My friend and fellow photographer, Jeanine, invited me to fly a kite this Sunday afternoon. Little did I know it was going to be such a challenging event. Flying a kite is not an easy task. One must be able to adapt to the wind's direction because it changes constantly. It took many failed attempts until the kite finally was in the air. We were running in circles, hiking up and down hills, and waiting eagerly for the perfect wind. It was a rather pleasing feeling when kite finally steadily soared in the clear Tennessee sky. Watching the sunlight shine against the kite's colors made all the failed attempts worth it. 

 The weather was rather chilly. It was a windy day. The best way to stay warm for the ever-changing kite sailing weather is to dress in layers. I'm wearing a black-knitted sweater and scarf. Both these items compliment the black jacket. Together all three elements help the jacket look like a finished piece rather than three separate mixed-matched pieces. The pants are a fancy addition to this rather basic outfit. They craftily lead to the black ankle boots that tie the outfit together.  

All together it was a success. 

Fly a kite when you have free time, and do not let the failed attempts get you down. Stay above them because it's worth it.

True Red

RED

The color red is a power color. It is one of the three primary colors that make up all other hues. The color Red is universally known as the "warning color" and cannot be ignored. Red is an intense color that breaks through the mundane and neutral colors of an outfit.  Today I am using L'Oréal Paris lipstick called "True Red." This luxurious color grabs attention and suggests confidence. Unleash your true red personality with the POWER OF RED :)

I love mixing and matching different types of fabrics that add texture and contrast to my outfits. This black lacy dress is underlined with a hot pink cami that makes this outfit pop and is a pleasant surprise that showcases the dress. By continuing to highlighted pink accents throughtout this outfit in the tights and shoes, this look my be a little "loud", but its all in good "Funky Patterns." 

Along with the clothing, the hair-do can add or take away from an outfit. This hairstyle was inspired by Amy Winehouse (R.I.P) and is clipped back in high bunt with the aid of my Urban Outfitters studded haridband! This do adds sassiness and poise to my look.
