The Nine-Year-Old Fearing Kelley

Skirt: Thrifted – Belt: Thrifted Clutch: Thrifted Top: Old Navy Necklace: Gift (Mother-in-law)

If my third grade tomboy self saw me wearing red and pink in one outfit AND lipstick to boot, she would beat me up for sure. Strangely enough, my 24 year old self enjoys this combo.  Let’s just hope we don’t invent time machines anytime soon though.  Nine-year-old Kelley has long nails, and she’s a scratcher…

    This is such a well done pink and red combo! I love the details on the sleeves of your shirt.

      Thanks! That’s my favorite thing about this top for sure :)

    You look SO effortlessly beautiful! I love this outfit, and that thirfted clutch is just awesome. Hope you have an awesome Valentines day (and that your 9yr old self doesn’t find you anytime soon). :)

      Effortlessly beautiful is probably one of the biggest compliments anyone can get! Thanks! Oh, and I totally thought of you when I thrifted this clutch. You always seem to find such cute ones.

    super cute outfit. I’m wearing the same color combo in my post today but I’m loving that you paired your red skirt with a lighter pink. You look great:)

    Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Love your pink and red. You look stunning. (I was totally a 9 year old tomboy too… if my 9 year old self could see me now, ha!)

    This outfit is so sweet and classy!

    This is adorable! I love the pink and red together. Your hair looks amazing! I wish mine would do that.

      I wish mine would do it too… I think it’s just the wind hitting it at just the right angle ;)

    Totally–I made a rule for myself when I was 5 that red and pink did NOT go together! Luckily, things have changed! Those colors look great in your outfit! =) I did one today for EBEW, too.

    A very lovely (and girly, dare I say) VDay outfit indeed!

  9. Sherry / Feb 14 2012 9:29 am

    Looks great!

  13. Loren / Feb 14 2012 10:36 am

    I’m sure nine-year-old Kelley would think you were AWESOME. I love the pink & red combo, and that purse is adorable.

  14. Wren / Feb 14 2012 10:45 am

    This is so hot. I love it. Happy Valentine’s Day!

    I love that red skirt!

  16. Daily Jenn / Feb 14 2012 11:25 am

    I love this outfit! You look stunning :) Good thing nine-year-old Kelley isn’t around. Happy Valentine’s Day!

  17. Carrie / Feb 14 2012 12:06 pm

    Very sweet outfit. I particularly love the woven clutch. I think I need to add a red pencil skirt to my closet – it’s classic and versatile. :)

  18. Katha Strophe / Feb 14 2012 12:07 pm

    Love this combination & love the lipstick on you!

  19. Salazar / Feb 14 2012 1:59 pm

    Ha, I think my 9-year-old self would have the same reaction to my outfit. You look great!

  20. BiblioMOMia / Feb 14 2012 2:40 pm

    Gorgeous, simple, and utterly effortless. One of my favorites on you!

  21. Daena / Feb 14 2012 2:49 pm

    This is the look that I so desperately wanted to create for Valentine’s Day, but lacked the components to pull off. Your lip color is va-va-vooming!

  22. Anne / Feb 14 2012 6:43 pm

    My nine-year-old self would have been a little confused by all this red and pink combination going on, but it’s so cute! What a fabulous thrifted skirt.

    Love your red & pink combo, dear! Perfect for Valentine’s Day, obviously :)

    xo,

    Love it! The clutch is a nice addition.

  25. kenda / Feb 14 2012 8:14 pm

    it’s always interesting to consider what your younger self would’ve thought about your current style. that being said, the 5 year old and 25 year old version of me are both scared of wearing pink & red, but you however pulled it off wonderfully. love it.

  26. Maggie J. / Feb 14 2012 9:01 pm

    beautiful! That shade of pink is perfect for pairing with red!

  27. Hannah / Feb 15 2012 12:56 pm

    You look gorgeous! You rock the red + pink trend perfectly.

    I think a lot about how little tomboy me would see me now. I had a deep, deep HATRED of pink/dresses/anything “frilly.” Nine year-old Hannah would probably beat up current Hannah too!

  28. Sam / Feb 15 2012 3:04 pm

    I love this look, you look so pretty! It’s so feminine, which I haven’t seen so much of with the pink/red surprisingly! Such a cute outfit!
