Back to the Basics


It's been very colorful on this blog lately, so I thought it was time to head back to the basics.  Remember this skirt?  I wore it not that long ago for a copycat post (this one) and went on and on about the belt making the outfit.  Guess what.  


It did again.  That one shot of color is enough to elevate the look of the whole outfit.  Were I a savvy blogger, I would have pulled out some other accessories to make the look pop such as a bag perhaps, or a chunky necklace, or both.  But I am not a savvy blogger and so, you just get the outfit.  

Listen, I do what I do and often don't have the time to switch bags for every outfit when all that happens is it gets locked in a locker.  I did however take the time to pull my hair back.  What do you think?

It's Monday ya'll so look for the YOLO and Visible Monday buttons on the sidebar!!  Go join in the fun!

XO,
Alyssa

  1. LOL, we just get the outfit...too cute. As are you! I love your hair pulled back.

    You sure can rock the black and white graphics. Maybe it's your beautiful skin tone and hair.

  5. You're right - the belt makes the outfit! Love that pink color! But the top and skirt look very pretty, too, in a classic kind of way.

    I always think I should add purses to my shots, too, but I usually think of it too late. I have one in just that color of pink to match your purse. I'll have to try to remember to use it!

  8. Hi Alyssa,
    Do you want to borrow my pink scarf?
    I was wondering if you could help me? How did you get your blog posts to show up on our "tribe" in atomic reach? I'm having no luck… Thanks in advance if you can help.
    The pink scarf is here if you need it :)

    1. Thanks Debbi. I'm REALLY trying to get through this phase in the growing out process. Right about now is when I always go in and make her chop it!
