Optimus Primary

Dammit. It snowed. I was just starting to get used to a heretofore unknown, snowless winter. Gaia gets me, every time. You got me, girl. It's OK, though. On this day, I came prepared, you see. :DDD
Mmmhm. I put together a colorful slap in the face for winter. >:D Wearing bright colors is pretty much my only defense against seasonal affective disorder, besides alcohol. You can only have so many spiced rum chai teas and whiskey infused horchatas, though. I mean, I think. I dunno. Who knows?

Picture

Anyway, the point is to blind Gaia every time I step outside the house. She thinks I'm going to be all sad and pissed about having to shovel snow. She thinks I'm going to be wearing my feelings in the form of black and grey. Then, BAM! I just playfully mess with or Rickroll her, if you will. Hehe. Yes, it will be annoying, but deep down there's a part of all of us that enjoys it.  ♫ Never gunna give you up.... ♫

So, much of what I'm wearing here isn't new. In that regard, there are some honorable mentions. The ping pong shirt hasn't gotten any wear since September, which is a shame. It's one of my favorite shirts. I wore a thermal top and then another long sleeved top over that to make the shirt winter-ready.
I used the
black pleated lace skirt
as a layering tool, last summer. Click here to see how I wore it.

Picture

Hmm? Oh, the link you're looking for would be here. My apologies. ;D So, this blue pom pom hat is a new addition to my wardrobe. I received it from my sponsor, Oasap. It was $6.72 the last time I checked. It's my first blue hat and the multi-color pom pom is pretty fun. I'm happy with it. ^_^ I wore my hair in thick braids and I had a pair of bulky ear warmers on underneath, so it may look a bit lumpy. >_<

Picture

This is my first time wearing these multi-color socks. They're so bright and fun. :D Last year, I won a Threadless style contest and one of my prizes was a gift card to Sock It To Me. So, I was able to pick out several pairs of socks. The socks I ordered were well-made and they had nice quality prints. ^_^

Picture

So, that's that. I made a concerted effort to go an entire post without saying anything self-deprecating about my ability to put colors together. Ohhhhh, how I wanted to. >_< Haha. I'm trying to be more confident about my color coordination. Being unduly negative can undermine that confidence, I know. That being said, I always appreciate constructive feedback.
If you have ideas about how I could have made this outfit better, don't be afraid to say something! :D Thanks and have an awesome weekend!

I love the look. The red coat looks really good with your skin. I wish I had awesome rainbow socks like that! I did get a lot of fun socks for Christmas though :)

Fun socks are awesome! :D I'm just as obsessed with socks as I am with weird looking sweaters. Haha. I have soooo many and I just don't wear them all that much. I feel like I should do a sock challenge to force myself to wear every pair of socks I have in an interesting way. I keep adding to my sock drawer and I need to hold back on that until every pair has been worn at least three times. >_<

Love the punches of color in this outfit! I'm obsessed with Valentino's new rainbow collection, and this totally reminds me of it. Such a whimsical look!

I think it's almost impossible to eff up a primary color combination outfit. Not that you would eff it up...I think your colorful outfits are always on point :)

Also, those socks. They're so bright and cheerful!
