OUTFIT: Electric (blue) Dreams

Familiar with that 80's music?

Well, it has nothing to do with my post. Haha.

But with the color electric blue.

It is no secret that I am biased to the color blue.

I'm a true BLUE lover.

I remember when I was in high school, I painted my room blue.

(Yes, I did most of the painting myself)

When the paint started to peel off years later,

a repainting was in order as we were doing major renovations in

the house. 

I wanted to veer away from blue and befriend the other colors

as well. After trips to the hardware store and looking (and comparing)

numerous color palettes, I finally ended up with---

BLUE!!!

How predictable right? Haha.

While choosing a paint color proved to be no-brainer for me,

selecting and creating an ensemble around my electric blue leggings

was surprisingly difficult. I bought the leggings precisely because of the

color. Little did I know that it will stay for months in my closet.

I didn't like the fit because it was not flattering in the hips area.

But,

thanks to the numerous fashion blogs, I finally found the inspiration and

courage to work on an outfit with my electric blue leggings.

My inspiration?
