I never thought the day would come where I would proudly wear something very, very...pink. I think we both have a mutual dislike for each other, haha. I kinda grew up with a natural aversion to overtly feminine, frilly things, which is weird considering some of the ladies I'm closest to wear florals and head-to-toe pink on the regular. I guess polar opposites do attract in that sense.

Once in awhile though, I encounter pieces that challenge my "fundamental" sensibilities, and I could most def say that about this shocking pink beanie from Creative Caprice. Since I wear black, white and black/white most of the time, this adds a good focal point. Plus points for beanies being the perf "sucky hair day" accessory, right?

I also would love to send a super special thank you high five to the girls over at The Nerve Clothing for sending in this bitchin' crisp white moto vest from their collection as a gift. Very much wanted and tried to order it, but TNC decided to ship it as a present instead along with a few things, which was quite an unexpected treat. Presents aside, I've been a HUGE fan of their shop for awhile now for being on-the-pulse with what's trendy-- and offering lower-priced quality alternatives. Decided to wear it with my new Forever 21 leather skirt with slits, which I got on super super sale. Seriously, how awesome is Forever 21 when they go on sale? I always make a beeline for the leather items as they are usually the most discounted.
