It's been heating up quite a bit here already, though I can't seem to pull out my short sleeves yet. [To be fair, I still wear long sleeves 60% of the time in the summer anyway. Call me crazy, but I just like them better?] I am a huge fan of patterned shirts, especially stripes! You'll probably be seeing this shirt a lot, because it's one of my favorites.
When it comes to the accessories, I have to reiterate what I said yesterday: make sure the accessories are the same color or theme. It is probably the most important part of the outfit. If the accessories are wrong, the whole outfit is wrong. In this outfit, I tied in the purple/red color from the flowers on my shoes with the same color hat. With the pop of color on both ends of the body, it ties the whole look together. It's also important to remember that the colors of your accessories compliment the colors of your outfit! [Other than that, my only other huge accessories "no-no" is to not over accessorize. If you are wearing a chunky necklace, wear stud earrings. If you are wearing bold, statement earrings, don't wear a necklace--or if you do, wear a dainty one. Over accessorizing by wearing big earrings and a chunky necklace, can ruin an entire outfit. And it takes away from your gorgeous face! Accessorize in moderation, ladies, and make sure to spread out those accessories!]
Day 7 of the Blog Every Day in May challenge: Things you're most afraid of.
To be completely honest, I am kind of a baby. I'm afraid of the usual: spiders, snakes, scorpions, murderers, etc. Basically anything that can harm me. But what I am most afraid of is the unknown. The dark--you never know who or what is out there. [Someone or something who might hurt you?] The future--you never know what might happen. [Will you lose your job? Will you get in a car accident? Will one of your family members pass away?] Your actions--you never know the consequences of an action. [Will you cause accidental harm to someone because of your actions?] And not knowing, scares me to death. It's honestly something that I think about--probably more than the average person. And, much to my demise, I watch way too many murder investigation shows, and freak myself out to no end!
What are YOU most afraid of?
