Hot Pink Hibiscus

I know I know, every Monday all everyone has to say is how very short the weekend was.  But this one seemed extra super duper short!  I think it also passed 100 degrees in temperature, so this is what I wore for a quick trip to the pool.

Outfit Details:
Dress - c/o August Wrinkle
Sunnies - c/o Sunglass Warehouse
Woven Bracelet - Mitla Moda (similar)
Sandals - hand-me-downs
Necklace - handmade by me!

This dress definitely could be dressed up and seem fancy, but the light floaty layers and hot pink color make it a perfect pool cover up too.  I paired it with a pair of folding sunglasses from Sunglass Warehouse (they literally fold up until their pocket -sized!), a matching woven fair trade bracelet from Mitla Moda, and a neon fringe necklace I made.
     In high school and through college, I actually had my own small jewelry line called Tropichannah (get it... Tropicana... tropic hannah...okay then).  I had a little shop on Etsy and also made custom pieces and sets for special occasions, like bridesmaids jewelry for two of my cousins weddings.  I then moved to Colorado, started my career in the environmental field, and my hobby fell a bit to the wayside.  But now that I run my vintage shop full time, I am having a really good time getting back into some of my favorite creative passions, and am actually planning on launching a handmade shop on Etsy in the next few months too! This actually has been a plan in the works for awhile now, but since I am wearing a fringe necklace that would be in the shop, I thought it seemed like a good time to mention it here!  The handmade shop will also have a charitable component as well, with a portion of proceeds being donated to a cause I feel very passionately about - can anyone guess?! Anyway, let me know what you think, and if you have ideas for other colors your would like to see, etc., I would love to hear!

Hot Pink

Hi guys!  Thanks for all of your kind words about my new red hair from last post.  It's always so nice to be part of such a supportive community of bloggers, that's for sure!
Outfit Details: Dress- c/o August Wrinkle // Necklace - c/o Oasap // Handwoven Mexican Bracelet - Mitla Moda // Heels - thrifted

     In this outfit I went a bit outside of my comfort zone with a hot pink dress from August Wrinkle.  I loved the floaty chiffon layers and uneven hem but it was a bit more neon than I usually go for.  I am glad I tried it out though because I felt more like a rockstar in it than my normal grandma gear, and even R gave it a thumbs up ;)  I wore it with my favorite bracelet to pair with bright colored summer outfits from Dusana's non profit shop Mitla Moda!  Her shop is filled with these woven bracelets handmade in Mexico and there are a ton of beautiful color options to choose from!
     This may be one of my new photo locations for the blog.  It is right by R's apartment and there is a ton of open space with beautiful mountain views in the background.  I may have to share the spot with the hundreds of Prairie Dogs frolicking around the field though.
     Well, this is day three of twelve days of work in a row.  You guys can help me count the days down so I remain sane!  Hope you're having a great week!
