I Still Get Lucky

I’ve discovered that the simplest way to cancel an unwanted magazine subscription is to close the credit card that’s being billed. Now, I no longer get InStyle.

But the Lucky bill was paid before I cancelled the card, so I’m still getting that magazine. And I still find inspiration.


Blazer, Odds ‘n Evens (thrifted). Blouse, Forever 21. Skirt, thrifted (no label). Shoes, Sigerson Morrison for Target. Bag, Nicole Lee. Tassel pendant, Epcot Morocco. Arrowhead pendants, thrifted. Spiked wrap bracelet, thrifted. Sparkly bracelet, Birch Hill’s. Silver bracelet, Deb. Tights, We Love colors.

I saved this page from a recent issue’s How To: Wear Color section.

Lucky’s “How To” and “What I Want Now” features are often my favorite parts of the magazine. I’ve been inspired to copy ensembles from those pages many times.

Today's inspiration page was intended to help black-lovers incorporate some color into their wardrobe. Obviously, I don't need any encouragement to wear color, but I did like the outfit shown on the right enough to create my own version.


Lucky’s styling and mine.
