Pastel Palette

Lightening up my current wardrobe (& mindset) with Forever 21.

As temperatures start to dip & the holidays continue to sneak up on us, it's only natural to feel a little unprepared for what's to come. Add to that the fact that it's an election year and that this one in particular has been a circus (to say the least) and if you're anything like me sh*t is getting real dark, real quick. Wardrobe included.

My go-to outfits the past month? All black everything. Think a pair of black jeans or overalls topped with a cozy coat. Or an LBD and black knee high boots. It was definitely time to shake things up. 

So when Forever 21 asked me to partner together to highlight a few of my favorite new Fall items, I was more than happy to step out of my somber routine & lighten things up a bit. My first picks? This light grey duster and stark white choker, both of which I knew would inject a bit of playful edge back into my life. Paired with a super-warm sweater and worn-in denim, they perfectly complemented my all-white look. And in the end, some peachy-keen heels and reflective shades rounded out the cheery, pastel vibes. 

But sadly, while I might be feeling easy-breezy at the moment, I know that feeling is fleeting. Let's hope the results of tomorrow's election help keep my spirit alive! I usually try not to get too political on the blog or in my social, but: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE get out there and VOTE tomorrow! Preferably for someone that actually has a chance at winning, is qualified for the position and is not a misogynistic, pathological liar and bigot. 

Oh, and if I haven't yet made it clear, #imwithher.
