Things are Just Peachy, When the Sky is Blue


In todays sunny climate, it was scorching! Having to run errands, I needed to feel free from restrictions and feel whatever little breeze I can while walking around the town. As I stepped into my closet this morning, I was undecided by what to wear. Do I wear shorts, yet again? Do I wear those beautiful strappy sandals? Or how about that cute, bubbly skirt that has yet to be out of the house? I was so undecided on what to wear, I was ready to give up. Until, I turned, and my eyes caught sight of the bright blue that was hidden behind a row of dresses. It dawned on me that I haven't worn this dress in ages, and today would be the perfect time to take it out for some sunlight and fresh air. Big accessories were out of the question today, just because I wanted an outfit with a bit more leniency. I wanted to be playful, so I decided wooden bracelets would be my best option. To finish the look, I added my gladiator, nude sandals, and my natural curly hair to boot. It was the perfect summer outfit, with a touch of simplicity.


- Today, I went to a book store to see if they had those books I was talking about in the previous post. They didn't, but I did find two equally appealing books that I decided to buy instead. I also gave in my baby. For those of you that don't know, my baby is my car. The breaks are acting up, so I had to give it in today. Hopefully by tomorrow, it'll be back with me, and we'll be reunited!
Well, enjoy!

Expanding The Color Palette



The ever-so satisfying color that never seems to go out of style is black. The reason is unclear to me, other then the fact that it gives the "slim" and "curvature" appearance. Black also is a color of elegance and grace. Unfortunately, it's also a morbid and cynical color that does nothing for our aura or chi. The words colors is a plural word, which defines a meaning of more then one. Each color can be matched and mixed-matched to others, and every color has the capability of becoming elegant without the use of the color black. Summer is here, so it's time to go out and enjoy the night life, but not welcome the dark colors of winter. Harness the color wheel and use your intuition and keen sense of detail to be able to see which colors compliment each other to the point where nothing clashes. 
In this picture, I'm on my way out to a friends Birthday Dinner. I decided to be daring and bold by wearing two colors that many people wouldn't necessarily but together to go out for a night on the town. Expanding the color palette, and acknowledging other colors is a step closer to more appealing outfits, and compliments everywhere you go. 
Use the colors, they're obviously there for the eyes enjoyment.
