I realized at work this morning that maybe my outfit was a little too loud. The tiger printed blouse and the faux fur vest seemed to work together when I put it on this morning, but suddenly I questioned my judgement. Then I thought about something I heard; when it comes to fashion, you can't be afraid to stop traffic. Lori Goldstein said this in the behind the scenes video that The Glamourai posted and it really stuck with me. It also put me in check. I shouldn't worry about being too loud or over the top, I should walk loud and proud to my very own drummer. There is a reason my instincts told me to wear this. So to you I say, be fearless in your dressing, my friends. Dare to be bold.

This fabulous blouse is another thrifted score. It's 100% silk! It's a bit oversized, but I like my tops a little like that. I just couldn't pull myself away from the print. Meanwhile, I've officially fallen in love with the thrift store where I purchased it. It's also where I purchased that Prada Blouse. To think it's only 3 blocks away!
