Today is the first of three days where I will be presenting for a group of transfer students at a special event at my university. For this presentation, I was paired with a close colleague of mine that had just one request for me to comply with: wear less colors.... and I was like What!?!?! jaja

She explained that my style is very "rainbow" while her style is very "black and white" (interesting theory huh?). So basically, she wanted me to dress in an all black and white outfit, and to be honest, I thought that wasn't fair at all! Why should I change to the way she dresses? right? So, I proposed that we both put an effort in matching up. The deal is that I would try to wear more "black and white" and she would try to wear more colors in her outfit.

Hence, today's black and white outfit with a pop of color. I think I did a good job balancing her wishes while still remaining true to myself. At the end of the day, it's important to feel comfortable in your own skin rather than trying to please other people... or at least that's my philosophy :)

Here are all the ways in which I've worn this floral skirt:
