Matching is so overrated....(see why HERE).

P.S. 100 FOLLOWERS?? WHAAT? It's hard to believe but exactly 1 month, 2 days, and (almost exactly!) 12 hours after the launch of my blog I've reached 100 followers by Google Friend Connect! I reached 100 total followers (on all platforms combined) a few weeks ago. But there's something so visually pleasing and official about the number in GFC. I took a screen shot, obviously. Even more pleasing? 200! (just kidding....kind of).

I'm thinking of doing a celebratory giveaway....ideas? What would you guys like for a giveaway?

P.P.S Check out THIS post and my first SPONSOR, OASAP!!! (can you tell I'm excited?)

I am super excited to introduce you to my very first sponsor....OASAP! 6 days after the launch of my blog, and two posts in, you can imagine how surprised I was to see an email from the brand sitting in my inbox! You may have noticed the ad on the right hand side (scroll down a bit and click on it if you'd like).  Also, I'd like to express my awe and respect for fashion bloggers everywhere, who all winter long stand outside in the cold; coatless, with smiles frozen on their faces, for the sake of a blog. By the end of this shoot, my lips were chattering and my fingers blue. It may look all mild and warm and comfortable in these pictures, but I can assure you it WAS NOT. I guess that's what I get for wearing shorts in the middle of January.

If there were to be one thing written on my forehead, it would be "Shop-aholic". Since my mother probably wouldn't let me tattoo that on my forehead, I'll have to live with a bracelet to do the job. Everyone needs some way to identify themselves. Like it or not, there are stereotypes and categories that we all fit into somehow. And although "Shop-aholic" isn't an option under "Please select your race", I'm convinced we're our own species. When I'm shopping, you do NOT want to get in my way.

I'm a BIG fan of combat boots. Anything that will make my size 9's look like size 11's are the shoes for me!

Just kidding. Although I do like combat boots, it's not because they make your feet look bigger. Even if they do. I can get over that teeny detail for the fact that they make a twirly, girly outfit a bit more edgy. One-sided outfits aren't interesting enough, in my opinion. I need my outfits to be two-faced; to have one distinct vibe and another overshadowed vibe that you can find if you look hard enough. These particular boots might not be considered combat boots, but they're some form of man-hiking-combat boots that make this outfit a bit more me. Whenever I am looking to add something to my outfit, it's usually in the form of footwear, legwear, or neckwear. Hallelujah for patterned tights, crazy shoes, and chunky necklaces! How do you add spice to your outfits?

Tonight was spent with my two best friends watching Titanic (and crying), then watching Bridesmaids as a pick me up. As a blog about fashion, my general life is clearly not the focus. Many of you want to hear me write about the latest fashions, what I bought where, where and when I wore it, how I style it, etc......or maybe not. But sometimes, even if it is not interesting to the majority, you have to do something for someone else. Or two someone elses.  Thank you, Nicole and Mary, for following me from the beginning and being two of the best friends anyone could ever have! I don't know what I'd do without the two of you to make me laugh every day! (Don't you just love those cheeseball moments?)

Some days, matching isn't a top priority. As long as you feel good and YOU think you look good, it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks, right? And if you're confident wearing your haphazard outfit, people may start to think that it really is stylish.  In this outfit, my source of kookiness is two different, mismatched purples. I like looking a little out there sometimes. It's just further proof that fashion is for myself, not for anyone else. I wear outfits because they please me, not because I'm trying to impress someone (not to say that I don't want you to like them...;) ).
