Lady In Red

I remember getting picked on in high school for the way I dressed. I remember all the names and

all the weird looks. But it never stopped me from being me. Even now as an adult I get those "eww what is she wearing looks" , but this is me. I am not dressing for attention, nor to be "different". This is how my mind works when I see clothing items, color and textures. To me it makes perfect sense and it is ok if others do not get it.  So if your getting picked on for what you wear or for who you are, don't let that get to you. Staying true to yourself is the best thing you can do. Now I just need to find high school photos and get rid of these roots...eekkkk!

Crayon Box! Emerald

Emerald City

Incase you have been casted away and speak to a ball named wilson, Pantone's color of the year is Emerald. My dress below is emerald, but the flash made it look teal...eeek! Either way Emerald is a very beautiful green; it is an elegant color and rich.

Emerald is also known to encourage: spiritual growth, clear vision, memory, faith, intelligence and communication, inspiration, joy, intuition, clairvoyance, sensuality, love, romance, beauty, harmony, tranquility, serenity, clarity, cleansing, justice, friendship and unity. 

With this outfit I was inspired by the land of OZ, but time traveled into the 1920's. I also wore my Dana Maxx tights. These tights were in my goodie tote bag from the Dana Maxx and BenAmun Fall 2013 Press release event I attended to kick off Fashion Week(feb 2013) . I also wore my BenAmun earrings, which were also in the goodie bag. And what's with my cat Luna wanting to be in the picture?

Evening Post Outfit!

Hello cyber peeps. Anyone out there? lol. Well it's been very interesting working at a non art or fashion place, but it allows me to get creative with color. No i did not wear this to work. This was my sunday outfit. What's with me and sunday? LOL

I just love color and in my poly interview i described my style. I pick items not to match, but i pick them as a missing piece. Meaning, i see what color is missing and if the outfit needs a pop of color. Naturally i can look at an outfit and say "It needs something in green or orange" That's how i think when i get dressed, not to impress anyone or be considered and fashion guru. Anyhow i also love to mix pattern an texture.
