Rules are Meant to be Broken

I am rule follower. 

I rarely break the rules in life – that’s just a part of my type A personality. He he.

But what I have started to do is bend and sometimes break the rules when it comes to fashion. I just love the way fashion has progressed where colour blocking, pattern contradictions, and manipulating an outfit in a way that’s unique to you is totally acceptable now. 

Pairing my new green wedges mentioned here with my royal blue peplum skirt mentioned here broke some of the rules. 

The colours don’t necessarily complement each other. So I decided to wear a solid while t-shirt to ground the outfit. Adding another vibrant colour to the mix would have been a bit much. Yes, I am capable of paring down the flash when necessary. My white Fossil watch also added a casual element needed to also ground the outfit.

Remember, as long as your attitude matches your outfit, no one can call you out for breaking some of the rules. Wear it. Own it.

 Ladies, have you broken any rules lately? I promise I won't tell.

Flirty Summer

Do you know that men are instantly more attractive to women when they wear a white shirt / t-shirt with a pair of jeans? This is not just a Ramona fact. A scientific research study showed that men in plain white t-shirts were %12 more attractive than when they wore something else.  Just picture it ladies. It’s true right?

I think white is flattering on women and men. Too often women shy away from a white top because we think it my show our “trouble areas.” This is not true. When you find a white top that is cut appropriately for your body, it can be one of the most flattering / go-to pieces on your closet.

White shirts and t-shirts are a staple in my closet. I am always looking for simple white cotton ts and white button down shirts.

I was over the moon when I found this gorgeous white sheer shirt from Max Studio. Notice the panels and bow detail. Perfection.

I decided to pair my pretty white top with a pair of grey sorts and gold accessories.

I am IN LOVE with this gorgeous clutch that was sent to me from my gorgeous cousin Sam. It’s almost a retro glam style. Look at the huge gems and beading on it.

I didn’t want to dress the outfit up too much so I decided on a pair of gladiator sandals, which added a rough detail to the outfit.
