As much as I don't like to think of myself as a "judgey" person...
I do love to look at fashion.
(And yes, I will admit... I will raise an eyebrow when I see a gal looking like a "hot mess.")
I am one who dresses more with comfort in mind, and I am more into color for expression, or even at times a statement "Tee."
I don't always follow current trends, but I am often curious as to what IS trendy, and then weigh whether I find it alluring or not.
Most of the time I find "high fashion" laughable.... Couture is another world unto itself! Although sometimes... there are some spectacular designs and designers who truly do some awe inspiring work, I will not totally discredit them.
Last year, for some reason... I found myself selecting a lot of "magenta" colored pieces to my wardrobe, even as far as a couple different handbags, and a ton of jewelry to "coordinate."
(Yes, I was raise to dress "matchy-matchy." LOL!)
But now.... recently... a few weeks ago... I went to put on my magenta colored ankle boots... and sighed in disgust...
I guess magenta isn't very autumny, now is it?
See you later magenta ankle boots! Into the closet you go...
I did venture to the fleamarket one day, in the rain, ughh,
and went treasure hunting for a new pocketbook of a Fall-tone...
I am loving my new hideously loud, overbearing wide pumpkin orange & white striped affair...
I probably should have done some googling around before purchasing, to see what the trends are (and if I want to lean towards any of them... )
Low & behold....
My FAVORITIST COLOR EV-ER is "IN!" (Yay!!!!!!!!~~~~~)
So... without further adu-
I'm not really excited over the purple colors.
Meh.
However, I am really liking the gender neutral colors at the top; Very hippy-ish 60's/70's and "earthy feeling."
(And am I the only person who is thinking that the color labeled "Reflecting Pond" is really only a hybrow-renaming of the color "Navy." I digress.)
However... I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they picked MY COLOR PICK... Fav of all time... C̶e̶r̶u̶l̶e̶a̶n̶
.... I mean um, Biscay Bay!
(Here the whole while I thought color experts at Crayola have been calling it "Cerulean".... Not green enough to be teal, too green to be a pure blue.... a blue with a touch of green... )
The dress on the far RIGHT..... from a recent NY Fashion article...
(Photo also from sourced article above.)
Well, I guess that means I will be seeing a lot more Cerulean in the stores!
And that is something that I will be very very happy to collect while treasure-hunting!
And before I wrap this fashion post up...
A few little laughs I had held onto the image links!
(All the looking around & discussion...)
I was looking for a T-Shirt already pre-printed & ready to order that says,
"I'm the Bad Guy." Alas, none to be found. (At least not by my fingers.)
Shame, cause it is the "running joke" with a few of my friends to say it...
We all do! LOL
But a few I thought were pretty chuckle-worthy:
If this ain't SO ME... (I hate that word, btw...
)
Yeah, I need this one! LOL
Found a couple of bloody ones, with & without hand print.
Around Halloween time? My comedic side votes for the hand-print one!
Shhhhhhh.... ( I do this....)
Heh.
Aussie smack-talk, anyone? lol
(Love an Aussie accent... practically automatically read with one when my mind reads the word "mate.")
I dunno if you are a lawyer in life or not, WTF, lol, but you would have made a good one. This one is for you!
Wow.... just looked over to pre-edit my post & realized almost every one of those T-shirts are a BLOODY MESS! LOL
Maybe Luvs2Purr was right? Must be b̶l̶o̶o̶d̶ something in the water?
Heh.
Mkay, on that note.... Back to my O.G. print shirt...
Like the solo chick at the swingers party .... LOL
or the white-white chick in the 'hood... lol
Or the one who knows she is a Black Sheep by society's moores... LOL
Black sheep, unicorn...
I'm a fuckin' Unicorn!
(I shouldn't....but this has me laughing....I WILL and AM.... lol SHARE!!!!!)
Sometimes, it is fun to be a member of a SMHB... lol
