Fine and Dandy

10/18/2017

Just some black and white monochrome with some subtle pattern mixing and splashes of colour. Nbd. I'm still just loving the hell out of this crop top. I've decided that I'm just going to keep wearing it until it falls apart or until I perish from the Earth, whichever comes first. Heh. Yep. Rad granny in a crop top. It's gunna happen, y'all. Mark my words. >;D~ I don't think I'll ever tire of the butterfly skirt, either. <3

That being said, it's crazy hard for me to find novel ways of styling it, for some reason. It's a real eye-catcher and, if I'm not careful, I run the risk of just completely overwhelming the senses, so I try to wear the skirt with care. I think I was able to do it justice, while also taking some risks with mixed prints. I just love the cute turquoise print on the bright yellow canvas of the socks. Just enough whimsy. <3

At it's core, the outfit is pretty bare bones, but I don't think 'minimalist' is synonymous with 'boring.' If there's one thing I've learned so far, it's that you can do quite a lot with very little. Hope you enjoy!

when it comes to minimalism, I don't uderstand why it is associated with plain black and white clothes, the idea of having 20 white t-shirts and 5 pairs of black jeans is not the thing. You can be maximalist when it comes to style and at the same time minimalist when it comes to the quantity of clothes you own/wear at the moment. And the opposite.
The print on your skirt is adorable, I didn't know these are butterflies until I saw it closer! Also love your socks <3 they kinda cheer up this outfit.

Man, I *have* noticed the synchronization of black, white, grey and "minimalism." I guess it's because it's easy to mix and match those colors, if you want to have a largely "minimalist" wardrobe. I agree that, when approached from the wrong mindset, it can be incredibly limiting.

Glad you like the skirt, by the way! I love it, too! <3
