Thursday Moda #170: Shoulder Game.

If you have been reading my blog the last couple of posts, you know that I have been dealing with a lot of things at home: broken things, endless phone calls to fix things and computer issues among others. I am not a computer genius but I did a diagnosis and reset of my lap-top and now it is working a lot better. Hallelujah! I am finally able to work quicker so before it breaks again lol, I edited today's photos and put together this Thursday Moda post for you. So here it goes!

SHOULDER  GAME.

Now that the temperatures have warmed up a lot - 60s and 70s here and actually today it was as high as 80 degrees - you can totally play up your shoulders. Put your shoulder game into motion and wear those pretty tops and blouses that are off-the-shoulders, feature ruffles around the neckline, one shoulder or big statement sleeves like a high-up shoulder or an origami shoulder/sleeve. Shop your closet for such tops or if you don't own one, purchase a couple of new pretty tops that will showcase your shoulders. I did just that recently wearing this Pretty + Feminine Pastel Floral Blouse with Frilly Cap Sleeves (the blouse is from Loft). I decided to wear the blouse with its neckline normally, but it can be worn off the shoulders too. That way it elongates the neck and you could do a pretty necklace with it or apply some shimmery body powder. I paired my pretty blouse with my Cobalt Blue-ish Purple Harper Pants by Old Navy, my favorite Nude Ballet Flats (these are nude patent leather ones with skinny bows, by Banana Republic) and wore a Colorful Multi-Stranded Stretchy Bracelet in one hand and a Gold Pave+Pearl Bracelet on the other. Now, the thing I am not sure of is these giant Lavender Sunglasses I purchased off a friend of mine who owns a local boutique. I am all about supporting friends, local boutiques and small businesses. The glasses are fun and unique but I don't think the frames suit my face. They are too bold for me, I think. My mom hated them on me on this day (when I wore them with this outfit; I actually haven't worn them since). But the color of the glass is so pretty against the sun-rays and of course I love the pastel lavender of the frames. Plus these sunglasses certainly match these Flower Tassel Lavender Statement Earrings (on clearance by Target) to perfection. Overall, I do like this colorful and bright outfit. It is girly, put-together, colorful and very me. What do you think of this look and what do you think of the sunglasses on me?! Be honest - honesty is best!

I failed Thursday Moda last week therefore the linkup was light. But I did like some outfits featuring pretty skirts and dresses. Let's look below.

Amy rocked 'Flowers, Stripes and Camo'. Love the feminine and elegant way she wore a cropped peach cardigan over a beautiful rose-print maxi.

My friend Lorena always looks polished and loves black+white (or in this case cream) looks. I used  to own a couple of these Bubble Necklaces and I want to find one again and purchase it. She is in a beautiful 'Bubble Bust' with that colorful aqua necklace.

Speaking of colorful, look at those Americana stripes on Lisa's Aventura dress looking cute+comfy with nude Millers. I am a huge fan of a 'Swing Dress', even better if it has pockets.

Last but not least I love the combination of chocolate, camel and baby blue on Ruth's outfit. Those 'Abeo Mules' are the perfect color pop in this elegant+modern outfit of Ruth's.
