Sensible Stylista: luxe craving

Today's look of the day features a sheer blouse that I previously showcased back in April (click HERE to see how I styled it then). The aforementioned look is pretty preppy - think style with ease in a county club setting, ha! Hence, I tried to create an edgier look for contrast. This pairing is trendier in nature due to the bold juxtaposition of prints.

I definitely wouldn't have been able to pull this look off a couple of weeks ago. It was just too hot. I probably would've passed out from heat stroke, but the weather's cooled down a bit so I felt more comfortable sporting darker colors.

I feel so lucky to have worked with Selena from Luxe Craving. Both of the pieces she sent me were absolutely stunning, and I had a blast featuring them on Sensible Stylista. If you guys missed my first review, click HERE! Selena, being the sweetie that she is, actually named the piece after me! If you'd like to purchase the "Kimberly Fringe Necklace", clicky HERE! If you guys haven't checked out her store yet, make sure to do so! Here are some of my favorite picks (excluding the ones I reviewed of course):

For today's post, I've centered my look around mint & fuchsia accessories. As ya'll know, I'm a huge fan of unique and fun color combinations, so when I received these gorgeous new pieces in the mail (bag + necklace), I just HAD to showcase them together.

I wore an oversized blush blouse and paired it with white shorts to highlight the top's trim. I knotted the top because I didn't have any cute belts that matched my outfit's color scheme. It works out though, since the knot functions as a faux-belt.
