Outfit of the Week- Tacky

My favorite outfit for last week is actually two outfits with one being inspired by the other. I’ve always been a huge fan of Weird Al Yankovic, and have been lucky enough to see him in concert twice. Both times the tickets were a gift. The first time was a gift from a friend for my 18th birthday. It was one of my favorite concert experiences, so I was so excited to gift my husband tickets when Weird Al toured in 2015. I think his concerts are so great due to the fact that every single one of his songs is amazing. I have so many favorite Weird Al songs, and often find myself singing his lyrics even when I’m listening to the original song. His last album before his 2015 song was no exception. Two of my favorites from that album were “Word Crimes” and of course “Tacky”.

 I actually kind of pride myself for wearing things out and about that people would consider over the top, or yes even tacky. So when I saw that they were selling a replica of the shirt Weird Al sports in the AMAZING video for this song, I HAD to have it. In fact, I’m pretty sure I told my husband that it would be mine. So this week, I pulled this amazing on with a pair of jeans. For the rest of the day, all I could think of was  paying homage to Weird Al’s brilliant song by putting together a tacky outfit using my huge stash of LuLaRoe. This actually turned out to be a bit of a challenge, as my first couple of attempts came out super-cute and not what I thought other people would consider tacky. Guess that’s the problem you run into when your sense of fashion is a little bit out there. I must admit that I still find this outfit cute in its own way, and would have no problem walking around in public dressed like this. Although I’m pretty sure I would receive weird looks and ,aybe even comments. Not that I would really mind.
