Monochromatic Fuschia Look
This past month, I entered a few giveaways and I was very happy to win a $100 giveway from I’ll have what she’s wearing! It actually took me a minute to decide what I wanted to get as there were a number of things that caught my eye. One of the first pieces I chose was this fuschia top with a v-neck. I wore it with a denim skirt for a reel and have another idea for a July post but today, I thought it would be fun to share a bright monochromatic look.
My son and I went to the “duck pond” to take some pictures and I have a little adventure to share about my pictures. First of all, there was a family around and I felt a little conspicuous taking pictures. Before even taking the first picture, I thought something fell on me. I didn’t discover what had happened till just before we drove off.
My little fuschia shorts are an old printed pair from Old Navy (I kept this one and a orange pair), the Michael Kors purse a hand me down and my sandals are a comfortable pair of Steve Madden I found at DSW a year or so ago. The bracelet I found at an estate sale a couple years ago. I was very impressed with how the different tones of fuschia worked together.
To continue our adventure, my son and I got in the car to head towards the gym. I felt my ear and realized “Oh no, where is my earring? Did we take all of these pictures with just one earring?”. Yes, we did! Neither of us wanted to retake the pictures so I am sorry these are not the best they could be. But where was the earring?
I remembered hearing the strange sound of something falling and realized it must have been my earring. I headed that way and saw it on the ground ahead of me but had to jump in surprise (and a little fright). There was a long snake in the dirt! I jumped over him, got my earring and circled around him to get back to the car.
That was my blogging adventure for the day. I really like how this top flows and how simple it is so it will be very versatile. I love the color and I am glad I chose it!

I always feel awkward when there are people around when I’m taking photos. You wear fuschia so well! Love this monochrome look! I’m so glad you found your earring!

Thanks, Jill! It’s not so bad when we are on vacation and people are taking pictures (which is why I took advantage of New Orleans to take blog pics) but otherwise I feel pretty weird.

Congrats on winning a $100 prize! That’s amazing! You are gorgeous in this color, Mireille! And, I would have definitely left the earring there until the snake was gone!

It was really fun to win something. Summer brings the snakes out I guess.
Jodie Filogomo
Gosh, at least you found your earring, although the snake would have freaked me out, LOL!!

Thanks, Jodie! That was definitely something different for me. My friend and I saw a snake last night as we were walking in the neighborhood. I probably need to warn the boys!
Joanne
I hadn’t noticed the one earring until you pointed it out! Oh well, I wouldn’t have retaken the photos either. It’s a cute outfit and just perfect for summer with those bright colors.
mimifce
Thanks, Joanne! My son was heading to the gym or something so that was it for pics!
Maureen
I love this look! The colors are beautiful and yay for getting your earring back. I usually don’t retake pictures either as neither the hubby or my son has the patience for that! Unless of course, there’s a bribe…lol I hope your week is going good so far and happy Wednesday!

They take enough pictures and I sometimes have them retake my ootd a couple times so a whole set, no that wouldn’t work. It is much better now that I pay the kids for pictures instead of giving them allowance.

Love this monochrome look on you!

I love fuschia – it’s such a great shade of pink and this monochrome outfit looks awesome on you – even with just one earring! I’m glad you were able to find the other!
