Colour explosion!
When I wore this outfit I felt like I was wearing a lot of colour. Looking at the photos now? Not so much.
I think in person though. rocking three brights at once is not something that comes easy for most. It certainly doesn't for me. Wearing one bright is enough, two is slightly intimidating and three is something I never thought I'd go for... until now.
I've been pushing my 'fashion box' limits lately, and wearing lots of colour is part of that. I used to be a big neutral person, but I'm trying to take advantage of the big colour-blocking (and neon) trend that is happening for this spring and summer. It's actually gotten to the point where I'm now no longer even wanting to wear neutrals! I am constantly going for the colours in my closet, versus the black and greys. Success!
How do you feel about wearing a lot of colour ?
Later that day, some girlfriends and I went out for a movie and drinks, so I slipped on my neon pink shorts and kept the rest of the outfit the same. Now how's that for adding even more colour!
Other ways I've multiple colours:
* Bright accessories: shades, pashmina & necklace
* While working out / gettin' my fitness on
* Purple dress, orange necklace (a suggestion from a friend)
* My first colour blocking outfit
* Watermelon colours (I love this)
* The 'Easter threw up on me' outfit

Outfit deets:
* Jacob dress (thrifted) which you have seen once before with a pink cardigan (one of my favourite outfit posts, actually).
* Payless nude pumps (new!) that I picked up recently and absolutely love (and get a ton of compliments on). They also have a rubber bottom so it makes walking in them super easy. I want these next!
* eBay necklace that is no longer available but here is a similar metallic orange one and another one in turquoise (currently sold out but you can request to be notified when they re-stock it).
Dress to impress him... or yourself?
This is something I've given quite a bit of thought to lately. In my previously relationship, I didn't care what he thought, I wore what I liked and he usually liked it too. Now, I know there were certain things he wasn't a fan of (leggings) so I typically avoided those when we would be doing something together (despite my love for them), but generally, I didn't really care. My body, my style, my choice.
To this day that stays true.

However.
Sometimes I know I'm wearing something kind of man repelling and certainly not for the guys (hello, it's for me
and tha ladies); but at the same time, I don't want to dress in
something someone I'm dating will find unattractive, either.
Has your style changed due to your relationship?
Who do you typically dress for (other than yourself)? Women or men?
