Clouds without rain

The sky has been misleading lately. Its begging to shred its tears. Thick, dark clouds cover my head for hours at a time, but never reach the breaking point. I look up, wondering when I will feel a drop on my nose, but the clouds won't speak to me. The weather is putting me at a slight loss, (Tights or no tights, bold or bare lips, fitted or lose?) Sometimes I simply cannot define the mood I'm in, which leads to mixed feelings when determining what to wear, because I'm not quite sure how to express myself through my style when I'm having this "feel nothing" feeling. I guess that could fly for "mysterious". So, I usually just resort to a mixture of weird prints that don't go together at all, and attempt to tone it down with neutrals. I find that repeating the same color, together, in your outfit can elongate that area of your body (black boots + black socks/leg warmers gives the illusion of longer legs, any two of the same colors will do the trick). Vintage accessories always polish off an outfit for me.
