When I say warm and cool i'm not talking about the mood-swings of mother nature as of late, i'm talking about the pairing of gold and pewter. There is just something about the combination that excites me and makes me feel complete. Pewter is my favorite type of metallic hue...ever...

The way it can lean on the dirty silver grey side or the dirty silver lavenderish- purple side, makes this metallic incredible unique and versatile. Just like it's second cousin twice removed, copper.

I think I may also be infatuated with pewter because it's dirty....in a good way....like me....OK, that may be a little too much info. Pairing warm tones and cool tones isn't typical by any means, but it makes for an unexpected pop of interest to any outfit. So all in all i'm here for it.

I acquired this dress when I went to a blogger "Shop & Swap" last year, that's when I first met some of these fabulous bloggers in the curvy-girl community.

Let me tell you, I wasn't playin', I got there a good half hour prior to the start of the event because I am a ruthless shopper. I would be damned if I would've missed out on a glorious piece due to my tardiness.

When I saw this dress, from Shainna of A thick Girls Closet, I lunged at it and immediately tried it on.

MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN!

I thought this was the most interesting little dress I've seen in a long time, it has two zippers, one on the front and one on the back, and has the capability of being zipped all the way up or all the way down. It's completely adjustable for whatever mood you happen to be in that day and it's the perfect color (refer to the beginning of this post). It posses my favorite silhouette, it has a drawstring that helps to accentuate the waist, and the exposed zippers make for an edgy touch that I am undoubtedly a sucker for.

Not to mention how ridiculously comfortable this dress is but....it's ridiculously comfortable.

Why am I dressing like it's fall you ask.....

It's because it damn well feels like it. It's not cold by any means, but it's chilly. Due to the lies that the groundhog told us, I was still able to get away with rocking some thicker materials.

I was randomly watching and episode of Fashion Police at some ungodly PM/AM hour, and Joan Rivers went on about her hate for fall colors in the spring, and overall looks that don't fit the season....my eyes rolled so deep within my skull. I will wear what I damn well please, whenever the hell I damn well please, you should do the same.

Look I understand there are some limitations, but looking good and feeling good is subjective/relative.

Here's a new "Trend", I wear what I want!

So here we are, I'm wearing a fall outfit in the spring, and I don't know about you but I'm loving it.

Spring is a tricky little sucker, the weatherman gives you some seemingly glorious temperatures to look forward to...but then you go outside and you're under-dressed....

I have a gut feeling that Mother Nature and the Weather Man are in cahoots to destroy me.

The best is when it's 90 degrees in the sun and minus 100 degrees in the shade.....wait, what...? To be frank, I'm over this weather and having to navigate through it's bipolar, manic depressive, schizophrenic, anxiety stricken, paranoid/ delusional...well...ass.

So be prepared to see outfits that will vary with the 50 shades of can't figure out whether the weather wants to make up it's mind.

Before I let you go, let me tell you about this dress. This dress was purchase five years ago, along with it's pretty sisters in varying colors and prints, and has since then earned a place in my heart. This style of dress is incredibly versatile, incredibly comfortable, and ridiculously effortless. It's the dress version of harem pants and five years later...I still can't get enough. I really wish the the store I purchased it from, New York &Co., still sold them but this time in even more colors and prints.

What I'm Wearing:

Faux leather jacket from Forever21.com. $34.80
Zebra print dress from New York & Co. $10 (On sale from $25)
Leggings from Rainbow. $7
Boots from Avenue.com. $33.60

Warm & Cool.
