pinky

Polo shirt with magic powers: Uniqlo.  Cropped jeans & belt: Zara. Similar belt online here or jeans here and here if you don’t have a Zara in your area (they have a few other brand colours on the site). Satchel: Cambridge Satchel Company (13″ size) –  love the yellow and red too.  Shades: Ray Ban. Tourquoise ring: Britannina Antiques @ Brooklyn Flea Market. Pink watch: The Outnet
I went back to the classics and got a couple of Uniqlo polo shirts and thought how the heck should I wear the pink one?  Answer: I’ll colour block the hell out of it.  I wore it with heels when going out eat out that evening. (You remember the last time I posted the heels with woollies). 
The blurb on the shirt tag says it’s got UV filters in it and keeps you dry from perspiring.  Hmmmm  –  probably a good thing;  under arm colour block circles caused by perspiring isn’t such a good look.
Soon as it STAYS warm though I swear I don’t want to wear black ever again. That’s not going to happen of course but you get the point: COLOUR COLOUR COLOUR

    Dudeeee love the colour you chose, made a grave mistake of choosing blue and now I have no idea what to do with it 🙁
    Looks great with the shades of green + pink!!

    Love this look! The colors work well together. I hardly ever wear color, but I’m trying to change that. It seems as though your whole wardrobe is full of color.

    This outfit reminds me of my “preppie” days, minus the heels of course. I think I wore white laced up skippies back then. Cute look though. Those heels are sweet 🙂
