Bad-ass plaid and awards are rad

Sweater dress: H&M
Knee socks: Nine West
Booties: can't remember
Bracelet: Xcetera


Bwahaha, excuse my horrible rhyming, but it got you here didn't it? Wearing a single tone doesn't necessarily mean boring, in fact, wearing a single tone can be quite visually interesting. In this outfit, I play with a color palette of black, grays, and a slight splash of red in my knee-socks and gold in the bracelet. The soft knit texture of the dress contrasts with the smooth black leather of the boots, while the varying shades of gray in my knee-socks break up the outfit nicely. The one thing unsatisfying with this outfit is my shoes! I feel that the heels are a little too stodgy for this ensemble and that something a little more chiseled would suit it better, what do you think?

In other news, I got this great reward from Hanako66 of Through the Looking Glass! Thanks so much Hanako66! It's always so great to hear that people appreciate my blog, and it encourages me to keep writing!




Now I want to share the love by highlighting some new fab blogs I've found recently:

I hate that site, I wish stores would just cut the middle man out and do it themselves. It might save a lot of struggling brands.

Thanks for the compliment, although I was kind of hoping for some intense Madonna windows with LV.
