With 25 days until Oaks Day, today’s look is inspired by the annual Friday race that will be here before we know it.  Each year a pink out is held, as I shared in my last Derby post.  I decided to go with a pink fascinator and accessories with a white dress.

This fascinator is by far one of my favorites that I ordered: under $12, free two day shipping, and tulle, pom poms, fun netting and feathers?! I was sold! Sadly, it’s sold out in pink, but I’ve linked a similar option that also doesn’t break the bank and shows up on your door step in two days.

My pink clutch and multi strain hot pink beaded necklace seemed like the perfect choices in my head so I was thrilled when they matched my fascinator.  I went with a brown-nude matte lipstick that’s super affordable, but I wanted it to appear a little pinker than usual, so I applied it over my Kylie lip liner in Posie K.  I broke down and ordered one of the lip kits a few weeks ago because I was curious after watching some YouTube videos where the quality was said to be much better than the ColourPop mattes I wear quite a bit.

I have to say that I agree with the beauty gurus; the formula of her liquid lipstick isn’t drying which is rare to find with a matte lipstick and has incredible lasting power. Typically, I find myself up a creek without a paddle if I eat after applying matte lipstick. It runs, it smears easily and it needs to be reapplied. Unfortunately, with ColourPop, I’ve found that reapplication leads to a crumbly lip that isn’t very attractive.

Kylie’s lipstick lasts through drinking, eating {non-oily foods}, washing your face, etc. {If you’re wondering how to remove, I use coconut oil!}. She is re-stocking several of the mattes as well as her glosses {which I haven’t tried yet} today at 3 pm EST, if you’re interested in trying to order a kit.

SheIn is one of my favorite places to look for trendy and affordable pieces.  Right now I have my eye on some of these pretty pieces:

How gorgeous is the back of this dress?! While I’m usually drawn to blue, I ended up ordered this in white. I love the way the back attaches together at the top before opening up down to the waist. This dress is lined in the front of the torso portion and the skirt of the dress has a light lining as well.  While the top was fine with the very light lining {I’m wearing this sticky bra}, the lining of the skirt wasn’t enough with my darker skin so I pulled out this mini length slip {under $10, I’m wearing latte}.  If you don’t own a slip, I would highly recommend purchasing one as mine comes in handy pretty frequently during the spring and summer months.
