Fashion Faux Blah & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #738

A fashion faux pas. A false step. A style mistake. A bit of the blah. It can happen to anyone. Even the most style savvy and fashion forward folks can create unsavory outfit combinations.

In this case, I don’t think I necessarily made a literal fashion faux pas as this outfit is wearable without being entirely terrible. It is more of a fashion faux blah.

While I often rely on a black column of clothing beneath my kimono robes, this particular black column was a bit too much and resulted in very unflattering photographs. But I am sharing them anyway because this is real life. Some days you look great in your clothing. Other days, maybe not so much.

I was gifted this fringed leopard print kimono robe over a year ago. This was the first way that I styled it but I decided not to share it at the time because I really disliked the blahbiness of the black.

I thought that a black column of leggings and tunic would allow the beautiful colors and print of the kimono robe to really stand out. But it ended up dominating the whole look and completely distracting from the beautiful details of my robe.

To coordinate with my kimono, I added a funky long raggy tassel necklace that I picked up during one of my North Carolina road trips, copper earrings that were made by my dear friend Michelle, and tan studded ankle boots. I carried my purple Teddy Blake bag for a blast of bright color against the black, white, and tan. But it was still not enough to break up the black blob!

You win some. You lose some. But as long as you keep on smiling, even a terrible outfit is not so bad.
