I know
that I sound absolutely crazy lamenting the end of summer from sunny
South Beach :) but, for the past couple of days, the weather in Miami's
been pretty dreary. So, in an effort to brighten things up, I decided to
post this outfit. I wore this outfit to a lunch date with my husband a couple
of weeks ago. I love mixing brightly colored pieces and do so all year
round. Maybe it's the Miami in me, but I really don't think that
fall/winter should mean dark. I think you should always wear what makes
you happy so, I will proudly be that girl rocking the fluorescent orange
dress in the middle of December.
A QUICK THOUGHT
This
dress was an absolute steal at Zara. It had a slight zipper issue so I
picked it up at a deeply discounted price, fixed the zipper and voila.
Sometimes a slight snag in fabric, unraveling of material or zipper
issue can mean big savings. My advice would be to go to your tailor and
have a conversation about which repairs are easy fixes. Usually, zipper issues
that do not run into the fabric are a quick fix. Also, certain
snags or fabric irregularities are easily hidden with brooches, belts,
etc.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
How do you guys feel about rocking brightly colored clothes during fall/winter? Am I guilty of a big fashion don't?
Thats a really fierce color combo! I saw this posted over on fashion bomb daily, as they featured you as their fashion bombshell of the day (congrats!) and i just had to come check your blog out. You have a really chic sense of style, and this post has inspired me to try out that whole color blocking trend lol
ReplyDeleteYou're not because you are in Miami. I'm in Orange County and San Diego, California, and I always wear brights in the fall/winter.
