Tough Cuff

By -
Who says seasonal dressing is on its way out? I still dress for the seasons. Autumn is "English country gentleman attends Oxford", winter is "Katherine Hepburn: Wild West Saloon Owner", spring is "What the hell are you wearing?" and summer is "Pin-up? Moi?" Aren't these the seasons everyone else is talking about?

While, I love my retro looks, I don't want to go full costume. Since I love an element of "wrongness" to contrast an outfit, I like heavy jewelry for my girly outfits. Bracelets are the perfect touch for the bare arms of summer.Top: honeycomb bangle, Belle Noel at Nordstrom $78

I'm all for dressing seasonally. Otherwise, there's nothing special about different times of the year.

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

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.

Best of all, the earrings I've featured here today all cost only $12.95. (Although the shop sells some other higher priced goods).
