Wearing Neutrals: Mixing Brown, Black & Gray (OOTD) & Glitzy-Glam Purchase

Hello ladies!  I am so excited because I came home today to a package I've been expecting!  You may know that popular YouTube beauty gurus, sisters Elle and Blair have an online shop called glitzy-glam.  I saw one of Blair's videos where she was showing a cute makeup bag and I thought it would be perfect for our upcoming trip so I bought one when they were 20% off.  The best part---they are personalized!

I have to say that customer-service wise I was very pleasantly surprised.  Their mom, Melisa, runs the online store and responded to a question I emailed about in less than 24 hours.  The shipping is also super-fast. I got mine in a few days.

Here is the one I chose---black waffle weave, bubblegum pink monogram, "block" font and "paradise polka dot" ribbon:

I love that the inside is plastic-lined because it makes for easy cleaning!  Overall I am very satisfied with my experience with their online store.  I wouldn't really buy the other items they have available, but these personalized makeup bags are too cute to pass up if you travel a lot!

Today I wore a lot of neutrals: black, gray and brown.  Here's my outfit:
Dress- Marshalls
Tights- Hue
Belt- Papaya (came with a dress I bought)
Boots- Jessica Simpson Alany Knee High Boot
Cardigan- Express
I hope everyone had a great day and is looking forward to Friday!  Does anyone have any fun weekend plans? I'm going to go return some recent purchases and spend time with family.

xoxo,

Veronika.

I have been loving grey and camel/brown together lately. It looks so fresh. I love this outfit on you, those boots are fantastic!

I like this alot! To me, it's a bit unexpected that the dress works so great with the boots, tights and cardigan but I really love it! It also looks comfy and that is just my thing.

@jennifer---eeeeppp! I paid about $169 for them at Nordstrom!

Thanks so much everyone for your lovely comments :) I wasn't 100% sure about this outfit when I first put it on but then when I took a few shots I thought it was pretty cute and kept it on! :)

That dress is so cute. I haven't been in my Marshall's b/c the one where I grew up was so awful (Almeda Mall, anyone?). Maybe I should give it another try.

I LOVE that makeup bag.

Beautygirl24 said...

This is probably one of your cutest outfits ever! I love the mix of neutrals. I will use it as inspiration, since I own very similar pieces in the same colors. Thanks Veronika =)
