Lily White Embroidered Skirt + Forever21 Haltered Top

It’s Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend and spent fabulous time with your mothers! To all the moms out there, belated Happy Mother’s Day!

I had planned on shooting pictures of my mom and feature her on this blog for Mother’s Day but things turned a bit sour on Friday when we had to rush my grandma to the emergency. Needless to say, my weekend was pretty much spent in the hospital – intensive care unit to be more specific. Grandma is stable so far, thank God. She’s a strong woman I must say. Always fighting for her life.

But just as it is anything in life…the show must go on. :) I love this quote by William Purkey:

“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching,
Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like there’s nobody listening,
And live like it’s heaven on earth.”

Now on to my outfit…this pretty little embroidered skirt (c/o) was from Lily White Clothing, the sister company of As U Wish (that red high-low dress I wore here). I loved how it made me looked like a little ballerina paired with my Forever21 haltered top (very old in fact, it’s about 3 years old but worn it only about 3 or 4 times) gracefully embellished with my Bogart necklace (c/o) from Peppermint Chic and my hair put in a bun so high it’s like I have a tower on my head, lol. The whole thing matched perfectly with my new favorite Olivia pumps (c/o) from ShoeMint. Oh and I finally got to wear this amazing friendship bracelets (c/o) from Viola Jane Designs!

Since I’ve been wearing lots of brights lately I’ve been looking like a candy, thought it’d be nice to have some basic colors like black and nude. What do you think?
