I've been *trying* to transition away from wearing bright colors all the time. It's hard...but fun mixing things up. The base of this outfit is black and white, including a bold stripe tank to create interest. To tone down the 2 color graphic look, I threw on a sleeveless pastel pink top that has neon yellow accents. I love the mix. My favorite part, of course, is the rhinestone lip Lulu Frost necklace. It's the perfect funky accent piece.

WOW this outfit! WOW this field! It was a beautiful time. "Meet me at the edge of the world" is a new album Over The Rhine is coming out with soon. I just saw them play and they talked about their home and land in Cincinnati, Nowhere Farm...twirling around this field reminded me of this and their beautiful music. (I love Karin and Linford)
This outfit was perfect for the surrounding scenery. It's simple elegance with lush fabrics and oversized fit has made it my new fave...and it's great to twirl and dance in. I got the lovey vintage copper skirt and  Oscar de la Renta kimonoish piece from a fashion event at NOTO, a small boutique in downtown Akron. The black top is a silk, raw edge tee from Banana Republic. The trendy rose gold sandals are a cute and surprisingly comfy pair from Forever 21.

Can you tell I'm super jazzed about these Sam Edelman leopard boots? Maybe I should ask myself, how many pairs of leopard shoes are too many?...I don't know. I'll save that to be discussed in a separate post...for now I'm going to enjoy my habit. I might have been excitedly skipping around in these the past few days. How can you not love that crazy pattern?

Here is a simple outfit with some bold details. Bright color top with ruffle collar is from jcrew. The black leggings with gold zipper detail is from Zara...you can always find great basics with a twist there! Jewelry is a bunch of layered pieces from my line, AC Design. For the Sam Edelman boots, I got an amazing deal from 6pm.com. Their prices are constantly changing so you have to keep your eyes out so you can snag the best deal.
