What Rules?! Thursday – Red Lipstick

 Top – Audrey via Threadsence  //  Leggings – H&M  //  Boots – I forget  //  Scarf – street stand 

 Last week we broke the “No white after labor day rule.”  Today we’re breaking, “No red lipstick during the day.”  Next week we’re breaking the rule that says, “Never mix metal.”

I  chose a cooler more pink hued shade of red as I find it looks better on my a yellow red. And I kept the rest of the outfit intentionally low key and laid back.  How’d you guys do? 

Link up your outfit post, Twitter picture, Instagram picture, Facebook photo, whatever link showcasing your rebellious style.  
Thanks.

Cover Your Butt..Or How To Wear Leggings

Jacket -Le Chateau  //  Top – Vero Moda  //  Hat – Aldo  //  Sunnies – F21  //  Leggings  – H&M  //  Boots – Call It Spring

It seems that women *the teens and early twenties variety especially* seem to forget that leggings are not pants.  They are leggings.  A hybrid between tights and pants.  Therefore you should always remember one thing:  cover your ass!  Ladies, regardless of how nice or well scuplted you deem your derriere, please cover it when wearing leggings.

Too many a time have I walked behind a young woman on the metro and seen the exact shade and shape of her underwear through the bum she presented to me underneath her leggings.  It’s not a view I particularly enjoy with my morning coffee.  I don’t want to see it, and while there are some who do, please for the sake of the rest of us keep it off the public metro and streets by just doing me one little favor:  cover your butt.

Camo Lately

Leggings – c/o Style Lately  //  Top -Vintage Havana  //  Jacket & Sunnies – F21  //

Experimenting with leopard print has gone really well lately, so I decided to branch out even more out of my comfort zone with these cool *c/o* Style Lately camo leggings.  I’ll be honest, the idea of wearing these both excited me and made me scared.  I wasn’t sure I could pull them off.  I was scared that I’d look like some dainty little girl trying really hard to wear something ‘tough.’ But I really wanted to give it a try because I thought they’d be really cool and could add a lot of fun to my wardrobe.  Plus, as I’m a big believer of doing things that scare you, I thought, “Well, I can’t not get these now!”  

I’m so glad I did.  They’re fun and comfy and I love how it’s making me think of other pieces in my wardrobe in a totally different way.   Just goes to show that you should break out of your sartorial comfort zone every once in a while.  Bonus: something about walking down urban streets wearing camo leggings makes me feel like I could be in a Resident Evil movie taking on monsters and zombies.  But first I’d have to lose the heels.  And pack my swords.

Seen And Not Heard

Some days I’m poetic, whereas other days, like today, I’m just downright taciturn.  The ideas in my head refuse to leave and be shared with the universe.  My words and sentences have decided to firmly plant roots inside my brain and never see the light of day.  It’s a day that’s meant to be silently enjoyed and reflected upon, but never discussed.

Swaps And Jerks

I was all comfy and cozy when I headed out to a recent clothing swap.  I love clothing swaps.  They’re so fun and it’s great to see everyone getting excited about clothes that you thought had come to the end of their life span.  It’s great because it’s so inspiring and refreshing in this day of “Just buy a new one.”  Also, I wanted to be really comfy and wear leggings so that I can easily throw things off and on.  I highly recommend organizing a swap with your friends.

True Story:
Andrew walked up to Baby Girl and tapped her on the bum.
She responded with, “No please.”
He did it again.
“No please Daddy.”
And again.
“Daddy, no Pleeease!”
He did it once more.
She points her index at him, furrows her brow and says, “Don’t be a jerk!”
He looks at me with a you-taught-her-this look.
I replied,”Well, you were being a jerk.”
