Oh, French Connection...we totally...have...a connection.Too lame?Sorry, just wanted to throw that line out there, in part because I am running on little sleep, which means my thoughts are basically mush at this point. But, without straining my brain too much, a look back at my FCUK history will reveal that I've had way more hits than misses with this brand. This brand needs little tailoring, and when you're buying higher end mass fashion, that is a major plus. This structured grid patterned dress was originally a couple inches longer, but I'm not that sweet (insert sexy eye wink, or in my case, a creepy eye twitch), so it's been hemmed appropriately to suit my style. And of course, I'm wearing...
So many dresses to wear, not enough reasons to wear them. If you've ever thought about blogging, I encourage you to try it, especially if you are the type of person who gets complacent in their choices. It's a reason to be bold, a reason to take chances and if anything, it provides an opportunity to wear everything you've been collecting in your wardrobe. Take this dress, for example. A lovely Finders Keepers number fit for the day or a night out. It was hanging in my closet, waiting for its turn to be seen, and I just hadn't found the right chance to showcase it's wildness, until now.

I couldn't help myself and drank an entire full-fat-100% whole milk latte and suffered the bloatiness that occurs afterwards, so I threw on some high waisted pants to suck everything in. Ha, just kidding. Not about the latte part, I really did enjoy every foamy drop, but I wore these jeans simply because they are the bee's knees. Also, wearing the Dot Dot Seurat necklace and arm swag from the STYLEBONE collection.
Keeping cool means wearing everything a little looser than you normally would. And on a side note, I could live in this outfit. These Current Elliot 'The Boyfriend' jeans are my current favorite, rotating in my closet often.
I'm wearing about 7 lbs of jewelry here. I'm all for minimal jewelry, but I don't think that being minimal means being weightless. I think absolutely layer those heavy chains and large statement pieces! If done right, it can look effortless and cohesive. Work with the same like-colors, such as all gunmetal and silver, and play with layers, being sure to hit multiple points on the body, not just focusing on one area. Make it look like your jewelry is cascading off your body, not like you're wearing large restrictive pieces. The look you're going for is glam, not S&M. Unless that's what you're into, then by all means, wear that chain choker and collar and body chain all at...
