Beige and Floral

Autumn is right around the corner, which to most people means Autumn colors. I hate fashion rules with a passion. I don't like to think that I have to wear brown and musty greens all season, I look horrible in those colors usually. I like wearing fun color combinations and patterns, it makes the threat of the cold seem brighter to me. I am sort of crazy wearing what I do seasonaly though. This whole summer I have been wearing a big letterman sweater even in the hottest of days. I am rather ridiculous with my fashion choices.

I love florals, I think that is obvious though. This fall I like the idea of beige and floral. Maybe a classic trench with a pale floral dress or a muted top with a pink flowery skirt and nude oxfords paired with pale blue knee highs? It is such a spring look but I think things should be confusing. If you want you could even throw in some more autumny colors. I have a cute orange scarf knitted by yarnovermovement that would look nice with either outfit.

Sandals + Tights

Something I am really into right now is sandals paired with tights. I love the contrast. It seems rather off putting perhaps to the people in Cincinnati but I don't care. I am sure a lot of what I wear isn't Cincinnati approved. Anyway like everything this look was first seen on Kate Moss, really though if you look back far enough you will see Jem rocked this look in the 80's. I think fashion rules are dumb and I like making a point of breaking them.

here is my take...

Loving Lately: Kaboodle

I just want to take a second to talk about Kaboodle. Are you a member yet? I joined Kaboodle in the spring because they had a dress contest. I do a lot of online shopping so I really got into the site. At first it seemed a little confusing but once I understood the layout it was a lot fun.  If you find something you like on any website you can add it to your Kaboodle right away by putting their buttons on your toolbar. What is also nice is that you can organize your finds with lists. It has been great for me because having all my finds in one place gives me more time to think a purchase over and not forget about it.
