Cobalt

As an Aries do you know what I hate, not being first. I hate when people beat me to the punch, I value individuality and unique concepts...unfortunately there is such a thing as great minds thinking alike.

In this case, it's the Cobalt blue trend. I have this thing with my friends where I call out a trend or something I'm currently obsessed with and within a matter of weeks it's damn near everywhere. I do it partially to see if I can call it, and partially to stick my flag in it, claiming it to be mine.

Call me crazy, call me a delusional brat, call me what you like....but being unique is one of the most important things I could ever do/be. 

In any event, I stuck my flag on this color and within a matter of a week, I was seeing this color everywhere.

Ok, ok, I know the past two minutes of reading this passage has made me look like an ass, but I just had to be honest about my feelings and it's origin.

Moving on!

I purchased this Cobalt Blue Moto Jacket last year if I'm not mistaken...or was it at the top of this year....? Well either way, upon seeing this jacket I nearly died with how good I thought it was.

It fed every part of my soul.

When I bought it I knew immediately that I wanted to pair it with black & white, which is precisely what I've done. Like red, a vibrant blue such as this one, steps the entire outfit up a couple notches. 

Look at me though, I'm rocking like 50 shades of trendy right now. I've got the leather trend, the black and white trend, the cobalt trend...

Whatever, I love it all and have no shame.

"The Gemini mind (and mouth!) is a busy machine, always moving at warp speed. That's because your sign is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication. Mercury also rules technology and the mind, making Gemini one of the most curious and cutting-edge signs of the zodiac. Geminis change faster than the weather, and constantly flip between moods and interests. One day, you're into frilly, girl stuff. The next day, you're over that and skydiving out of an airplane."

"Walking into a closet of a Gemini can feel confusing to most. They have a wide variety of styles and to many it may seem very sporadic. Gemini has an attraction for clothes that are fun, bold, and can be easily taken care of and washed. A fashion style of a Gemini can be described as eclectic, funky and eccentric. They love accessories, including jewelry and bags. The sign of Gemini is The Twins, which also fits in well with their style. For many, they may think of a Gemini as having two personalities when it comes to their sense of fashion. Although they can have a funky style, Gemini is always put together in their own way. Typically, when a Gemini heads to a closet, they look for a balance between playful and casual."

When I think of Gemini, I think of the multiple facets that make up who they are, I think of not just so much of the initial pop of a fire cracker, but more so the colorful aftermath as the embers dissipating into the air. I feel the mirrored print of the dress and the flashes of color throughout the accessories best convey that.
