geometric reverie







I'm so, so happy with this Threadsence necklace! I unexpectedly threw it on top of this ensemble during a hasty morning and it was like a eureka! moment. This small pop of yellow really offsets the huge amount of blue I have on. This silk shirt from Zara was a spontaneous purchase from last season so it's finally made its way out of the closet with a great comeback. It's addicting to stare at because of its magnificently bright, almost neon, blue. With so much color, it can be easy to end up looking like a rainbow (and not in a cute way!) but the trick is to find color complements.  Then make it easier on yourself to focus on one main color and sneak in pops of the complements like I did in this outfit. Orange and yellow are both complements of blue, as well as each other. I just realized my obsession with colors in my wardrobe and its strong effect on how my day will turn out. The more colorful I am, the more bright I feel :) 

I found these unique sunnies that are superbly similar to the Prada Baroques. The arm's fanciful detail is obviously the center of attention but not so obvious to the stranger's eye unless it peeks out behind the curtain of hair. At such a small cost, there should be no resistance. It's become a day for making statements.
