What and Where
Thank God its Friday! I did not originally plan to take photos and do a post today as I didn't think my outfit was particularly blog worthy. I didn't have enough time to get ready this morning, didn't bother with more well-chosen accessories besides the two I got and just blasted my hair with hot air for a couple of minutes to dry them. Results: not quite fantastic.
First of all, I was going to wear jeans, not just any jeans but a pair of skinny jeans that I've never, ever worn yet! This may not sound like a big deal to you but I haven't owned a pair of these for a long, long time. I have tried purchasing one but my recent experience had given me such an awful muffin look that I've decided that the skinny jeans trend is NOT for me. Why I have a pair now, well, that's another story.
So why this post you might ask? Today, a friend of mine made a comment saying - "I don't like that look. I don't think florals and polka dots work together!" So, to spite him (because I'm always the bigger person in that way) and of course, to solicit your thoughts if this is so. I know there are fashion rules that exist and are not meant to be broken but hey, life isn't fun that way. Looking at the results of our five-minute photo shoot today, I say... it works!
Have you broken any rules (fashion or otherwise) lately? Here's to living on the edge and enjoying this fabulous hot summer!

Hey Marilou...
Very smart... I see a trend here, you keeping us, your follower, on the edge. the shoes and the dress, very different and risky, nice risk, that what fashion should be all about... Very Gracious of you in the nature reminding everybody and even in the wildest setting you look great... nice car, perfect with what I think your personality is, young and joyful! very nice touch with "think outside the box" and is exactly what you are doing, outside, risking it every day, what's next? Well, you are setting the bar very high even to yourself. Good job! I guess what your mind thinks is... The sky is the limit, "Imagination is more important than knowledge" as Albert Einstein said... well thought Marilou, well thought. can't wait to see more....
I think the look works. I like the polka dots and the floral -- clashing patterns are brave and awesome, and if you feel good you look good, so there! Thanks for you're awesome email! I'll definitely be keeping track of your blog, you have fantastic style!
