  • Accessories: A Touch of Midas

    My last post was a little on the heavy side. Let’s lighten things up a bit with some fashion, shall we?

    I recently attended the wedding of a close friend and wanted to look especially spectacular, as I would be acting as pro bono DJ of sorts.

    Not THAT kind of Bono. Ew.

    I knew I wanted to show off my little indigo one-sleeve number from Forever 21, but I kept flip-flopping on what accessories would work best. That dress makes me feel like a goddess, so I decided to just roll with that theme and go bold with GOLD.

    Shoes by Carlos Santana (yes, THAT Santana): ~$50 on clearance at Macy’s
    Gladiator ring: $20 at NYC flea market
    Bracelet: ~$15 at Lane Bryant
    Belt: ~$20 at Torrid

    I won’t lie, the shoes were KILLING me by the end of the night. But I’m a smart girl who takes her own advice, so I had a pair of flats to change into — gold ones to match my get-up, OF COURSE.

    Like a real professional, I completely failed to get a decent snapshot of me actually wearing the ensemble, so this is the best I can do.

    Naturally, it was taken at the tail end of the night,
    when I was definitely at my freshest!

    I’m guilty of cropping out the guys, but my legs were never in the shot to begin with so you *MIDAS WELL believe me that the shoes looked fabulous.

    *See what I did there? You did?  Yeah, sorry. They can’t all be gold.
