Weather: 64 degrees, Windy, Rainy

Song of the day: Ice Box - Omarion

Theme: Otome Girl

"""

How I came up with the outfit:

1) I've been purging on Otome* fashion five-ever (which is more than forever) and I really wanted to try an otome-inspired look. I saw this amazing lace dress in my closet and it just SCREAMED otome.

DAT LACE

2) It was cold so I needed to add some warmth. The dress is very thin as it is a spring dress :) So I added the blazer! Green partners well with black and cream and it works nicely with this outfit because it adds a nice soft pop of color. Luckily, the green is like a forest green so it is not too bright for the overall mature/vintage feel I was going for in the outfit.

3) The problem I often have with blazers is that when they are unbuttoned, they drown the shape of the outfit. This means the slight curve that I like to accentuate sometimes is lost in a hot mess of fabric TT.TT

So I like to add a belt! The belt on the dress draws the eye to assume there's some type of curve there!

4) For funsies I added the cat heels! The cream goes with the cream in the dress and brightens up the whole thing. The tights were for extra warmth and to play off of the lace in the dress.

5) This black, sliver, and gold charm necklace adds to the mature/vintage feel of the outfit. Plus the gold in the necklace helps to connect the gold in the belt to the rest of the outfit.

6) The hat. I throw on this hat all of the time. It's kind of a habit now.....>.<

Ice Box- Omarion

Weather is kinda chilly but not too bad Theme: grunge/lumberjack Song of the day: Without-Sampha

Why the outfit?:

I woke up and that's what was out....

I was thinking that I wanted to wear ripped jeans and the flannel just went really well

with it. The Jack Purcells just go with everything

Weather: "72 degrees" (I HIGHLY doubt that), Slightly windy, Sunny

Song of the day: High High- GD&TOP

Theme: Prep School Tomboy

(You guys have no idea how much fun I have coming up with these themes)

"""

How I came up with the outfit:

1) I actually was going to wear a grey sweater but I wasn't feeling it once I put it on. But since I'm lazy, I didn't want to take off my shoes so I decided to put the black and white bustier on.

2) IT WAS COLD so I put the blazer on (because once again, I don't like jackets that much)

3) The hat just added a playful "tomboy" touch to the outfit
