A Fashion Community

I love fashion because it is my palette. I am not a very good artist, but I LOVE to create. Fashion allows me to mix colors and patterns and has an endless amount of possibilities for creativity.

But the biggest reason I love fashion is the community that it creates.

Every woman can talk about something fashion related, whether they know a lot about fashion or very little. I love standing in a clothing store and having someone comment on what I’m holding. Fashion is an ice breaker and allows for conversations and relationships to begin.

I love sending texts to my friends of cute things I’m thinking of buying and getting their feedback. And most of all, I love when they trust me enough to send me pictures of their outfits and ask my opinion.

I would love to start a fashion community on this blog.

If you have an outfit/hairstyle that you are incredibly proud of, I ask you to send me a picture of it, so I can share in your joy/excitement. If you have questions about a piece of clothing/hairstyle and aren’t sure if it “works”, please send me a pic and I will gladly/gently give you my thoughts.

And if you’re okay with it, I would LOVE to put the pictures up on the blog to have other readers comment and affirm your choices. Because aren’t you so much more likely to wear/buy something if someone else tells you something like, “Oh, that color looks SO good on you!”

Let’s be friends!

Happy Friday, friend!

Black Out

Today’s Coast to Coast Challenge was “Black Out” and this one was the most difficult challenge for me so far. I surprisingly don’t own that many black tops and didn’t want to come across too fancy or look like I was going to a funeral.

I was super excited to finally get to feature my rad sequin scarf I got for $5 at a random store in Oceanside. Never pass up on “random” clothing stores, even if the things inside look like crap. You might just find hidden treasures. 😉

Leather

When I hear leather, I think boots and jackets. I wish I had some leather pants, but I’m a afraid of getting into a Ross & leather pants scenario.

Remember that on Friends? So funny.

So, here is my outfit for today’s Coast to Coast Challenge.
