Outfit: Turquoise and Grey...and 1st Giveaway - **Update**

Greetings Fashionistas,

Happy Friday good people! I am SO happy to see the weekend. I had to take a breather from all social networking, blogging, emails, etc. I had a research project due that I honestly waited until the last minute to complete. So I have been experiencing some self-induced stress for the past couple of days. Then, yesterday, when the "rough draft" of my project was due......I find out the other two researchers didn't have their part. WTH??? I could have used the 50 hours of sleep I've neglected for my poor body. You know I read them the riot act right? I couldn't be too mad because as I said previously, that's what I get for waiting until the last minute. SMH Anyhew, I have a slight reprieve so I'm going to work hard on being effective with my time.

So, as promised, today marks the start of my GIVEAWAY! Yaayyyyyyy!!! One of you fabulous readers will receive the following $50.00 gift card courtesy of Fashion Pad!



So here are the rules:

1. Follow me on http://twitter.com/#!/FashionPad OR follow this blog via Google Friend Connect (GFC)

2. Leave a comment on this post with your email address OR Twitter username

The giveaway begins today and ends Wednesday, November 9, 2011. The winner will be chosen via a random draw. Good luck lovelies! I wish I could give you ALL a gift :-)


Last night, after I recouped a little from sleep deprivation, I caught up with a friend for a little chat. I really wanted to wear these turquoise pants and I was trying to tone down the bright color. I started out with a black top but it was just too drab. I then decided to pair with grey because it's a neutral color that complements most colors without brightening the hue. Take a look below to see what I mean.



I have the most serious case of "bed head" hair going on, LOL!


These jeans are super bright and I think the grey top provides a really great balance.


Cool statement necklace that I MUST use more often.




Did I tell you guys I absolutely LOVE dolman/batwing sleeves? I don't know what the draw is in particular, but they're so fun.



Oh my that hair, lol.



Necklace - Vintage
Top and jeans - Forever 21
Rings - Street vendors

Arrivederci!
