I love a fierce red as much as the next holiday shopper, but pink can be a welcome alternative for your next fabulous fête. When I saw this pink crushed velvet top at J.Crew, I must confess I shrieked in happiness and proudly named it my Malibu Barbie shirt. To up the cuteness factor, I also added a pearl headbandand delicate bow belt (similar). Both are inexpensive accessories from my go-to store, Forever21. Because I firmly believe no one should attend a cocktail party without a sparkly clutch and cocktail ring, I added a glam gold clutch from Anthropologie and ring from Charlotte Russe. I’m thinking about crafting the oversized bauble into a brooch and wearing it on the collar of a blouse.
To balance the ultra-femme outfit, I edged things up with a pleated Forever21 leather skirt and my tried and true Tory Burch ankle booties (similar). Robbi Jo Robyn, a budding fashion photographer, designed the shoot in Deep Ellum to amp up the tough-chic feel as well. Like what you see?
