{gray}

The sky knows.  The trees are catching on too.  Gray is here.  It's that hue soft-like and a swell kinda easy.  Not in.your.face.  Not brilliant.  Almost not there sometimes too.  But it's a base like you would not believe.  I am becoming one head banging-buy the concert tee shirt fan of this crayon in my box of fashion.

Now, if you know me.  You know I tend to be a teensy bit CAP LOCK obsessive with oh, anything.  If I want red lipstick?  Um, Ima put it on something thick.  If I like sparkles on my nails? You better believe it's going on my toes too.  If there's donuts? I'm eating 7 not 1.  If I like my perfume? Well, step waaay back, because you can bet I will have about a good 8 pumps sprayed on my person.

I am tRyiNg to simmer my soul with the whole all or nothing mindset, but what He hath putteth in me, cannot beith denied.  Hence, I just went Skeletor on this He-Man hue.

Yeah, I did.

Shall I mention now that I see no reason to discriminate between prints and wearing them ALL TOGETHER or should I just let you make your own fashion deductions?  No, sweetie.  Don't adjust your screen.  It's not flashing at you.  That would be the dots on.my.legs and the not just horizontal or vertical BUT BOTH type of stripes combined on my torso WITH a hot-tastic splash of..wait for it...SHARPIE NEON YELLOW for a belt.

In the words of my homeboys, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, BOOM Shake Shake The Room.

There are times to care.  HUGE times to feel concern and to deliberate.  About 90% of the time, fashion IS NOT one of the categories in which deliberations or caring should be in order.  My motto?  

  • Cover your parts.
  • Invest in happy pieces.
  • Enjoy expressing yourself.

Life is short.  Fashion hard, people.
