A Pink Lemonade Cupcake Outfit Post


I am trying my hardest to wear more pink and lighter colors.
I found this top tucked away in my closet, forgotten and almost sent away to the Salvation Army years ago.
I am glad I kept it because it is exactly the kind of top I was talking about in this post.



This outfit is a great weekend outfit.
Perfect for shopping, going to the bookstore, and eating at the new crepe shop down the street.  
Nothing too strenuous!



I've been preparing for a few upcoming photo shoots by increasing the incline on the treadmill.
The results are minimal except for an insane increase in the definition on my calves.
I joke that my calves are bigger than all my male dancing friends.
It is sadly true.




 I also have been having an intense craving for pink frosting.  
I zested some lemons in the cupcake batter so
I'm calling them Pink Lemonade Cupcakes.  
Very deserving after those intense treadmill sessions.





Full disclosure?  
This post almost didn't go up today.  Let's just say it was a bad face day.  But I couldn't deny the cupcakes their debut to the blogging world, right?  And what's the fun in wearing amazing shoes and not showing  them to all your friends?  Again, shoes and sweets win!

I know we all have our own esteem issues, but if it's any consolation, you are as beautiful as the cupcakes! Also, I'm insanely jealous of your calves. I'm going to have to try the incline.

PS. that would mean so much for you to find out more info on NYC housing for this summer! If you can, email me at inherstilettos(at)gmail(dot)com.

Brandi {not your average ordinary} said...

I'm sorry -- "bad face day"? I think that's impossible for you. You're gorgeous, embrace it. The outfit is adorable and now I'm SO craving a cupcake. Why did Sprinkles have to go and open practically next door? Sigh. Put one in the mail to me?

(And the flowers you saw on Unstitched are lilacs. They're my favorites and I'd know them anywhere.)

Lady Grey said...

Fabulous! You're adorable! I love this outfit - especially that scarf.
