Color Blocking





Other possible titles for this blog post include:

Mustard and Grapes, not a snack


My hair did not work this morning


Ya know, just hangin' out on the roof of a parking garage


Ronald McDonald and the Purple thing had a baby on my clothes

I know color blocking is like all the rage.  I decided to give it a try, especially after picking up this fantastic purple skirt for a dollar.  Unfortunately, this skirt wrinkles like crazy and after sitting at my desk for a few hours, this is what happened.  I really love this skirt though!  The hour-glass silhouette when I look in the mirror makes me feel so confident.  When I walk, I actually wiggle. 

Shirt: Target
Necklace: gift
Belt: Muse boutique

  7. Wow, I love that skirt. I ordered a vintage one similar to that but the fit isn't right. I love that one on you and I love the other colors you paired with it!

  12. Oh my painful color envy! I LOVE this look! It makes me want to do something drastic, like throw paint all over everything (but, you know, in a good way). If this is what the baby of primary colored capitalist mascots look like, I have to rethink my position on

    1: the procreation of inanimate, fictional objects/characters
    2: the possibility of love between primary and non-primary colors
    3: capitalism
    and 4: other stuff I forget bc I was thinking about #1, which is kind of gross but also awesome.

    PS: In reference to #1, I guess sometimes RM and the purple guy are animate-ish, like in cartoons, so please amend for that. :)
