I Love You Primarily


Greetings!
You will all remember the White Out look from May 5th which was a part of the Bloggers Do It Better Challenge at Pretty Shiny Sparkly. Well there was actually a challenge the week before as well, and although I can't participate in the link-up (my blog wasn't even up when the challenge was issued) I was still inspired to create a look. Which really shouldn't be a surprise since I am inspired to create a look by just about everything and anything. Aren't you? The topic for the challenge was Colour Blocking.
This was such a huge trend on the runways and of course it is popping up in all of the fashion magazines. I seem to remember seeing this trend before but no matter. I hadn't really knowingly dedicated a look to the colour blocking cause before this so it was fun. For fun I chose a primary colour scheme - also because the red pants are super comfy and it was windy out so a skirt/shorts wouldn't have been a good choice.
In retrospect I am not sure that I love the addition of the red robot necklace... cute but he was jingle jangling all over and I was trying on rompers at a new(ish) store I discovered here in town. That means I spent a lot of time going - necklace on, necklace off, necklace on, necklace off.
Isn't that the worst part about buying anything new? Maybe in the future there will be scanners which scan your body and then project images of you in every single outfit/piece onto a mirror so you can "try things on". Hassle free.
I probably watched too much Star Trek as a child or something - plus knowing technology the scanners would probably give us an incurable disease.
Wait... I think I have it already ... shopaholicism.... (is that a word??)

More pictures after the Jump!!

Bloggers Do It Better - White Out



Bloggers Do It Better


So here I was going about my business, casually editing some photos for the
Pretty Shiny Sparky - Bloggers Do It Better  challenge and I find out it ends in only a few hours!
I guess I thought the end of the day meant the end of the day my time. Blasted Time zones....
Initially I had planned on posting this outfit tomorrow but at the risk of not being included (which would be very disappointing) I am going to post it tonight.
This was a great challenge because white is such a wonderful (non)color to wear. I love wearing white (other than that it gets dirty quickly..) and there is the added bonus that it makes my skin look as though it has more color! I am very pale.
Of course I had to wear as much white as possible so I wore white shoes, white pants. a white shirt, a white vest, a lace vest, a white belt, white bracelets, carried a white clutch and painted my finger and toenails white.
Overkill you say? Never.

Don't forget - there are more photos after the jump!
