Hey, did you guys know it’s 2014?! Just wanted to make sure. The new year is very exciting and all, but as you know, this blog takes itself very seriously, so there is no time for frivolous celebration. We have to get down to business. And talk about nudity.
No, not real nudity. I’m talking about when you see someone wearing a piece of clothing that is close to their skin tone and for a hot second you think they’re naked. Awkward. Sometimes I wonder if those people looked in the mirror before buying a cream/blush/beige/tan/brown t-shirt. But then again, sometimes those colors can be really pretty, like this sort of blushy beige sweater I’m wearing here. So I came up with a rule (and the only rules that matter are the ones I make up): a naked shirt is OK if it has some kind of pattern or texture to let even quick glancers know that you didn’t forget a key step in the getting dressed process.
I think that’s a good rule, don’t you? So next time you see someone in a naked shirt, go up to them and explain the rule, and offer to paint polka dots on them. They’ll love it, I promise.
Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

What’s worse are the women who wear nude leggings (why even make that color leggings? honestly?) without properly covering the bum. Not something you can unsee. I saw this sweater at LOFT and wanted it, but actually exercised self control. I’m once again exercising self control in not clicking the link you provided that I know will lead me to their site which is up to 60% off right now.
Nude leggings are the WEIRDEST thing ever! You’re right…what is the point? And I’m very impressed with your self-control. I’m trying to rediscover mine currently.
cute shirt! 🙂
happy new year!!

Just the other day, I saw a woman sitting on a bar stool at a restaurant. Her jeans and sweater were black, but she had a long satiny tank top on underneath her sweater that had a very unfortunate wrinkle right in the middle. At first glance, I would have sworn her entire butt was showing. It was a very poor choice of outfit for sitting on a bar stool.
That sweater is super sweet!
Love the combination of patterns, the lace and polka dots! Would love to try something similar.
Go for it! I’m all about the mixing 🙂
