I couldn’t think of a catchy title with the number 23 in it, sooooo…
I thought I’d leave you with a few random facts about this prime number:
- Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes.
- There are 23 discs in the human spine.
- The Earth’s axis is tilted at a 23.5 degree angle.
- The average person breathes about 23,000 times a day.
- It takes 23 seconds for blood to make a complete circuit of the human body.
- There are 23 steps between floors in the Pentagon.
- Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times.
Am I missing anything?
Wow! Reptile print shirt + reptile print skirt = doubly awesome! Who would’ve thought it?

This is one of the outfits that I was most excited about for the challenge. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t thought of it before!
Haha I love your facts about 23. And the only word I can possibly come up with to describe this outfit is “fierce,” which I recognize is so Christian Siriano three years ago, but it totally applies. This is a very bold look, and I love it on you.
AWESOME…the tones match perfectly. It looks like a dress. Which is amazing.
HOt! I never would have thot about putting 2 different but similar prints together! This is definately my favorite! Thank you for sharing:) The backsground is also awesome i feel like taking a tour of your apt!lol
I agree, it looks like a dress – an amazing dress. And your styling is perfect. I bet you turned heads all day!
So cute — I love these patterns together, they look great!
love love love this outfit on you, it suits you perfectly and btw your hair looks gorgeous too.
There’s also that movie “The number 23” with Jim Carrey. I haven’t seen it but I think the plot entails him being obsessed with the number, so you may like it. haha 🙂

Yeah I was thinking the number 23. Or, on the complete opposite end of the entertainment spectrum, I might have made a reference to LeBron’s old number, or Michael Jordan as number 23.
But that’s only if I was in the business of creating catchy, clever titles. Which, as you can see from my blog, I am not.
So I’m not sure why I’m giving you advice at this point. I’m going to bow out of this discussion starting right meow.
This outfit is BANGIN’, girl! Looks great! And I like the creativity of relationships to the #23. So unique! 🙂
Double snakeskin! I like it, it looks just like a dress!
Oooh, I really like the pattern mixing, at a first look I thought it was a dress!
& as a reply to Angie’s comment – I’ve seen that movie. It is WEIRD.
Thank you!
Excellent pattern mixing!
