Socks: Forever 21
Boots: Forever 21
Bag: Thrifted
Rings: Assorted silver

Let me tell you something about me. I don't like teal. I also don't like people who whistle, mashed potatoes, and spray tans, but those are entirely different issues. Brooke pushed me out of my comfort zone here, and I can't say I'm upset about it. She has opened my eyes to the possibilities of teal. I'm not going to budge on the spray tan thing though.

It's give teal a chance Tuesday

  1. You should absolutely give teal a chance, it's such a great color for you. It really brings out the warmth in your skin tone. Who needs spray tans when you can just wear a pretty dress instead?

  28. I think teal looks great on you eventhough you don't like it. And that's so funny, because I think whistling is so annoying so I definitely agree with you there. hehe Cool blog, I like your style.
