hand me some color.

i'm still sick, guys.
second week of major sinus pressure headaches,
fever, and body aches.
and, my inflamed sinuses are causing my upper teeth to hurt.
(yes, my dentist told me!)
that said, i've been too achey to get creative with
outfits this week.
today, for example, a pink floral skirt with a
pink shirt to match.
totally uninspiring, i know. bear with me.
by the way, typical forever 21 skirt...wrinkled, stretched out, and lost its shape by mid-day.

let's focus on the nails, shall we?
with all this talk about color blocking,
i was inspired to do some.
my wardrobe may be lacking in the color department,
but my box of polishes isn't.

(top & skirt, f21; sweater, urban outfitters; shoes, aldo)

new items added to the marketplace.

So sorry you are sick. Hope you feel better soon.
Love your mani. I need to buy some french tip kit as I want to try the look sa well. I put on a green polish last night and was thinking it would have been cool to color block it with hot pink but needed the stickers. Next time.
