OOTD- A Mix-Up

What do you think of my new haircut?

I'm slightly addicted to my new phone. Words with Friends has become a bit obsessive.

Have you ever created an outfit of random things? I suppose that's what any outfit is, but I'm sure you also have a few go-to looks. This outfit is definitely a hodge-podge of things that I'm not sure if it works well together, but layering random items will definitely come in handy when I get bored of my stuff by January. So be prepared for lots of future mixing and matching. If I start to look like a crazy lady, definitely tell me!!

What do you do to ward off thoughts of throwing out everything in your closet and buying all new things?

Outfit Details:

Polka dot blouse- thrifted (similar here w/o sleeves, similar in black with large dots here, similar in sheer version here)

P.S. I did not cut my hair, just trying the fake-out bob.

OOTD-In Before the Deadline

Although I don't firmly stick to those antiquated fashion rules, including don't wear white after Labor Day; I thought I should still wear those summer-y items in my closet before Monday (and the end of summer)rolls around. Apparently, my friend had the same thought because when I meet her after work she was wearing a white blazer too. :)

I know I'll be craving darker colors and wool and cashmere, so this little number will get less attention come fall. Speaking of rules, I think tackling navy and black together might actually happen this year. I feel like living on the edge just a little!!

Are there any fashion "rules" that you still have a hard time letting go?
