Skippy Says: LYLIF review (Skippy Reviews)

When I was younger, I always shied away from wearing red and orange because I was told they didn't look good on redheads. You know I say to that now? Pshaw. Oh that's right, I went there. P-shaw. Orange is now at the top of my favorite colors list, so when LYLIF contacted me about picking out an item from their shop to style, it's no surprise I immediately gravitated to the orange houndstooth scarf. I love orange. I love houndstooth. And you all know how I love a good scarf.

Although LYLIF carries a whole beautiful range of clothes, they focus on unique and trendy accessories and jewelry for women at affordable prices. As you can probably tell from the fact that all of my clothes are bought on sale, I'm a cheap immigrant I am all about affordable prices. If you like the scarf, make sure to check them out, they have a lot of adorable accessories that would make great little gifts!








Shop:
- Banana Republic Factory store top (Bought on sale circa 2008, no longer available. Buy similar here or here)
- Banana Republic Factory store short sleeve sweater (Bought on sale ale circa 2008, no longer available. Buy kind of similar here)

- c/o LYLIF scarf (Buy here)
- Anthropologie boots (Black Friday find for $65. Buy here)

    Great choice on the scarf! It's a great color mixture and pattern. Plus, it looks fab with your hair down :) Oh, and those boots are to die for. So cute!

    Your hair! I love it! I think I prefer the short length on you - it looks SO cute!

    Cute outfit as always, and I'm so happy you started wearing orange. I hate those "redhead color rules" and I saw P-Shaw to them too!

    Coveting those boots. Are they sort of a reddish shade or more brown. Either way - LOVE. You have magic Anthro powers, I swear.

    1) LOVING the haircut.
    2) You styled this scarf so well! I like how you managed to keep the colors in balance.
    3) Those boots! They did not jump out at me online at all, but they look fantastic on you. What a steal for $65!

  53. KelseyDecember 7, 2011 at 7:01 PM

    SQUEEEEAL! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that scarf! Whoever told redheads that they're not allowed to wear orange needs to have their heads checked. Then again, I apparently have authority issues, so the minute someone tells me not to do something, I immediately do exactly that. Because, as we've discussed before, I'm a petulant three-year-old at heart. Let us all up that no one ever tells me NOT to press the red button that will begin Judgment Day.
