I DISCOVERED A NEW COLOR


Mustard. I know - really fucking weird, right? Believe it or not, I am not completely allergic to color, I'm just incredibly picky. Its impossible for me to find something in a color that I like and also in a cut that is fantastic. Well once again I lucked out at beacon's closet and found this wool mustard colored dress. I thought, 'why not?' and brought it to the dressing room. I found there to be something a little bit wicked about the hue, especially paired with a lot of jewelry and dark lipstick. I also got a really crazy all over print jumpsuit which will be debut'd soon enough as well...and on a personal note, I actually despise the condiment the the color is based from. Please keep all food-mustard away from me!!!

I'm also completely, obsessively inspired by the personal style of designer/stylist Lotta Volkova. Not only is her sense of proportion and dramatic impact impeccable, but when she wears color it is perfectly matched, and still consistently evil - just as good as wearing black!

I like this version of mustard. Forever 21's version is much brighter, yuck.

i am in the same boat as you, i would never eat mustard, but wear it all the time.

I'm really into mustard and it's shades right now too, but I mainly wear black too.
The color suits you just great, especially in combination with the lipstick!

oh my god, YES. i have an almost legitimate phobia of mustard. i can't even look at it or touch the bottle, let alone eat it...uas;ldfjsd.

I must say that mustard is not normally a go-to color especially when a hot dog comes to mind, but it looks striking on you! It's actually a great color to pair with black and fits perfectly in with your wardrobe. I think mustard is definitely an outcast of colors which is why it has an edgy feel to it as well.
