Pastel Primer

October 8, 2018,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

You guys know I love coordinating my outfits to my art. The latest example is this look I shot at Underground at Inkblock, a public space in the South End chock full of murals. Initially I was worried these two pastel colors would be too cloying together, but because they’re different vibrancies it works. 

I accented the look with my favorite necklace which I call my “Tzarina necklace.” Though it probably wouldn’t be fancy enough to satisfy a true Russian queen. This look would also work with a leather jacket or a trench coat as the weather cools down. 

Skirt: TJ Maxx, Top: c/o MM.LaFleur, Shoes: Nine West c/o Macy’s, Necklace: Forever21
