We Love Colors

Category: My OutfitsEyeliah

Did you know I’ve posted 494 outfits in the last 661 days of blogging?  That’s an average of 5.25 a week.  In your answers to the poll the votes for more outfits were tied for first with more inspiration folder posts.  I am thinking maybe that meant you want to KEEP seeing outfits as I already post so many but I will try to up it to 6-7 outfits a week anyway.  I like the challenge and plan to include more fantasy outfits, like this one below.

This is what I wanted to wear today:

My funny husband asked me in that early morning hour, ” Is that really what you are wearing to work? “.  Um I wish I could show off my wild space dyed legs to the world today but I don’t think it fits the dress code, I’m doing a dress up for the blog.  I can’t wait to wear these tights out for real, so comfortable and amazing bright colors.  I won them on Fashion Fille, I got to choose two pairs of tights from We Love Colors so went for these and a plum pair.  Thanks so much Fashion Fille & We Love Colors!

This is what I’m really wearing:

I think this is more office appropriate.  I mean, I’m already pushing it with the blue hair.

It’s 29 (84) degrees out here and thinking about fall and winter still seems far away, but trust that it is just around the corner.  A great staple for the season is a sweater dress, if you don’t have one I recommend shopping while the weather is still warm for the best deals.  Check out your local thrift store or these gorgeous pieces for sale right now on etsy, all wool or wool blend.  Click pictures for listings.

How to Always Look Great – Guaranteed

Category: How To,My Outfits,ProjectsEyeliah

I felt on top of the world in this outfit and that really made it a great day. I was running around before work, on my break and after work taking pictures of people (for the other site) and having the best time.  It really makes a difference for my mood when I love what I am wearing, I am sure you feel that way too.  If I break this outfit down in pieces I can understand the psychology behind it.

The black and gold Linea Pelle belt, a gift from Shay has got to be the most interesting and chic belt I own.  I always feel amazing when I wear it.

The thrifted items were all high quality finds in mint to near mint condition;
The Sheer Black Cotton Blouse from Guess $15, so soft and flattering.
Green Silk Skirt $7, so luxurious on the skin and a nice a line shape.
And adorable Velvet Bow Heels $5, about as high as I can go in heels and they are so comfortable too.

So there you have it, dress in only quality items to always feel great.  This sparks in me a mission; all socks with holes, pilled tops, misshaped and oversized pieces I am coming for you.  You have lived your last day in my closet!  It’s like Spring Cleaning for Fall.

When was the last time you cleaned out your closet?
