Little Black Hearts

Shopping in Wet Seal, I saw a cute top.  Lime green with little black hearts.  I snapped it up but then was confused how to wear it.  A youthful piece like this can become gaudy if combined with other bright colors.  So I decided to play the top down by surrounding it with black.

How would you have worn this?


 

 

 

 
 
Oh, and a thank you to Debbie who sent me these earrings in the mail today.

  2. I think this is a great pairing, especially with the leather-style skirt. That's definitely a great way to balance the sweetness of the hearts.

  4. I certainly couldn't have done any better but I'll bet you'll find more ways to wear it. It's a cute top.

  5. Super cute! I would have worn the shirt like you did with a black pencil skirt for a work look and jeans and tall black boots for a night out look. Love your cocktail ring too :) Heather

  6. That's probably how I would have styled it - a nice cardi to kind of dull down the green a little bit. I really like it, I think it's adorable!

    And so happy you can comment on my blog again - I'd miss hearing from you otherwise! :)

  7. Strong skirt topped off well with the softness of your tee and the cardi ... lovely pairing Ally.

  11. Lovely job, Ally! That's a great (unsweetened!) heart pattern, and the belted sweater and full skirt are marvellous on your figure.

  14. You're so sweet! I love you!
    And if you try this look with leather shorts (which is the trend of autumn) with a skirt like this? I think you would be nice, but we need more accessories rock or gothic style)

  17. Totally sexy and stylish! I love what you did with this. I'm crazy about black skirts, black tights, and black shoes together. It creates an amazing long line, and you have the advantage of being tall, with long beautiful legs.
