I was mildly obsessed with my outfit today, so I took a picture in the bathroom. One of my students regarded it as J.Crew meets the 80s. I’ll take it. Not pictured, some fierce black pointy pumps.
Naturally. Totally in my top rules of fashion.
Other rules:
- Never buy uncomfortable shoes
- Be colorblind, there are no color mixing/seasonal rules
- Coordinate bag and outfit if applicable
- Matching what you wear under your clothes is just as important as the outfit itself
- Clothes do not have to be expensive to be perfect
- Never caring about what people will think

…you so casually walk between function and fashion
Bored of your same old mini skirt or your drab cardigans? Well, exchange one for the other by re-functioning. I’ve been delighted recently by two fashion bloggers and I adore their innovation. In the past I’ve mentioned how much I love the idea of “shopping in your closet” and these fresh ideas help further that notion!
First up, the backwards cardigan as dreamed by Krystal from This Time Tomorrow
Next up is the cardigan skirt, as dreamed by Claire from De Lune
Yesterday was Halloween and I joked that of all things I decided to throw on yesterday it was a leopard print shirt. I wasn’t trying to be anything and spent the majority of the day away from people. The girl in starbucks said she liked my costume and I gave her a weird/confused look and then she remarked, “oh you’re not wearing a costume are you?”. I didn’t even think. Will’s 7 year old niece also asked me, “are you a cat?”. OOPS.
But the funny thing is as I’m just now catching up on a weeks worth of google reader’s worth of fashion blogs (as I spent most of last week sick and asleep), I notice this:

Kendi, probably my favorite blogger, was also spotted wearing a leopard shirt. Weird. haha.
So we all know I’m obsessed recently with my fashion bloggers, as it is my morning ritual to scroll through my google reader and take all sorts of mental notes.
Here’s an update on my flava favs:

I love this outfit, I’d have to lose like a 1000 pounds to wear it but.. yea I love it.
I loveeee colorblocking, and I am continually gawking at those who do it well.
Like Ms. B. Jones she’s great. Especially here:
I did my best this past weekend with what I had in my closet (that was clean…), not a very good picture but you get the idea.
(lime green sweater; NY&Co. - blue skirt; Target - Plain white T - not pictured: Cowboy boots; Steve Madden)
So for two weeks now I’ve been looking into the guts of my closet. I usually have a cute curtain over my closet but recently one of the hangers came out of the wall and the pole crashed onto the floor at like 3am, cool. But it’s been kinda of nice to lay in bed and look into my closet and brainstorm my outfit for the day…
