Living For Lilac OOTD

Living For Lilac OOTD

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new OOTD here on lifewithlilred! After getting my hair and tattoos done, I was feeling like a whole new woman and couldn’t wait to show it off. And, what better way to do that than with some OOTD pics?! With pink lemonade hair, I wanted to invoke all of the warm, spring vibes and sported an adorable matching skirt and top set. This look was pure fun to wear and with matching sets being so incredibly popular, it is very easy to replicate. Check it out:

Who? What? Wear?

Crop Top: Altar’d State

Bodycon Skirt: Altar’d State

Jean Jacket: Ci Sono, TJMaxx

Speech Bubble Heels: LFL, TJMaxx

I have no idea where the daisy earrings are from!

When I began styling this outfit, I had skirts on the mind because I wanted my tattoos to be visible. I browsed the several bodycon skirts in my collection and was coming up blank. Honestly, what you see above is a last resort because I wasn’t sure it was still going to fit. I purchased the matching crop top and skirt set three years ago from Altar’d State! Despite having a few butterflies in my basket about trying it on, I gave it a go anyways and it fit like a glove. Not overly tight, but not loose either which is exactly what you want for a matching set.

The beauty of a matching set is that your whole outfit is basically styled with minimal think work. This made for a very easy outfit building session for your girl! Before I moved onto shoes and accessories, I wanted to add one more piece to the outfit for variety and in case it was chilly out. I went with a patchwork jean jacket by Ci Sono, which fit the girly sweet vibe of the outfit perfectly. The lighter wash also complimented the soft lilac of the matching set. A good jean jacket is a spring staple and it’s also a neutral so you can wear it with almost anything and get away with it!

With the base of the outfit settled, it was time to wrap things up with shoes and accessories. For shoes, I chose a pair of speech bubble heels by LFL in cobalt blue. These added a punchy pop of color, length, and also didn’t break up my leg line too extremely with the low ankle strap. Since a ton of my tattoos were showing and that serves as an accessory in itself, I kept jewelry minimal and put on the cutest pair of daisy earrings as a nod to the beautiful blooms of spring. With that, I was ready to show off my brand new look!

I absolutely love my Living For Lilac OOTD and can’t think of a better look to introduce Lil Red 2.0 with. Stay tuned for the blooper reel coming soon!
