Breaking the Rules

I always hear that you should never wear orange and black together for fear of looking like something Halloween threw up. But I don't care. I love the dress and I love the tights with it. Here's to breaking the rules!

Outfit: In Suspension

I've been looking for suspenders everywhere, and I finally found them. I have so many plans for these. *Cue evil laugh and sinister wringing of hands*

Outfit: The Lace is back!

So maybe you recognize this orange shirt from a few posts ago. I decided to pair it with blue shorts this time. I love the wingtip oxfords I'm wearing in this picture. Why? Because so many people dislike them. I'm just arbitrary that way.

To be honest, the outfit felt a bit risky when I put it on this morning. I wasn't quite sure if I looked "put-together" enough. But then I decided, hey, forget being put-together! I felt good in the outfit and that's what mattered ;)

My new ring from H&M, set off by some awesome Sally Hansen green nail polish done at the Nail Salon du Jour du Moulin Rouge du Moi (I don't exactly know what all those French words mean but they sounded cool in my head, so I went with it). Basically I did it myself.

My little brother takes most of my pictures, although I usually take the close-ups of my face like the one above (yes, I know I am a very talented self-portrait taker. Please hold your applause til the end).
