Oddness/Weirdness

I have, like, 1 yellow piece in my closet but I'm thinking I need to indulge in more.  These pics are really inspiring me to work that color into my winter wardrobe.  What do you think??

My own personal style is kind of all over the place.  I like anything from modern 60s retro girlie style to rocker chic, gothic or maybe even androgynous boy-style.  It just depends on how I'm feeling that day. Right now I'm leaning towards dressing more in that kind of revamped 60s vibe.  This involves lots of shift dresses, baby doll dresses, mary janes, cardigans, oxfords, pointy toed flats and tights in all hues.   I tend to wear more dark or jewel tones than anything but, ya never know, I might throw a pop of color in there. Here are some of my inspirations:

It's super, extra freezing here today...there were even a few snow flurries coming down earlier and now it's quite windy.  I'm mentioning that because it's been the oddest winter season that I can remember in that it's been extra mild.  I'm kinda glad I finally get to bust out a coat and gloves (I'm sure I'll be over that in a hot second). I adore fall and winter clothing a ton.  You'll always find me wearing at least three pieces of clothing, even in the summer.  When fall comes around I'm all in my element, piling on boots and cardigans and scarves and hats and... and... You get the picture, I'm sure.  I especially adore a really cool coat atop a really cool outfit.

Ever wondered who wears couture on the daily?  I always used to.  I'd look at some outfits and be wondering who the hell would wear that and where to.  I found my answer when I first saw a pic of Daphne Guinness, and let me tell you... the woman is fab.

Sadly I haven't posted a thing to this blog in about 2 weeks... work and the holidays have conspired to make me one tired arse woman.  One of my New Years/birthday resolutions is to post something daily and hopefully I'll be able to stick to that.  I'm gonna try, that's for sure. Anyway, if you don't know what an arm party is or haven't thrown an arm party, you should jump on that.  The term was coined by the Man Repeller  , also known as Leandra Medine, and it refers to the art of stacking tons of bracelets/watches/bangles on one or both arms.  I've tried it before but I definitely had to take some inspiration from Leandra. Last week I threw this party on my left arm: l to r: 1st 3 Aldo, not sure, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc Jacobs Here are some other soirees that I found to be too cute for words: Source:  Manrepeller ,  Refinery29 ,  Atlantic-Pacific ,  TheGlamourai Hopefully this post inspires you to throw a party

Giovanna Battaglia is one of the hottest stylists in the fashion industry but started out as a model. She's constantly being featured on fashion blogs the world over and is another one of my style icons. Her style is colorful and girly and she's a master at mixing patterns.
