Hear me Roar!

Hello, Birdies!  I hope your IMOS has been fantastic!

Recently, I've been experimenting with blog designs. And I changed it today. I don't know why, but my views skyrocket every time. Today, I got about 5 times more views than the average day! Should I change my design more often?

And today, the shoes are a bit on the wild side. They are seriously feisty. ;)

Something about blue and green leopard loafers makes me smile. And I feel relatively matchy today. Don't get me wrong, I feel weird about it, but there are no rules in fashion. If I want my outfit to coordinate more than most, that's okay. And that's the point of this outfit: to show my little Birdies that you can be matchy and still look good. But you can also be random and look good. It's all about confidence and shoes.

A little color blocking, madam? Why, of course, darling!

Yay cobalt! I predict it will be big very soon. Probably not for spring, but summer and fall, watch out. But it's just an educated guess. And by educated, I mean wild guess. But I like cobalt, and I'm seeing it more often. So it is an educated guess. Like a hypothesis.

And surprise! I have 2 options. They are the exact opposite of each other. I mean exact opposite. One is navy and green color block top with a cobalt skirt...

...and the other is a navy sweater with a cobalt and green color blocked skirt. I said they were opposite, right? Well, I was wrong. They aren't exact opposites. One has navy and green colorblocking while the other has cobalt and green colorblocking. I was so close. Sooooooo close.

{Gap. Or is it The Gap?}

Who doesn't need a navy sweater? Well, technically me, because I've never thought, "Hmmm. What to wear, what to wear. Oh! A navy sweater with ________. Oh wait. I don't have a navy sweater." But now I'm thinking of all the ways I could wear it. So yes, everyone needs a navy sweater. 

Simplicity reigns. You don't have to be avant-guard with mixing prints and so on to look fabulous. A colorblocked sweater does the work for you. Add a flouncy skirt and loafers and you look ah-maze-ing. That's all it takes. Yes, the complicated print mixing and randomness can look oh so stunning, but you don't have to do all that to look sophisticated and I-don't-live-under-a-rock-ish. 

A Quickie Little Post

Hey, Birdies! It is Wednesday night and I still haven't done my Thursday IMOS post! So it's going to be brief. I warned you. Well, I'll try to make it brief. No promises!

For the shoe, I want something sparkly. It's Valentine's week. I want happy shoes.

Yep. That is what I wanted. Exactly what I wanted. And I used to loathe loafers. Now, I'm on the verge of wanting them! Of course, I think I'll stay on the yes-they're-okay-but-I'm-not-in-love side of things. 

And I love the blush ones, too!

And since this is a quick, shortened post, I'm going to do something very simple but IMO, stylish. 

I'm starting with a blazer from none other than J.Crew!

{J.Crew}

But scrunch up the sleeves a bit. Observe.

Much better! Now I really love the stripes. Now I need stripes!

{The Gap}

Now I need skinny jeans. I really would prefer a color to work with my all neutral ensemble.

I could also do citron. I'm sad we don't see much citron. I think we'll see more in the near future though. Same with blue. Lots of blue and citron, along with other colors of course!

And my inspiration outfit has beautiful, big, bright, red sunglasses. And I don't usually take my inspiration this literally, but I really needed that today. I don't usually write posts on Wednesday nights, and I need it to be quick! And I needed that hit of bright!

That's all, folks! I may be from Texas, but I'm actually so terrible at southern accents! I'm wayyy better at Valley Girl or New Jersey! Happy IMOS!
