Loves, this is the story of letting yourself stay open to all the unexpected in the fashion world. If you had asked me a few months or weeks ago about what colors I liked to wear I would not have mentioned green. Not that I hated it–and have always loved kelly green–but I would have told you that green doesn’t look good on me. That I have to be careful with it. That any green that had the least bit of yellow in it wasn’t for me.
Loves, I was wrong. While shopping at one of my favorite LA boutiques, yes RecessLA!, one of my gay boyfriends insisted I try this dress on. The shape is insanely great and I loved the top, but I told him that the color wouldn’t look good on me. Luckily for us both, he didn’t listen or care. He made me try it on–and I loved it. Marie, the shop owner, loved it–it fits like a dream. And the color works! I love that it changes color in different light. I love that it’s perfect to pair with belts. I love that you can dress it up or down. And I love that it’s a little out of my comfort zone.
The moral? Yes, like what you like. But leave yourself open to all the yummy unexpected out there, it may just look great on you!
