Lord when I tell you, to get this Lookbook done was a trip and a half.....

The concept behind it was one I wanted and had in mind for a long time. I would always have mini Lookbooks play out in my head to the tune of whatever was blaring through my headphones at the moment. And even with all that went into this Lookbook, how much I LOVE it and am proud, it still doesn't exactly look like the wild and crazy that lives in my imagination.

I partially blame myself for not being able to fully articulate the crazy (verbally or otherwise), but DAMN IT if this Lookbook isn't FIYAH though!

I know we're heading into winter full speed ahead...but I don't care, because most of these looks will probably be worn then too...so watch and enjoy!

(Below is the behind the scenes of this Lookbook and some of the foolishness that went on during. It's a short clip but...)

Towards the end I was so spent, I live with a chronic illness that doesn't really allow me to over exert myself, to be super mobile, or to barely do what I did for this video...for this blog even, but I was gonna be damned if I wouldn't make this here video.

It was shot in the dead of July with the heat just thick and nagging, my headache and spine situation was on straight stupidity, but I actually enjoyed myself through all of the pain and literal sweat beads. I was out of commission for like a week or so but it was worth it.

Soooooo, I've only worn these abstract-print pants thrice in the past two years that I've owned them. It isn't because I don't absolutely love them or have nothing to wear with them, it's just that I am a creature of habit, and I have a tendency of playing favorites with some of the clothing that I keep in heavy rotation.

But trust me, these will be brought into the mix this winter, especially because some of my favorite bottoms that were in fact my life are no more. And if you're anything like me seasons have no real barrier aside from thickness of material and sleeve length, so bright and fun is sure to be year around if I so choose.

I chose this pairing because I wanted to be bright and fun but I wanted to be casual about it too, which is why I threw this grandpa sweater on top of a plain black tee. Of course I rocked my current obsession boots and a statement necklace and viola, we're done.

Oh but wait, there's more....how could I forget the clutch of all clutches, this MONEY clutch from Forever21! This baby is suuuuuuper super super super super well made, it's ridiculous.
