Fade To Black

2/4/2014

This panda sweater is an absolute favorite of mine and I love every excuse to wear it. It's soft and cozy and the neutral colors are perfectly suited to my typical style. You may recognize it, as I've worn it several times already. Click here and here for some examples. I think the sweater provided the right amount of emotion and color contrast for this rather somber ensemble of blacks and greys.

I've worn this black double breasted coat a bunch and I kept forgetting to mention that I got it from Jollychic. Last year, I won a contest for a $100 gift certificate and I had used that along with my own money to purchase four coats, a cardigan and two sweaters. I desperately needed an updated black coat and this one is perfect. I'll do a review about my experience with Jollychic later on, but for now I can say that I'm very pleased with the quality and fit of what I have received, especially this tweed coat.

This is my second time wearing these ombre jeans, but my first time actually showing them on my blog.I was thinking about just selling them, because I hadn't worn them in years. I had forgotten all about them until the other day and they're like-new. I had bought them prior to the whole ombre craze. I was in the mood for something different from your typical pair of jeans, so I had bought these on sale.

I have to say that I'm definitely going to keep them. Haha. Obviously I forgot just how totally rad they are; and the fact that they happen to be in style or whatever also warrants holding on to them. :D Also, I think the ombre effect added that little something extra that a pair of plain black pants just couldn't.

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend and that your week is off to a great start! ^_^

10 Below With A Chance Of Rainbows

Damn. This makes the second pair of pants I've worn since Winter began. o_O O_o Until recently, it's been shorts, leggings and tights dominating. I...guess I should start wearing more pants, eh? Haha. :P

Oh and you may have noticed that my coat is a little bit....irregular. Haha. Don't worry, I did this on purpose. Well..OK, actually it was on accident at first. When I was getting ready to leave, I had skipped a button on my coat and I was like 'oh sh*t I'd better fix that.' When I looked in the mirror and saw the asymmetrical hem, though, I thought 'umm..you know that looks alright.' So, there you go. I expect to see everybody buttoning their coats incorrectly on purpose to make a statement. Haha. :P

I guess I just couldn't help myself. I added the socks and the awesome sweater (which you will see below) to help jazz things up, but I still felt like the outfit looked plain with the coat buttoned up. The asymmetrical hem added just a bit more chaos to the mix and made the outfit a little less boring.

Ask your doctor if magenta paired with mint and cobalt blue is right for you! ^_^ As far as unexpected color pairings go, I had as of yet to see sky blue and dark blue mixed in an outfit. I'm sure this is symptomatic of the fact that I don't read any fashion magazines and I probably don't follow enough style blogs. I have no doubt that this has been done before, but I just haven't seen it lately and I definitely haven't seen hot pink thrown into the mix. So, here you go! Haha. I love these colors together! <3

Sorry about the specks of white in the photos. That's just snow getting blown in my face. >_< Haha. That's about it! You've seen the coat here, sweater here and yellow satchel here, among other posts.

Take it easy and have a great rest of the week! 楽しんでね！ ^_^

(P.S. - It wasn't actually -10°F! I just wanted a snazzy title! Hehe)
