What's my word-of-the-month? Yes, you're right, juxtaposition. Aaaaand, I totally already wore an almost-identical outfit once this month. But, hey, I loved it and it's going again. The juxtaposition here is twofold. First: blue and red. Second: leopard and plaid. Yes. I love me some plaid skirts, harkening back to the Catholic schools I neverContinue reading "What I Wore Wednesday: leopard and plaid. You know it."
