 There’s a bit funny story about this outfit.  Jesse and I went to drinks awhile back with another couple (who is good friends of ours), and I wore this outfit.  Upon arrival, (we will call him “C”) proclaims — “What are you wearing and why did you cut your dress in half?” I attempted to explain that no, it is indeed meant to be in two pieces, but it did not stick.  He was left bewildered the rest of the night.  He kept turning to girlfriend “K” and saying “I have a great idea, let’s buy a dress and cut it in half.  Genius.”  
I can’t help but think of C now whenever I wear it, and laugh at the fact that as bloggers or fashionistas, something like a two piece outfit might seem completely normal… I mean, we immerse ourselves in these types of trends and fashion on a daily basis.  To the outside world however, our outfit choices might seem very strange. 
To each his own, I say!  Two piece for the win!
(But really though, I just adore the two piece trend).

    Haha I feel like men never truly understand the look we try to achieve. That's why I always say that women don't actually dress up to impress men – we do it for ourselves!
    Love that two-piece – it's very cute and I adore the pattern!

    I try to make it a point to dress to impress myself and not worry so much about others. Some people just can't appreciate good taste πŸ˜‰

    Love your outfit and the pop of color on your lips! I've got a new outfit post if you wouldn't mind checking it out!

    Lol that's a funny story – Sometimes I wonder what people think of my outfits too (just bought a red and black sequin jacket from Good Will) but in the end, if I love it-I wear it.
    I ADORE the matching two piece. I gotta get on it.

    I love the look! I get those kind of comments on the daily! It's true– as bloggers and addicts of fashion we see this stuff everyday then people stare at us like we have a Halloween costume on when we go out in what we believe is normal and fabulous. They'll never understand πŸ˜‰

    Hannah I LOVE this! Your story is so funny, and you are so correct. I forget that to the average non-blogger, we may look strange or be the first sighting of a new trend. Thanks for the intro to Tobi as well! I am browsing their site, stat! Love the blue on you- have a fab weekend!

    I love the outfit too, C sounds like my M, he just does not get fashion one bit πŸ™‚
