A Dose of Style - Outside The Box

Hello there lovelies,

I've got something a little different for you in the "Dose of Style" department today. A homage, if you will, to all the people who have a style that's a bit out of the box - a bit different, a bit quirky, a little bit odd and crazy. These are the styles I admire the most. I mean, sure it takes some savvy to rock the seasons latest trends like you were born in them. But it takes a whole different kind of savvy to completely develop your own aesthetic, and adhere to it despite criticism.

This dress is completely freaking adorable! And I want a pair of those shoes so bad.

This is such a beautiful look. I love the way black can be layered using different pieces and textures, to look enchanting rather than boring.

I would kill to be able to dye my hair this colour. (Pfft, retail job? What retail job?). Pretty sure I'd also kill for this top.

Man, I love the way these guys can combine so many elements, throw so many things together, and still look completely freakin' awesome.

I can only imagine how much work would have gone into making this dress. Such an amazing piece of work.

Love. That is all. (Also, this picture once inspired me to cut up stockings and wear them as armwarmers. Yup.)


I think some of us forget that we can play with style, and have fun with it. It doesn't have to be about some rigid set of rules imposed on us by someone we have never met. It doesn't have to be about having the latest or trendiest pieces. When it really comes down to it, style is about you. And you can do anything you want with your style - so be inspired by those who dress outside the box!

Until next time, xo.
