Orange You Glad?

So yesterday I found this adorable orange skirt.  I know..

orange.

And I for one wasn't expecting it to go with much.  But... then I got home and right before my eyes were pretty much endless possibilities. 

Just think of it... Honestly this skirt goes with all of these:

*aqua cardigan

*chambray buttondown

*white tees

*grey tees

*this white blousey top I have

*a blue and white gingham top (and of course the striped one I'm wearing in the pictures)

*pinks

*yellow (depends on the piece)

*and navy is soooo cute with it!

So today I picked a navy and white striped blouse (buttoned up pretty high for a little cheekier/nerdy take on it...but that's just me!) with the bright orange skirt, yellow t-straps, and my go-to olive crossbody bag.  

Just ignore the really ugly red wristband... I'm having a competition with my friend to see who can keep theirs on longer.  But there's that olive bag! Satchel maybe? I never know.  I can't keep up with all the special names and such. 

The yellow shoes up the brightness on this outfit, so fun and springy but still classy!



So I tried a new thing with my hair today.... found it in my new Lucky mag!



So first of all I started with blowdrying my hair.  They say not to worry about getting it all perfect and smooth for this (and since I hate blowdrying that was a relief), and that it actually works better if your hair's a bit frizzy!


Next? I curled it.  I used a couple different sizes of hot rollers, making sure all the rolls go the same direction.  Left those in for 10-20 minutes-ish.

Then took my curlers out... let my hair cool for just a few minutes... and then I very, very gently brushed through it! And voila! So pretty! It gives your curls a kind of retro-look, if that makes any sense.  And it actually turned out way better than I'd expected.

So last but not least I swept back one side and pinned it with these two cute jeweled bobby pins.  A perfect understated little bling.

I know you can't really see the pins.... I couldn't get a good pic of them.  But basically they were these darling J. Crew bobby pins with different little jewels on the tips.  Cute, huh?




Love, Reagan
