When Pink Ruffles Meet Black Feathers

01/19/18 | aldo, Fashion Friday, Kate Spade, Nordstrom, Shopbop

Black Vest, Pink Shirt, and Over the Knee Boots

Hello, hello Friday! I am so happy to see and even though it was a short week it was definitely a jam packed one! As some of you guesses on Instagram last night, I am heading down to D.C. this weekend for one more weekend of travel before two weeks off.  It is my university’s alumni weekend I will get to see another great basketball game which I am excited about.  But enough of that for now – let’s talk about this outfit.   My go-to look is all black so I love when I can add a pop of color like this cerise / punk hue and this black feather vest is a little extra but I love it. 

The boots are new too – I have a pair of great Steve Madden over the knee boots since college but one time too many led to a very loose and wobbly heel and I wanted to make sure I got a new pair before they snapped one day when I was out walking – enter this great pair from Aldo which are currently 50% off!  And last but not least even though these black jeans might not look like anything special they fit phenomenally and I wear them all the time – you can find them here, here, and, here.

What do you think of the pink ruffle and black feather look? 

I really like it paired with my new Black Over the Knee Boots even if you can’t see them that well with these black pants!

    Love those boots. Too glorious for me. I might have to get up the guts to buy a pair. Love your style too!

    Great combination. Flirty with a bit of sassy thrown in. Good job.

    I love the look, and think the boots do look good with these pants, it could easily be too busy with more colors, etc. I have over the knee boots very fitted, too, I hope I get my use out of them before they go out of style. Is the vest maribou? I have a cute cream colored maribou shrug.

    I like the look. I do like the boots with the pants. I have very fitted over the knee boots like this, I hope I get use out of them before they go out of style. Is the vest maribou? I have a cute cream colored shrug maribou.

    I love your pink top with your stylish feather vest and those over the knee high heel boots. I can still see the boots but a skirt in this case would be better so that the boots stand out more. The black jeans as much as I like them in this case hides the boots but will keep you warm. Meanwhile have a great time in DC this weekend.
