A little bit of lace!

I'm joining the creative closet linkup once again this week! Interesting because this weeks prompt is about lace, which isn't my thing...at all! I like it on others, but I just don't like how it looks on me. But I guess I can survive a little bit of lace every one in a while. I picked up a top with two lace side panels a couple of weeks ago. I decided to get it because it was on sale and I was planning on wearing it underneath a blazer, so I thought nobody would see the lace anyway. But since the top is a little longer than most of my blazers, a little lace is visible. So yeah, a little bit of lace!

I paired the top with my pink blazer by Only and my dark blue velvet pants by Esprit. The pose is a bit odd, but I had very little time taking pictures of this outfit. I wore it to a wedding last weekend, and getting out of the door on time with a toddler is a challenge on it self. 

Accessories! I wore my Mini Phantom watch by Guess, my pink bow bracelet by Mulberry and a pair

of heart shaped earrings. I also carried my new mini pochette by Louis Vuitton. I attached a chain I got off Ebay to wear it as a crossbody during the day, and I took the chain off in the evening to wear it as a wristlet. Such a cute and versatile little thing! 

I also orded some new dark brown heels to match my mini pochette. I figured I would just wear a pair of heels I already owned, but later realised they were all pretty beaten up already and weren't very suitable to wear to a wedding. So I rushed to get these the day before the wedding. Now it probably isn't the best idea to dance the night away in heels you didn't break in yet, but luckily I survived! :)

So how about you? Do you like to rock a little bit of lace from time to time?

OOTD - Pastel Me!

I'm back with another outfit post today! I'm joining the creative closet for this week's prompt: Pastel Me! I love pastels, so I just knew I had to join this week. This is what I wore to a bacholerette party a couple of days ago. I took some quick pictures on my way out.

 I'm wearing my new pastel pink summer parka by Tommy Hilfiger. I mentioned it a couple of weeks ago in a haul post, and I really have been loving it ever since. I love the color, and i love the comfy slouchy fit. I am on a quest to dress more casual, so this is a great first step for me. I paired it with a light creamy pink top by Steps and a simple white top from H&M. I am also wearing my Speedy  30 again. I love how this bag looks with lighter colored clothing. It's the ultimate bag for spring.

On my nails I am wearing Essie Fiji. This is probably my favorite nail polish right now. It's just such a clean and fresh look.  Love it!

On the bottom I'm wearing shimmery taupe ankle boots by SPM and blue velvet pants by Esprit. Yeah, velvet pants... I never would have willingly picked these out to be honest. I ordered them online and was under the impression I was ordering a  pair of jeans. When they came in I realised I made a mistake. I still thought they looked kinda cool though. And since they were on sale I decided to hang on to them. I do like the fact that they are something different.

So there you have it, my latest OOTD. Do you love pastels just as much as I do?
