{Why it Works} Coral Kiss

Hello! I'm back around this blog after having spent one week pounding my keyboard to finish a first draft, and another week lounging about at the Taylors' therapeutic recuperation center. (Better known as their farm. :P) Tomorrow, hopefully, I will have my latest eShakti review up! Many of you know what product I chose, but I'm excited to give a whole post to the fabulous item. Anyway, I thought it had been a long time since I'd done a Why It Works post (nearly a month!) so I decided I'd do one today...sort of in celebration of Spring having arrived!

The Components:

Coral-colored polka-dot top

Wheat-colored shrug-lace thingy-do

Purple knotted chain necklace

Green crystal earrings

Dark-wash jeans

Coral/Rope wedge sandals

Amethyst Smokey-Eye makeup

Coral lipstick

Why it Works:

The coral shirt happens to have wheat colored polka-dots which happen to match the shrug, which seaside theme also happens to be repeated in my shoes. The dark-wash jeans anchor the outfit and because I wanted to keep the whole thing from being too dual-tone, I added a splash of color in with a purple chain necklace and coordinating eye-shadow, and the greenish crystal earrings which brings out the green of my eyes. This outfit speaks spring to me, without being too terribly hopeful that we won't have more frost. Frost made our daffodils look ashamed this morning...they've all been hanging their heads like blushing maids. As to why this style works on me, it's really quite simple. Dark jeans and lifted heels are always acceptable. The shrug skims my figure and the points of it serve to further elongate the silhouette without looking as if it is trying to do that.

A comfortable, warm-weather outfit perfect for a day running errands. La'ers, darlings!
