OOTD: Turquoise Pumps

I found this super cute Chanel inspired sweater cardigan from Forever 21 and it was so cute I just had to take it home. 

Unfortunately after I got home I realized that it made me look SO matronly so it sat untouched in my closet for nearly six months.  SIX MONTHS! 

After several failed attempts at styling this cardigan I jazzed it up with liquid leggings and some colorful pumps! 

Here's the end result what do you guys thinks?








I Forever 21 Faux Chanel Cardigan I LOFT Layered Tank Dress I
I Romeo & Juliet Couture Liquid Leggings I Kenneth Jay Lane Earrings I
I Christian Louboutin New Simples 120's I Chanel m/l Lace Flap I

    I don't think you look matronly at all! Very cute with the pop of turquoise. I am super jealous of all your designer pieces Lisa, but you are also so great at mixing high and low! :)

    Have a great week!

    I adore an entire ensemble of your outfit, bag and shoes. The F21 cardigan is so Chanel at a fraction of the cost, I wish I bought one (I want, I want!!). I bought a Chanel inspired jacket from there since several months ago but don't know how to style it just yet. F21 is so good at copying designer pieces, but quality is a hit or miss. Their stuff are so trendy and super affordable which I love.

    The pumps add a splash of fun color. Love Your flap!!!!

    thanks for the tips on the miumiu vs. prada pumps. the little gold plate IS quite adorable... but i actually prefer the color of the miu mius (a little more nude, less pink). i'll need to go to the store and walk around in them a little bit before i take the plunge.

    Hey Lisa,
    It looks great on you. I don't think it's matronly either and it definitely could work with a preppy look too like over a red cotton dress or something.

    OMG, those heels are so hot on you and I love the liquid leggings. They're really flattering
