My Lips Are Red!

So...Annie Clark of St. Vincent has a song called "Your Lips are Red" and it is somehow both haunting and adorable in the manner it makes its way into my mind every time I wear red lipstick. St. Vincent to me, will always be the patron saint of red lips.

However, today's outfit was not only because that song popped up on my itunes recently, but also because I have slipped back into being a brunette.  And last summer I was redheaded and that was too matchy-matchy, so here's to a color I can rock much more often during this year's red-hot months. :-)


I wore this to my friend's little sister's high school graduation party. And their parents' house is phenomenally gorgeous, so I really should have tried to sneak some photos there...but instead, here I am again by the brick side of the abandoned house on my own little country street in my college town.
(Oh, Bloomington!)

Heart-shaped sunnies: Urban Outfitters (boyf says I'm over-wearing them...hope not!)

White ruffled blouse & red pencil skirt: Forever 21

Belt: hand-me-down from friend

White flats: vintage, via Etsy

Though I got lots of outfit compliments from both my friend's family members and her friends, I DEFINITELY ate more than I should. So...the only outfit I might be wearing tomorrow is my YOGA one! But we'll see... ;-)
