Fashion Therapy - Pink Floyd Red Tights

First things first: happy March! We're even closer to spring, green stuff is shooting up everywhere, and daylight savings is in a few weeks (my favorite part of springtime is the sun rising and setting later, my kinda schedule!). 

I just got these bright red tights from welovecolors and have been wanting to try them out. The color is so intense I almost wanted to hide under gauchos and boots, but I resisted the urge. Instead, I paired them with a comforting all-black ensemble. I got some neutral comments: "You look all Christmas-y" and "Those tights are...bright." Yes, I guess they would go well with a pine-green jumper and an antler headband next December!

The band tee has some colors that pick up the fluorescent, almost-but-not-quite-blood-orangey color of the tights. Extra amazing was that my co-worker showed up wearing the exact same t-shirt today, too. The pros and cons of selling random t-shirts at our store. If he only read this blog and I updated before work, we wouldn't be twinsies...

I keep trying to remember to smile more, but I keep getting stressed and forgetting... As for the outfit, I almost wore my standard black flats, but the blazer and all black was feeling too much like a suit, so I decided to wear my poor, beat up old leopard ballet flats to balance things out. They and I were caught in a sudden shower and have never been the same. I can't bear to throw them out, even though they kind of look like your favorite matted teddy bear after your mom washed it.
