GETTING GRAPHIC

Eek! Still so excited about the new blog design. Squarespace is AWESOME.

Anyway, about the post: You just can't go wrong with a bold graphic print. They're really easy to pair with something neutral, or with colors that are found in the print itself. This particular one, from the Phillip Lim for Target collection was especially praised, for having been so similar to the graphic print in 3.1 Phillip Lim's main collection.  

Now that the temperatures are dropping, and we're able to start layering, it makes for some really fun combinations. Watch me be the queen of layering in the next few months, before I just entirely bundle up in a giant puffy coat and hibernate for the Michigan winter! Brrr!!

#CASUAL

My whole weekend was based around the fact I have been waiting SO LONG for the season 5B of Breaking Bad. Yes. I am dressed up like Heisenberg’s blue product… Just kidding. 

But I do love this blue - or not just blue, not turquoise. Not lapis. It’s actually cerulean - it has a certain je ne sais quoi that really makes you feel totally chic. Slap on some lip color and you’re good to spend a sunny Sunday comfy, casual, but chic.

THE BEST BLUES

Life always has a pinch of the blues, doesn’t it? And if this outfit were life - pretty and frilly at first glance - it really would be just average and bland, if it weren’t for the blues. 

So ladies (and fellas), make the best of the bluesy moments. Listen to what they’re trying to say to you. There is a reason you’re feeling down, and deep down, we all know how to change it. But when the familiar feels more comfortable, it’s easy to remain complacent. 

Be pro-active. Take your blues and shove them into everyone’s face, and if you’ve got them on your feet, perhaps kick everyone’s butt. Why not? Carry your heart on your poofy, striped sleeve. Because that’s how you can show them who you are.

And that’s show yourself, who you are meant to be.

Have a great week!
