Just a quick irrelevant note… I’m hoping for a new, more creative name for this blog, so as I post feel free to make suggestions

Onto business! I stumbled upon a post by Teen Vogue on twitter about some of their favorite fashion bloggers and the first photo was this color-blocking look:

Now, I would love to rock this look during the daytime, but Kalamazoo (where I currently am) couldn’t handle it. However, I have a few pieces that took this same idea from daytime chic into a fabulous outfit out on the town. I usually wear black on black on black (not even kidding) so this was a bold move for me! See how it turned out:

I have similar black pumps (Target $30) to the ones in the Teen Vogue photo, but the summer shoes I chose are one of my fave pairs. Kim Kardashian hooked a sista up! I did carry a simple black Kate Spade bag (my first-ever designer bag… it created a monster) to tone down the look a bit. Like I said, small-town can’t hang with bold moves! I had so much fun with this outfit and it was a great way to stand out among the crowd – I definitely have a few things in mind for next time I break out this style technique.

I am wearing:

- Express Sequin Pocket Tee (Clearance for $9.99 or less… I also have it in black)

- H&M Orange Skirt (Clearance for $5 two weeks ago on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago)

- ShoeDazzle snakeskin heels ($39.95 at www.shoedazzle.com)

I’m also rocking some ultra fab extensions… more on those later.
