Bright Idea

There was a horrible ice storm and, when it hit, I almost went back into my dark and twisty place. Hehe. I had really thought that all of that badness was in the past. Spring was supposed to have sprung or whatever, dammit! Luckily, it only lasted for a few days. By the coming weekend, most of the snow had melted away. There are still some unpleasant reminders scattered about here and there. T_T

You can probably make out some of the dying snow mounds behind me. Bah. Go away, Winter!!!!! I was determined not to go back to the darkness, so I picked three bright colours and set out to create an outfit that would feel like the Spring we were supposed to be having, but also while trying to avoid looking like a clown. Haha. I'm still very much a novice when it comes to wearing brights.

​Soooo, yeah. This is what I came up with. I've had the orange dress foreeeeever. I got it in a swap and just never had a good chance to wear it. The pumpkin colour is so lovely for Fall, but there's no way I was going to let more time to pass before finally wearing it. The fabric and cut are unforgiving. They show every line and every bump. I wish it wasn't as form fitting, but I just fell in love with the perforated collar. <3 It's worth it just for that, IMO. I also dug out my trusty blue floral Spring tights. I don't think I've ever worn them with orange before and I can't understand why it never occurred to me, because I think they make such a great pairing. I included the yellow coat for additional brightness and that's that. :D

 Hopefully, I don't look like a clown, but if I do, maybe I was the best looking clown in town? Haha. <3

Easing back into bright colours. :D Yep. Transitioning from scary and disturbing to just mildly intriguing. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along, everyone. Keep the area clear. No lollygagging. Hehe.

Staying true to my obsession with monochrome by sticking with a mostly blue and white scheme. The outfit is perfectly Spring themed with zero upsetting elements. It exudes nothing but calm. The people of this great city may rest easy....for now..... >;D Aside from being completely innocuous, the outfit also happened to be perfectly suited for the mild weather and just quirky enough to keep me from stowing it away in the "off-day outfit" department. The bright white and blues keep it fresh and the super cute socks and fancy man shoes keep it smart. I ended up with something fit for any occasion. <3

Sooooo, why did I waste it on going to a cafe to complain about the world over, what I have to admit, was an exceptional Americano? Lqtm. *shrug* I'm still easing into the whole 'omfg free time' situation that I've found myself in. I'm still reviewing materials and taking practice exams from 10-5 during the week, so I'm not like swimming in ennui. I have plenty to keep me occupied, but I've suffered from a bit of a lack of imagination when I try to think about things I want to do on the weekend. >_<

My partner says I shouldn't wring my hands too much about it. Apparently, not doing anything at all is a good use of time. Yeah? I know? Sounds stupid and I said as much, but I think he may be right. Don't tell him I said that or anything. Haha. I've always been a nervous person. It's very difficult for me to relax and even just thinking about how to use my free time causes me to have palpitations. I dunno. Right now, any time spent not staring at textbooks and outlines is well spent. That's all that matters, right? :P
