Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow

I woke up this morning feeling better than yesterday, but still crummy. So you get another outfit from last week. This dress is very, very old. I've had it for at least 6 years, and I got it from Plato's closet so who knows how old it really is. This dress is proof of why I hate to clean out my closet. Sure I didn't wear it for a year, but now I am. I love to go "shopping" in my own closet and to pull out items that I may have been neglecting. I kept skipping over this dress because it is so dang on short. Then I had the brilliant idea to pair it with tights. 

Lesson from this story? When in doubt, put on tights. 

Dress: Express

Tights: Target (they always have tights for sale!)

Boots: Charlotte Russe  (Like this pair right now) 

Necklace: Express (similar here, here, and here)

The belt came with a sweater. 

And I'm loving this pair of TOMS right now. 

Black and Yellow!

So I still have power so I can still post (for now). Since the storm has everything closed (except the man's job), I am not going out, and I am not changing out of my comfy clothes. Luckily, I have outfits stored up, just waiting to be posted.

 I forgot what I was doing when I wore this outfit, I just know that it was comfortable. Now I know that some people stray away from the black and yellow look because they think that it resembles a bumblebee, but I feel that if you don't overwhelm yourself in yellow, or have another color added into the mix, you don't scream "yellow jacket!!". This is one reason that I decided to add my tan jacket to the outfit.

 However, if you are a Steeler's or VCU fan, black and yellow are staples in your closet! (**Note: I am not a fan of either, just wanted to throw out the sports reference to clothing.)
