A color combination of blue and green a lot of people may not have tried, but it worked for this guy. He totally had the look for it. The plaid shirt stood out and the rugged brown shoes set it off.
So, if you have nothing else to do today, get creative with a plaid print in a fun color on the top or the bottom.
Take-Away Life Lesson: Unexpected color combinations can sometimes work well together when you least expect it.

I saw these pants flutter past me and I just had to have a look-see. I like that they’re not plain old black pants. I love how she kept the top simple because it brings out the pants that much more. Then she did just enough accessorizing with the jewelry to finish it off.
So, if you have nothing else to do today, think about ways you can introduce some zigzag or funky prints into your wardrobe.
Take-Away Life Lesson: There’s nothing wrong with channeling your inner zigzag so folks will stop and have a look-see.

How funky can you get at a fashion show? Bold? Risky? Awww, yeah, no one can say he’s not a risk-taker with his style. I love to see something new and different on the humans. Why should we all look alike all the time?
So, if you have nothing else to do today, work some blues and florals into your life.
Take-Away Life Lesson: Be bold and risky with your style every now and again and do something new and different that’s all your own.

What a cute blue dress with a fabulous scarf! I just love that she even thought to toss a scarf around her neck in a stylish way. She has a style all her own for a young one.
So, if you have nothing else to do today, try the many different ways there are to wear a scarf and/or infuse yourself with the color blue.
Take-Away Life Lesson: If a young’un can manage to put a little style and thought into her outfit, there’s really no excuse for anyone older than she is.
Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2014
Well this was my first time being a spectator at a fashion show in person. I have to say, it was super fun. I went two nights in a row and saw different designers rockin’ their designs down the runway. So awesome!
I got there early and started taking some pictures hoping to catch some interesting fashions on anyone.
Ava & Madelynn
Jackets, Dresses, Shoes—Justice
And look at these two little divas! How adorbz are they?
The girl on the left is Ava (she’s 7 years old) and the girl on the right is her sister Madelynn (her birthday was the same day of the show and she just turned 9 years old).
I have to say—I thought I’d be snapping pictures of a lot more people in interesting outfits but these two girls had the most interesting outfits on of the evening. Not that everyone else didn’t look nice—everyone was dressed rather well. There just wasn’t anything spectacular, you know? A lot of folks kind of looked similar to each other. Nothing really stood out to me other than the girls.
Thanks for letting me take your fabulous picture, girls!
On Jami: Top—Torrid; Jeans—Ashley Stuart; Shoes—Shoe Dazzle
On Me: Top—Victoria’s Secret; Tie—Men’s Wearhouse; Belt—Charlotte Russe
Another fashion spectator diva at the show was Miss Jami who was so gracious to allow me to take her picture.
Now THIS did catch my attention! The DJ was groovin’ the music super loud ALL night long! I mean—nonstop! And he never stood still. He was dancing all over the place in that DJ booth. His head almost fell off. ROCK ON, dude!
But his flowered pajama bottoms are what caught my attention. You go, boy! Nobody is going to tell him what he can and cannot wear!
It was a pretty full house. The fashion show didn’t quite sell out but it was plenty full of people.
Oh, and can I just say—the MEN are divine at these shows—or at least the show I went to. And I’m talking about the finely dressed distinguished gentlemen sitting in the audience watching the show and/or in the photographer pit taking pictures. Suits and ties and debonair, I tell you.
So, if you have nothing else to do today, scope out the next fashion show you can possibly attend—and GO and have a good time.
Take-Away Life Lesson: It’s always good to have an extra set of earplugs on standby in case you’re around loud music for 3 hours straight.
