There are two theories which could explain my recent tendency towards dressing in clothes which pop.

Hayfever is prematurely affecting my brain
It breeds confidence

I like to think the latter theory fits my current situation better. We all know that sense of self consciousness when we walk out of the house any day, however small it may be. It tugs at the bottom of the stomach in twangs and as the clothes become bolder, the twangs grow with them. Lately I have decided to go against those little voice telling me that people will look at me funny, telling me that I am overdressed or under dressed, that my outfit is too daring or too simple. Because who’s to stop me from looking fabulous if I want to? Unless you’re a attending a funeral or plan to rob a building in the middle of the night, dress codes can be disregarded as silly social expectations. Now, I already find myself more comfortable wearing whatever it is that I decide to wear.

Sometimes simple is better. At other times, there is no such thing as OTT. Today seemed to me to be the perfect day to don this culottes and bomber set. The grass felt greener, the sun warmer. Really no different from grey on grey, this patterned pair is a fail proof way to hail in spring when it hasn’t even started yet. This outfit is the wrecking ball of the culotte trend and sweeps up the sneaker trend in its midst. However, it keeps a point of difference with its unique pattern which sets it apart from becoming monotonous. It transitions from day to night like a dream, because it glows at any point in the day.

I don’t know about you, but my head’s definitely up in the clouds.
