So this is how I converted what would have been another monochrome look into something different. While I stuck to a neutral palette, I made sure to add in some interesting accessories that stood out but still complimented everything else (including the purple wall well).
What I'm ecstatic about here is (I know I don't look like I am) is that today we host a new giveaway where a lucky reader can win a Daniel Wellington watch of their choice (More on this at the bottom). Of course when it came to picking my own DW watch, I picked the purple canvas strap without any hesitation, because I've always been partial to that colour. My sweet little DW watch is accompanied by two very dainty and pretty bracelets by Silvette, both of which added interesting colours to my otherwise neutral look.
Finally I finished off with lipstick and shoes that matched and were purposely pink in support for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Both my pink accessories have a story behind them. The lipstick is a random non-branded piece which I bought only because the packaging was amazing, and by amazing I mean it was animal print. It was very cheap and questionable buy, but it's one of the long lasting shades I own currently! Also talking about cheap will make these pretty shoes with the bows fall in the same category. While I was in a mall in Dubai, we came across some random 'shoe mart' store and after I finished browsing, I saw these heels, with a few others, lying in the corner away from the rest. If there's something you need to know about me, that is I easily fall for shoes that have thick platforms and a well shaped heel or in regular terms are really high. So of course I wanted these and luckily the only pair left happened to be in my size. So when I asked for the price, the woman there pointed to a hand drawn sign that said '10 dirhams' and said they were damaged pieces and were hence selling for less. The damage was a few scratches, which are really normal, because all my shoes have scratches after a couple of uses. So when I went to the checkout counter I then realized these shoes were also marked 50% off like the rest of the shoes in that store. So say hello to the cheapest pair of shoes I own - which roughly are 82 rupees or below 1.5$ and let me know if you can beat that price and have shoes that are more awesome than mine!
