Blue on Black

October 11, 2012

Somewhere someone is singing the blues because of this title…well cheer up if you are its Hump Day!
I wore this casual outfit out a few weeks ago with friends to just get some drinks at a favorite pub nearby. The place is VERY casual, so I usually try to dress down a bit instead of wearing heels and fancy pants which make me “that girl.” Although I love a good pair of sweats and a sweatshirt, sometimes I just like to feel a bit more put together despite an unannounced “dress code.” And since I have to dress up iwork each day, I like to sport my non-work appropriate clothes on the weekends when I can.

::Jeans Gap, Shoes Steve Madden (Marshalls), Clucth ZARA, Jewely Francescas Macys David Yurman Banana Republic, Shirt FigLeaf Boutique::

I used to be hesitant to wear blue and black, but honestly, I totally dig this combo. I felt a little rocker in the outfit with the shredded top and spiked pointed toe flats.
Thanks to Lisa for the pics and Julie for lending her front porch! These were taken with a point and shoot, so sorry for the blur in some!
Anyone have any fun plans coming up for the weekend? What do you think of cobalt+black?

    Now I do have that song in my head, lol!

    I used to think blue and black made me look like a bruise, but now I really love it. Especially cobalt blue. You look great in this color and love your hair. Heather

    haha I know what you mean about being "that girl". The bars in my hometown are so casual- which is very different than my old college life or when I go to the city. I love blue and black together- I wear it all the time!

    Do you ever have issues with "dressing down" and you arrive at a bar and you realize that you stick out like a sore thumb because you are still too dressy? I totally had that happen to me a few week ago.

    There's nothing wrong with being "that girl". I did the same thing this past weekend, packed a dress and heels because we were traveling to freakin' NYC, then my friends decide to go to a little hipster bar in Brooklyn, go figure.

    I love everything about this look, the clutch, the top and the flats! I'm a big fan of cobalt and black too.

    I am all over that color combo, I actually just rocked it for my sister's wedding. The shoulders/sleeves on your shirt are so cute! I think I often end up as "that girl" because I have dressier clothes and I want to wear them. So I usually just go with it ๐Ÿ˜‰
