Crazy Pants

October 16, 2013 by Nikki No Comments

There was supposed to be sunshine today, which would have made my photos look much better, but c’est la vie. Instead, you get crazy pants photos! They’re a plaid/gingham pattern (I’m still learning the difference between the two) and were part of the Spring Mad Men collection at Banana Republic. Since I’m wearing this ensemble to class (and because it’s still a little chilly outside from no sun light!), I decided to dress it down a bit by pairing it with the denim jacket.

The shirt looks blueish but it’s actually a soft kelly green, so I added a green bag to go with the soft green of the shirt; keeping it all in the same color pallet.

Here’s the nice detail of the pants. See, they’re not too crazy. But seriously, don’t stare at this photo too long because it might hurt your eyes!

Close up of the necklace. I LOVE this thing. I get the most complements on it. Apologies, again, for the lighting. This necklace is a slightly darker gray in person. But still beautiful!

What’s the craziest thing in your closet? How often do you wear it?

White Pants

October 8, 2013 by Nikki No Comments

I’m really reluctant to wear white pants for three reasons: 1) I’m afraid I’ll get them dirty and 2) I’m afraid of too much white and 3) I’m also afraid of the sharp contrast of dark and white!

I don’t think that too much white is a bad thing. I also don’t think that dark on white is a bad thing. In fact, I think both looks are very elegant and classy. But, for some reason, I feel like I can’t pull them off. Clearly I can, because this outfit looks really good! I just have to learn to step outside of my comfort zone more often.

How do you feel about white?
