we'll solve any crime... by dinner time!

For a lot of people, a "fashion risk" would involve wearing an assortment of barf-inducing colourful explosions. For me, it's quite the contrary. As in, OH HI LEXY IS WEARING, um, TWO COLOURS? (yes, black and white are shades.) (did you ever have that incident as a child where you'd be all, "so, what's your favourite colour?" and someone would respond all, "black," and you'd be all, "BUT BLACK IS NOT A COLOUR, IT'S A SHADE." Your face would be red with horror, yet you'd also have a huge smile plastered on your face as you'd be beaming with pride upon realizing this person's uneducated error, thus you felt incredibly intelligent and Mary-Kate and Ashley circa Amazing Adventures of Mary Kate and Ashley. You know? Maybe I was just a weird/ obnoxious child. Probably.)

So, yeah. IN CONCLUSION, I temporarily gave this (relatively speaking) minimalistic look a "go" as a stab at my own fashion risk. It's weird - I always feel a little incomplete without a party of colours blinding all innocent bystanders. But I think it brings out another side of me. Plus, the dandy thing about reducing colour is that it upduces (you know, the opposite of reduce) (busted: made-up word) the concentration of patterns. And I love patterns, so this is solid. Hah. Get it. Solid. Well, it's nothing really to "get." Except for patterns and solids are, like, opposites. Bahaha! Hilarious! (Wow. I need to sleep...)

Again. OBSESSED WITH SOCKS. These ones are particularly awesome because the lace allows breathing space for my sweaty piggy toes. I've also decided that HEY IF THERE ARE ANY STORES THAT SELL SOCKS/ TIGHTS, WHY HAVEN'T YOU GIVEN ME FREE THINGS ALREADY?! I will be very enthusiastic!!! (note the multiple exclamation points. yeah.) And wear them all the time! And name drop you whenever people comment on the gloriousness of my fancy feet! Go free socks!


Oh... and you like my headband? Really? ... oh... You want it yourself? Aw well, *Lexy awkwardly giggles and blushes and* OH WAIT! OH SNAP! OH CRACKLE! OH POP! You CAN have this headband! ...Why? Because I'm selling it on ETSY, of course! We erupt in a fit of giggles before you proceed to purchase this marvel for yourself.

Here is my fabulous elephant bag. I am trying to come up with a name for him. For some reason, "Eli" (pronounce EE-LIE) keeps coming to mind. But I feel like that might be a little five year old of me. You know? Eli the elephant? Really? Like my bunny named, um, bunny? Or my bear named, um, bear-bear? Or my blanket named, um, blankie? Yeah. My teacher's report card comment said that I was "creative dynamo." YUP. I've obviously fulfilled that title!

Summer is the perfect time for fashion risks! I don't know why. I feel like that's a saying or something. But I'm going for it! I hope you're all wearing weird attire that brings out another side of your personality. And makes you want to dance in. Clothes should always make you want to dance.

What's the last "fashion risk" you took?
(and if you don't remember - tsk, tsk. that's tomorrow's task!)
