Blogger Spotlight #15: Idealism Never Goes Out Of Fashion

Meet Rebecca of Idealism Never Goes Out Of Fashion


Picture




Rebecca is one of the sweetest people I have had the pleasure of meeting (completely by chance) on the interwebz. I've been following her blog for almost two years, now. It has gotten to the point where I feel like we're best friends, but I still have as of yet to meet her.

She is so kind and creative. Would you believe that she makes her own dresses? Can you guess which one of these dresses she made? Both! F*cking amazing, bro! Rebecca's eye for colors and patterns is impeccable. If I didn't know that she made the dresses, I would have readily assumed that she bought them.

As you can imagine, Rebecca loves wearing dresses just as much as she loves making them. At the end of each week, she shares a featured dress on her blog. She calls the series "Fabulous Frock Friday." I always look forward to those posts. Check it out, when you can!




Rebecca is originally from Minnesota, but she now calls New Zealand home. She has been overseas for the past 7 years. How f*cking cool is that? I am continually smitten with jealousy when she shares photos from her travels. New Zealand is such a beautiful place. <3
I would love to visit, let alone live there! You are one lucky girl!

If you're curious about what Rebecca does in her spare time (besides fashion blogging ;D) check out her travel blog, "Backcountry Hijinks."

Something else I should mention: shoes. Rebecca is quite the connoisseur and especially when it comes to boots. Whenever she has a new post, I check it and immediately look at her feet. Haha. I can't help myself. She has so many shoes that I wish I could have.
If you're only able to visit her blog once, I highly recommend flipping around and looking at her shoe collection!

Oh and she has the cutest accessories, too! Take a look at that satchel she is holding down below. Omfg that print! Too adorable for words. <3 If you can, take a moment to say 'hello' to Rebecca! You can follow her on Instagram, too!

Gaaaaahhh. >_< I finally did it. I wore my yellow tights and I didn't cover them up. You have no idea how weird I felt walking around with these jaundiced legs. For some reason, I just adore seeing my fellow bloggers style yellow tights, but I can't seem to get comfortable with the idea of wearing them myself. I felt a lot like Santa's Helper in this getup
. Bah! Haha. Still, I enjoyed wearing these colors.

Orange, green and yellow are so pleasing to the eye. Well, for me, at least. I guess these colors are more closely associated with Fall or Spring. However, I like to wear bright (perhaps even unseasonal) colors in the Winter. What would be "seasonal" Winter colors, anyway? Brown, black, grey? Haha.

That's mostly what I tend to see this time of year.
I guess red and green would be good ones to choose since those are XMAS related, but I didn't want to be literal and end up looking tacky. Instead, I just chose several of my favorite colors and put them together in a way that was both feminine and charmingly vintage. I wanted to be playful and whimsical, but still maintain a semblance of maturity.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I let this slip awhile back, but I've been on a spending freeze since January of this year. Hence, this outfit is completely remixed. I last wore the high waisted corduroy shorts and orange eyelet sweater back in April and I last wore the knee high brown lace up boots here. (^_^)v

The only new thing I've got on me is this multi-color iPhone case from my sponsor, Oasap. I picked it up for $3.90 and then it went on sale for $1.59. Story of my life. Heh. Anyway, it ended up selling out, but they have very similar cases like this one still available. This is my second phone case. :D I know, I'm a goober. You guys probably have like half a dozen or something. Heh. I'm always the last one to the party. I got my first iPhone case back in February of this year. You can see that one here.

I did absolutely nothing of real importance the day these photos were taken. Haha. I went to the post office to drop off several packages. A couple of them were deliveries for some wonderful ladies in my clothing swap group and the others were sales from my on-line shops. After that, my partner and I spent about three hours dicking around at a coffee shop and then we played a bunch of video games back at home base. My life is so, so boring, you guys. I'm sorry. Haha. >_< It consists mainly of alcoholic beverages, high calorie foods, caffeine, occasional blogging and video games. *shrug*  :3 <3
