Guys! I've decided to do another t-shirt style challenge for the month of July! w00t! I haven't worn this octopus tee in so long and that bothers me, because it's fantastic. I got to thinking about all of the other shirts that haven't been getting much wear lately and that's when I realized that a revival was in order.
I guess you can considered today's outfit as a bit of a preview of what's to come. ^_^ I really want to push the limits, this time, and do more with colors and patterns. I'm looking forward to seeing what my brain comes up with. Hehe. So, in this outfit, I started with the octopus tee and built the rest of the outfit around it. I liked how the sky blue and orange looked with the super bright neon plaid skirt, so I just went with it. I really want to take more risks and wear brighter colors more often. :DDD
I tempered the bright colors with the black fedora, black satchel and black ankle booties. Also, I couldn't resist adding the octopus socks to the mix. Hehe. I think the colors were subtle enough that they didn't overpower the whole outfit. I also wanted to avoid giving people too many places to look. The eyes can only handle so much, really. I think the socks increased the quirk factor ever so slightly. ;P
This outfit is so f*cking cute, right? I know. No worries, though. I'll scare the daylights out of you, eventually...when you least expect it. Haha. For now, I'm just getting in touch with my softer side. ;D
