Yellow and Black

By -
Without realizing it, I've developed a new color obsession. While flipping through my recent Polyvore sets, I noticed that I like to pair edgy black clothes with bright yellow. The trend seems to be sharp shapes or bold cuts with layers of beige and grey, but I just can't do that. When I experiment with clothes, I'm happy, so the outfit needs a happy color. And what better color can fight off black's serious face than yellow?

Love these outfits! But I'm commenting because they made me think of a little outfit "rule" I think I heard once (or maybe just made up): every outfit should have a shot of black somewhere... i.e., a belt or a watchstrap if not a whole piece (like a skirt or a cami). Agree or disagree?

Completely disagree. Having a base color for a bright outfit can be a good idea, but black isn't the only neutral you can do that with. If you're colorful outfit falls into certain themes (spring pastels, jewel tones, primary colors, etc) it's easy to drop the neutral all together.

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Sweet Sleep Bra

I've been waiting Anthropologie's ruffled bra and panty set to go on sale. What it lacks in the sex appeal of Anya's retro ensemble , it makes up for in cute ribbons and ruffles. The set is available in cream and pink , rose and black, or grey and black , but I prefer the dark of the latter to offset the sweetness of the look. The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties , however, is still laughable.
