きっちりかっちり (Clean & Perfect)

10/27/2016

You wouldn't believe the amount of randos who came out of the woodworks to talk to and or gawk at me when I had worn this outfit. o_O O_o It's the bow tie, isn't it? It's aaaaalllllways the bow tie. Hehe.

I just tried to stay calm and be ready to run in case someone tried to stab me. I actually had someone follow me. So....yeah. Crazy creepers, amirite? :F~ Anyway, I guess I'm doing my best school girl impression here. I'm not sure if that's what I was actually going for. I just know that I wanted to wear these plum over-the-knee socks at least once for the season. I hardly wear them as often as I should and I do love how they look when paired with dark blue hues. ^_^ I added some blacks and greys to make the blues stand out and opted for a brown bag instead of black for something unexpected.

I wish that Autumn would stick around..oh, I dunno..forever. I'm going to miss her when she's gone. <3

Forest For The Trees

I'm actually looking at the camera and smiling. Weeeiiiirrrrd. O_o o_O Hehe. Admittedly, I was in a really good mood when these pictures were taken (and the creepers were at an all time low, which always helps). :DDD My partner's parents came to town a couple of days prior. They drove up in an RV! Crazy pants. So, we'll be entertaining them for the next several days. On this day, we decided to take them out to brunch and then go on a bike ride to the lake to quaff spirits and enjoy the nice weather.

So, I opted for a sort of dressy, but pretty casual outfit. The striped skirt is easy to bike in and the braided sweater is super warm and cozy. I really adore the striped skirt. I just love the multi-directional lines and the uneven hem. There's just something about subtle, deliberate imperfections. <3 The mix of textures and patterns in the outfit are great, too, IMO. The sweater alone has several different patterns at play and I like the juxtaposition of chunky, heavy knits with lightweight, breezy fabrics. ^_^

I honestly felt like this outfit was pretty innocuous, but I still managed to garner a ton of stares everywhere I went. >_< People actually turned their heads on their bikes as I rode by. Haha. You'd think I'd be used to that sort of reaction, but I still struggle with it daily. I really loved wearing this outfit, though! It was super comfortable and appropriate for the day's activities. I hope you like it, too! :P
