Why Did You Wear That: Mr. Brightside

highlighted book

One way to get through the grey winter is to add some pops of bright to your typical all black uniform.  Everywhere you look from blazers to brassieres, it’s fluorescent.  You name it, it’s neon.  If you’re more the subtle type, accessorize with a neon belt or bright watch.  Feeling a bit more bold?  Colorblock with different shades of highlighter hues.

Setting the Mood: Hallucinate a Heatwave
Written by: WhyDid | Setting the Mood

Mark Twain once said, “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.”  Well, he certainly wasn’t kidding.  One would think living in California is all palm trees and sunshine… well, not so much.

After returning from the east coast this week, I realized how much I miss a real summer.  You know, the almost unbearable heat that lingers long past sunset and the humidity that can curl even the most perfectly coifed ‘do.  While it rarely dips below forty in California, the summers are never as warm as those of the east coast.  It never, ever feels like summer.  ”They” tell me it gets warm starting in September, but I don’t buy it.

These bright brights are just going to have to get me through the mild California summer.  Perhaps wearing something bright will radiate its own heat.

Why Did You Wear That: Get Sprung- Spring Did.
Written by: WhyDid | Why Did You Wear That?

Spring is officially here, so it’s time to overhaul your closets.  Time to toss the sweaters and leggings (thank god) and get ready to show some skin.  It’s time to stimulate our economy (it’s called being proactive).  So what if Obama’s trying to take back everyone’s bonuses?  Might as well look cute in the poorhouse.

  • Leather jacket- Wear it with jeans and a tank or over a long maxi dress. Works with both and gives you an easy “I didn’t try too hard” look. (Don’t worry, if you’re feeling timid, you don’t have to go with black. Try a shade of grey or tan).

  • Body Con dress- What have you been going to the gym for?  Shed off those extra layers and show off your toned bod.
