outfit no. 7 [ jules ]

I posted photos of some NYC street art the other day, and I'm following up with an outfit inspired by the mix of colors and subjects you see around the city. Here I'm wearing a very colorful tie-dyed wrap skirt that looks like a beach ready sarong. I toned down the 'island-getaway' look with a pair of high platforms, a simple tee and a gold choker around my neck. 

I'm more of a basics of black, grey & white type of gal and seeing me wear bright and bold prints and patterns is a rare sight. Sometimes it's fun to wear something funky and unexpected of you.

On another note, the skirt is for sale on my eBay shop. If you're interested, the auction is still going until tomorrow (10 AM Pacific time). Just click here to renavigate to the shop.

utility pop

I know the neon trend isn't really big news, and the trend has waned a bit...

But combining the electro-pop color with some utilitarian goods, might be a nice revival to two things that have been all over the place. Plus, it's a way to give your larger & maybe loud wardrobe pieces a little longevity - that's never a bad thing; especially for your pocket!

I personally didn't invest largely into the neon/fluorescent fad - other than a couple of pieces here and there, but the military, utility and camo wear definitely has a multiplying effect in my wardrobe. 

outfit post coming soon!

paint it on

A good dose of painted skin should give anyone a rainy Monday pick-me-up. It is pouring here in New York, and second skin in painted form is always an excellent source of visual confection. 

Enjoy your Monday, everyone!
