colourful antics

This outfit got a lot of stares. Likely because I was at the mall, which is often filled with girls clad with skinny jeans, Uggs, and Hollister Tee (wow, fun stuff!). But, I think weird stares are fun. It means that you're wearing something different and unique. I encourage you all to go out there and where a weird-stares induced outfit!

I love this jacket, but the one problem is the colour: it clashes so easily with everything. But my new theory is that if you pair it with a lot of colour, the clashing-ness won't be obvious because all colour goes together? Anyways, that's my new, revolutionairy theory. BAM.

Annnnd, without the jacket...

Definitely hoping to wear this vest more in the winter. It's so fuzzy, and cozy, and fuzzy.

Oh, and I'm so excited to have reached the 150 follower mark! YAY. I seriously get so excited whenever that little number increases. Here's what I have to say to you all:

It was inspired by a doodle in my agenda. It was going to say "Will you be my Valentine?" But then I remembered, 1) Valentine's is a million days away and 2) I dislike Valentine's day. Therefore, I'll pretend it was inspired by my blog readers because, um, I kind of like you (muahaha, I'm so sly!). But really, I do. Thank you so much for following and commenting.

Also, I got lookbook. Posting some of my old looks and such, so please go and "hype"! I'm definitely a noob and slowly getting into it. Special thanks to Michelle for inviting me. You're kind of the best! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and maybe commenting (do it!)! And Happy Holidays! (I can't believe Christmas is so soon. I still need to make something for my parents. Any suggestions?!)

What can I say, the color clashing worked... you've proven your "revolutionary" theory right. Great look and great work on the colors.

Marina said...

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!! Those "abercrombie girls" as i call them. they all wear the same shirts emblazoned with ABERCROMBIE, HOLLISTER, or the ever unique AE 77. It bothers me to no end. oh, and the ever thickened black eyeliner and the straightened hair. it just bothers me how un-unique they are. sigh. anyway, i am so happy that you went to the mall like that. i tried that once and yes those awkward wtf stares are pretty funny. anyway, wrong rant. your outfit looks beautiful and the black vest is so cool! I love how long and shaggy it is. I LOVE YOUR BLOG. :)

Christina said...

Love your blog (:

Love it. I quite like getting weird stares myself. + Dressing like everyone else is really boring, skinny jeans are really old now, and you can see that because everyones wearing them, aswell as donning them with uggs. or Fuggs, because no-one really buys the real ones. haha

You have such a way with colors! You're like Matisse ... he played around with the color wheel and reinvented art ... you go, girl!

Wendy said...

Lovely silhouette! And I completely agree about looking a little ridiculous once in a while. Makes life more interesting.

Mel said...

Ooooh I like your coat! And I'm sure everyone was staring because they were secretly extremely jealous that you dress so much better than them :)

Lexy @ QUIRKY EXPLOSION said...

Ha...I know how you feel about stares and mean whispers as you walk by...but seriously, who's talking about their outfits? Answer, no one! And that's cause they suck. And you rock.

I love your new color theory...it sounds like a good one to meeeee...

ughh parents are the hardest to shop/make presents for... =/ im still stumped myself, good luck tho!

Diane said...

Hz! Thanks for the comment. I like zour look a lot in this pics, mostly because of the tights, I think the tights bring more color to the outfit than the coat, or, at least, this is in the pictures.

Sweet drawing ;)
