MATCHING COLORS: BORING? (answer: yes)

I barely wear matching colors... Obviously outfit colors should match in order to be accepted in society. You don't want to be the crazy person wearing red stockings and a green dress. But trying too hard to match colors is just plain annoying, not creative, and boring. Wearing all shades of blue together or white top and white pants... BORING!! So when I choose my colors, I trust my instincts (mostly) and go for it. These pictures are taken on a day I actually matched my outfit colors. See, the sneakers match my top!! I did this with pure accidental mind, but actually like the way it looks. Because I wore blue in between the purple-ness, it looks ok. What I'm trying to tell you is that too much of anything is bad. If you want to wear all white, then give it a different color with your purse and other accessories to give it that extra umph.

WHY MAXI DRESS?

Another beautiful day in the nation's capital today today... I put on my floral maxi dress and hit the streets of DC to get a cupcake before work. I was never a cupcake enthusiast... that is until i tried the red velvet cupcake from Georgetown Cupcake. I tasted their amazing cupcake before they became a nationally celebrated brand and I'm not surprised at their success. The cupcakes are delicious!!! Anyway, this maxi dress is my absolute favorite... In fact it is my very first maxi dress. Its smooth silky fabric and beautiful print won me over. Comfort is one thing i always look for in clothing... and this maxi dress is perfect. It is breezy without being see-through. Playful without having too much details. I accessorized with long gold chain, gold floral bracelet, gold and pearl ring, and gold earrings. The final touch: hobo bag. After years of searching for the perfect one, i saw this one in Barney's.
