Hey! Merry XMAS, bros! :D Admittedly, I wore this outfit several days prior to this, but whatever. Haha. ^_^ I thought today would be a good occasion to share since this is colorful and quirky and whatnot.

Picture

So, once again, I'm not feeling super duper confident about what I've done here. Magenta, red, yellow and blue seemed like a good idea in my head, but when I finally put the colors together, I was like... o_O O_o Haha. Holy hell, that is bright! Then I went whole hog and added houndstooth pants just to be really annoying. :D I'm sure this outfit bothered a lot of people. The only thing that bothers me, though, is whether the colors really work together. I won't hash it out
ad nauseam like I did in my previous post, though. I'll spare you! Haha. I'll just give it some thought and make some notes, later. ^_^

Picture

So, these houndstooth pants are really fantastic and I'm super stoked to have them. I got them in a clothing swap and when I received them, they were much too big in the waist. I was pretty devastated, but I saved my pennies and took the pants to a seamstress who I absolutely trust. I asked her if she could make the pants more fitted and high waisted and she did a really amazing job!  ^_^

I'm looking forward to wearing these pants in even more annoying ways. Muahahaha. :D The rest of the outfit is remixed. I hadn't worn the braided blue elbow patch sweater in forever, so this outfit offered a wonderful excuse. It was one of my first ever purchases from Oasap. Click here to see how I last wore it. The bright pink coat is something that I wasn't sure about when I first got it, but then it slowly grew on me. It has become one of my favorite coats. Click here to see how I wore it in February of this year.

The red pom pom hat is from my sponsor, Oasap. It's pretty decent considering that it's only $5.90. I really, really wanted a red winter hat and now I finally have my first one. ^_^ I think I will try to get it in other colors. I probably wear my cat hats a bit too often. Hehe. It's nice to have a little variety. Though, I think these hats make my head look like a melon. Or...maybe it's the other way around? Haha. I *do* have a big head. >_<
Oh well. So, I haven't opened any gifts, yet. For some reason, I find all kinds of excuses to delay that bit. Haha. I'm weird. Anyway, I hope this post has you in good spirits! I'm looking forward to eating way more than a single person ever should and playing drinking games. :D

Every year, my partner and I have this tradition of watching random episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. We're dorks, you see. Haha. It's one of our favorite shows, though. We must have watched the whole thing like four times through, already. Anyway, we devised a pretty awesome drinking game
that we like to play while we watch. *shrug* That is what XMAS means to me: eating lots, drinking tasty bevs, snuggling and being totally lame with someone who loves you. So, here's to being lame! <3

I think the yellow, blue and magenta work and the yellow blue and red work as color combos. The black and white pattern grounds both combos.

I'm starting to warm up to the combos, the more I look at the outfit. Hehe. It'll just take time for me to build up my confidence when it comes to bright colors. Thanks! ^_^

Oh, you are too damn adorable. Don't you dare second-guess these colors. They belong together, I say! Perfect against the brick wall, too. And I'm glad you managed to have a sweet Christmas after all. (My family watches random episodes on Christmas too, but of Seinfeld, not Star Trek. Seinfeld is to my family as Star Trek is to you and your partner.)

Cheers to Looservile! You guys are the best nerdy couple ever! :D Me and the bf have a tradition to watch Love Actually every year. I practically molest him into seeing it, but I don't mind :D
Love this quirky and crazy outfit. The hat is magic, you're so cutesy!
Have a lovely holiday!!!! Don't let the family bring you down, just stay calm and eat food! :D

This is perfect, the use of colour is completely my style. I adore the print and it looks extra good with hot pink. Love the bag, I've been looking for a similar satchel style for awhile now (PS... Long time no see).

I don't know how you can even question this combo- I think you NAILED it! Love the brights and I can't believe those pants didn't fit you before- they are perfect on you now. Sounds like the perfect xmas- we do a lot of drinking, eating, and playing games over holidays too :)

I second guess myself constantly. Haha. It's a bad habit. >_< Yeah, I already told myself that I'd start watching my calories, next year. I'm just going to ignore that bit for now. Heh. If you can't carelessly eat, drink and be merry during the holidays, then why bother? ;D

I personally love all the bright colors. It reminds me that I want to be more daring with my wardrobe choices in the coming year. And I am so completely jealous of those pants! I'm glad you saved up to go get them fitted. I can't wait to move in with my girlfriend and come up with weird Christmas traditions like you have with your partner :)

CMYK! Haha, clever clever.

Great job pulling this off! I would've totally worn this combo a couple of years ago, but somehow my taste in palette got too drab this year! Whatever makes us happy, right?

Yeah, I've watched the whole Star Trek Gen series maybe just once all the way through. What was the word or whatever you were looking for while playing the drinking game, might I ask? lol.
