🔥The Fueg: Controversial Colorways🔥
Hi my beautiful friend!
Welcome to 🔥The Fueg 🔥, the newsletter no one asked for but everyone needs. Since we last corresponded, I've *lightly* moved from gRosS HoT Miami to LA. Something I contemplated a lot while packing was my confusion around color combinations. I found myself avoiding bold items in fear I'd accidentally get to the point of combination desperation... that inevitable point in suitcase-living when you start mixing the white jeans (meant to pair with cut-off hanes tanks) with a red peasant top and suddenly lewk like a confused summer Santa. This whole crisis led to three realizations:
1. I packed really boring sh*t
2. I don't own any full length shirts
3. CoNtroVersiAL cOLorWays are ripe for disruption.
So today, my friend, I'm going to explore ways to revisit the color combos typically considered lewks2avoid with some creative workshopping. ⚠️WARNING: All of the below is yet to be tested and may be sensitive content4the eyes. Bear with me tho and plz come correct with opinions. I live for your responses. LFG into the land of color:
1. McDonalds
McQueen or McDonald, need I say more? Perhaps we're ready to mix a butter yellow with a burgundy, offsetting it of course with an iconic tan. Sure, you may lewk like the toasted bun of a big mac. But I'm open to experimenting with this deep fried colorway.

2. Holiday Colorway: xmas, halloween, and good god not thanksgiving
I can only handle so much ugly, so we're honing in on xmas. Red/white/green is especially hard bc you can wind up lookin like a candy cane snack (which we don't love2c). Remember, you're the gift. Dress like it. Losing a few buttons reminds everyone. So does a bitchy sunglass.

3. Barney
No, not barneys, I'm talking purple and green dinosaur disaster. Consider rebranding this color story with bold limes, chunky bangles, and maybe even hitting it with a little lil kim. And if all else fails, throw on an exaggerated silhouette or a full size candle as a fuegy accessory.

4. Monochrome
Okay hear me out. I'm a BIG FAN of monochrome when we're talking shades of black, H2T white, and neutrals, but I've veered away from monochrome in color bc cults...

But after really tucking into cult culture, I think I'm here for a revised hot take. Maybe lewking like a cult member is the perfect way to ward off judgy squares and sip natural wine in peace. And if the cult is 1999 Prada, i'm drinking the purply-red wine kool aid.
So, my friends, I hope this was the inspirational hit u needed. Tell me u love me. Fwd 2 ur friends. And dare to dress like there's no tomorrow.
Love always,
Amy
