in the world!

    The top is special, especially from behind, but the star of this show are the glittery tights! You and I share a love of pretty leg-adornments.

    Those knee highs are amazing! I tried the knee high thing and i don't think it was for me, but you've got the killer legs to pull it off.

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
