'Beware the Ides of March'

When I first got dressed for these photos, I wanted to emphasize the lipstick, the jacket (excellent find and so warm though it sheds like my cats in Spring) and my awesome new fedora....didn't really work out as well as I thought - the overall look was waaaaaaaaaaaay too plain...

...enter loads of necklaces, rings and studded belt...

Looooove my new orange lip color by Mac!  Spring be damned, ain't no one can wait for you!  So, I debuted it a bit early.

''Tis Best to Weigh the [Garment] More Mighty Than it Seems'

One must give credit where credit is due, and I must say it was the BF who inspired me to try different shapes in clothes and to get out of my comfort zone. I was the girl who would turn up her nose to the draped, misshapened thing on the hanger while shopping until the BF simply said, 'try it on'. And ladies, I've never looked back. I've had so much fun in the last year trying on different shapes and colors! 

These slightly modified harems are always a challenge for me to wear.  I'm still slightly intimidated when it comes to out-there-fashion. But I'm quickly getting over my shyness as more and more fabulous, outrageous pieces come strutting down runways.

That being said, I am still wary of some garments, for though they are fierce on the runway, they don't always translate on the streets.  So I say, ladies, always try on a garment.  It may look 100% different/better on you than it does on the hanger.
