In Her Dark Shadow (Barely There Challenge!) - Part 4/9

6/12/2014

Back to regularly scheduled programming! :D Honestly, this isn't that scary. I could see someone freaking out if I came around a corner on the sidewalk and ran into him/her. But I mean, if I saw someone wearing this outfit in the middle of downtown I would just think: 'Oh you don't see that everyday. Wicked!' Hehe. I hope people watchers got some good viewing material, at least.
^_^
So, there isn't much to this outfit. I'm wearing a dress. Blah. Stupid challenge! Haha >_< It's a single garment, though, so I'm wearing the least possible number of pieces. :D To jazz things up a bit, I wore my favorite steampunk specs and some neon socks (and of course there's a colorful backdrop, too!)

Picture

Also, you'll notice that I'm not wearing a single piece of jewelry. This is pretty normal for me.
Generally, I have to consciously remember to add a bauble or two to my outfits. Other times, there are outfits that just really need that little something extra and I automatically know what needs to be added. In this case, though, I wanted to accentuate the minimalist aspect of the outfit by keeping it very clean.

Picture

Earlier this year I won a Style Contest held by Threadless. My prizes included a gift certificate to Sock It To Me. So, I bought several pairs of socks including these babies. I knew I'd be able to do some neat things with them and I don't think I've ever worn neon, so I was like yeah f*ck it, just buy them. Hehe. They're super comfortable and soft. Great quality! Thank you, Threadless and Sock It To Me! <3


Picture

I wear these black slotted ankle booties at least once a week. I've become quite smitten with them. They're just perfect. The only thing I'm noticing so far is that the faux leather is quite delicate. I hope it can stand constant wear, because I feel like these are the only shoes of this type that I'll ever need.

Picture

Oh and I just want to point out a couple things about this black maxi dress. First off, it's a ModCloth piece and I got it through my swap group. Yay! Second, it's sophisticated as hell. It looks so simple, but it has a subtle complexity and elegance due to the sheer angular fabrics. It's a very smart garment and I think it's the perfect piece to showcase minimalist style. I've worn the dress twice already, but I layered up a lot each time so the dress was cleverly hidden. Click here and here to see two additional ways to style it. I probably won't wear it
à la carte again, so.. yeah. Get a good look from now, I guess. Hehe.
It was 80 degrees and sunny, but I felt quite comfortable. The dress is so breathable that the heat really didn't phase me. So, yeah. In your face, Helios! >=|~ ~ Haha. Have a great weekend, folks! <3

THOSE glasses :) And I love the socks, they look great combined to black :) I have been wearing less jewellery currently, too. Or if I wear, I am very picky :D

I love this minimal look. It really lets the neon socks stand out. And I can't believe those sunglasses! So ridiculously cool!

I LOVE the socks! Haha, you look amazing. :D The pop of colour is so incredibly effective.

Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who forgets to accessorize. I really do have to purposefully think about it. At least you always have a handbag. The fact that I don't really do handbags or jewelery is a pretty epic fail for a supposed fashion-y person. :D

Hehe. Sometimes, I don't even want to carry a bag. I prefer backpacks, but I just don't have one that will go with everything. Plus, I don't think a bag is really necessary to make an outfit, anyway. It's just something you carry for practical purposes (i.e. to hold your stuff), right? If you're not carrying anything or if you just have a wallet on you, then by all means just put it in your pocket. You'll still look awesome (unless the pocket is on a fanny pack or something haha) ^___^

I don't wear that much jewelry either. I feel kind of weird and restricted in my movements when I'm wearing a lot of jewelry :D
Love this styling! The neon socks are winners here! :D
