Color Theory

12/29/2016

Last post of the year! Omfgahhhhh! Totally ready to bid adieu to 2016. Time for a clean slate; a fresh start; a new beginning. To cap off the year, I decided to do something fun, colorful and quirky. <3

Kitty hat, oversized glasses, funky socks and unconventional color blocking---perfect recipe for weirdness. Hehe. It was a bitterly cold day. I think the high was -4° F (-17° F with windchill). Yikes, you guys. Yeah. I would have totally just stayed indoors, except that one of my favorite brunch spots was doing a 'last brunch of the year' kind of thing and I just had to go. Heh. So, I bundled up for the freezing walk there. Two blocks doesn't seem like a long way, but when your face is frozen...yeah. Hehe.

I'm pretty sure I smiled most of the way there, though. I mean, I can't be positive, because it's hard to feel your facial muscles when you're getting blasted with icy winds. Heh. Still, this outfit provided a good excuse to smile. It definitely stood out like a beacon of jubilance. ^_^ Have a great rest of the year! <3

Hey, dudes! How was your XMAS? Goooooood. Mine was pretty swell and whatnots. :3 I got a super sweet Fjallraven Kanken navy backpack (my first ever omfggggg) and a rad t-shirt that I'd been coveting for a few years (I'm wearing it under the coat. Aww yeahhh boiiiii) and other stuffs and things. :DDD
All in all, it was a pretty chill holiday weekend filled with the usual drunken gluttony and bouts of oversleeping. Yep! 'Twas pretty great, if I do say so and I do. I do say so. o(^__^)o Hehe.

Soooo, can we talk about this navy coat, though? This coat is f*cking amaze. My sponsor, Fashion Mia, was kind enough to gift it to me and I'm super grateful, because I've been lusting after duster coats for a long time. The majority of my coats are short on me, because I'm freakishly tall. This one seems to fit my height perfectly, though. When I wear it, I don't feel like an adult in a child sized coat. Hehe. It's wonderfully sophisticated, too. If I ever go on a job interview in Winter/Spring, this is the coat I'll wear.

The coat is super comfy and warm. The shiny buttons are a beautiful accent, though I have to admit that they are not made of the best material. They feel a bit flimsy, but the coat is only $34.00. Yeah. It's so affordable. I mean, most coats like these are in the triple digits. So, I'm not really going to complain all that much (especially seeing as how I received it gratis). The measurements on the website are very accurate. I opted for the Size Large, after checking the measurements against one of my other coats.

I figured the coat would fit me like a slightly larger Size Medium and it basically fits that way. I'm 5'9" and I have broad shoulders. The length is perfect for my height and I'm guessing I'll be able to stuff a light/medium sweater underneath without any problems. If you're interested in the coat and you want to be able to wear a thick sweater underneath, I'd suggest an Extra Large. My measurements are 34/28/36, by the way. It wasn't terribly cold, so I wore the super cute cat shirt in place of knits. :3

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is one of my favorite outfits of the year. I love the mix of colors; the cat tee is just so much fun; and I look pretty respectable or whatever. Hope you like it! <3
