After seeing two of my favorite bloggers, Beth and Blair sport all red ensembles (here and here respectively), I thought I would try my hand at something monochromatic, too. I rather liked (actually loved!) the results. It's like sartorial caffeine!

pretty {powerful}





Shirt: Zara (similar style here); Shorts: Urban Outfitters (similar style here); Shoes: Valentino (similar style here); Bag: Lodis iPad case (similar style here); Sunglasses: YSL (similar style here); Jewelry: Michael Kors watch, Bee Charming necklace, J. Crew bracelet

The lovely folks over at Bobbi Brown have a pretty fabulous campaign going on right now, aptly called "Pretty Powerful," emphasizing how women, all women, are pretty without makeup and with the right makeup, can be pretty powerful at that. I love the concept of this, namely because I tend to remain pretty neutral with my makeup myself (aside from the necessary lip color pop) but also because it's so very true. A little bit always goes a long way, in my book. 

Of course, after I got to reading some of the "Pretty Powerful" women stories on their campaign site (I highly recommend you do, too) I got to thinking about some of the pretty powerful women in my life -- my mother being the frontrunner. Always true to herself, my mother is one of my biggest influences. She's always taught me to never be afraid of speaking my mind -- even if I'm standing alone. I'm forever grateful for that.
