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.

Picture

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

Picture

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

Picture

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

That outfit is the CUTEST OMG!!! I love that you threw in the octopus socks and your tee has a little Steve Zissou vibe :) Can't wait to see what other outfits you put together for your t-shirt challenge.

I LOVE this outfit! T-shirts with skirts are my jam and this combination is perfect. The colors in your plaid skirt are wonderful and I love how they look with your octopus tee. Perfect.

I've been eyeballing my t-shirt as well, I don't own much and I don't even wear the little I own, so this post is just what I needed, some fresh ideas to spice up my tees! ^_^
I love the plaid combo, your hipster octopus is my favorite t-shirt ever! ^^

Team Zissou octopus <3 That's such a whimsical print, it really stands out.
The skirt really compliments the shirt. Besides it's such a pretty skirt!

It's indeed such a cute outfit! I think you are right about colors :) I am now going "down" the hill too, wearing more black and white! I loved this skirt, you know I love skirts and yours are always so cute! I also loved the octopus T-shirt! I think you always have so cute outfits and look so beautiful! But I like your "scary" looks, as well!

"The eyes can only handle so much, really." Haha.. you are so right. That's why it's hard for me to pair bright colors from top to bottom, but you do it very well.

That neon plaid skirt...fabulous. Vintage?

You are the second blogger this week I've seen sporting an octopus t-shirt. Did I miss the memo? ; P

Although you are the only one wearing octopus socks! My husband would love these!

I'm kind of obsessed with cephalopods, so I'm wondering about that other shirt that you saw.... :D

10/10 for coordination. Everybody go home; the lady in blue hath slain it!

(Seriously, every time I think I love this outfit as much as I possibly can, I notice a new element of it.)

I wish I could afford to fly you over here so that you can style all of my millions of Threadless tees into really cool outfits that I'll wear all the time. GAWD, my style has become so BORING in the last year. I'm dying!

Aww. If I could afford it, I'd visit! I'll take any excuse to see that part of the world. Haha. Though the thought of sipping mixed bevs, dumping out your whole closet and playing dress up is very appealing in and of itself. :P
