Last night I received a notification that the blogger fashionlaine liked one of my posts on Instagram. Naturally I went on over to her Instagram and subsequently her blog. Her bio on Insta reads 'Be what you want. Wear what you want.' So simple, but I think it's a great reminder to embrace your sense of self when it comes to style and fashion. Sometimes I can get caught up in wanting to emulate a certain image. Look a certain way. Send across a particular message. Whether something might be "too much". Or people might think "who the h-e-l-l does she think she is wearing something like that?" When really I should be wearing whatever the heck I want! I'll be happier knowing I'm being true to my self, and I think other people will be happier that I'm presenting the most genuine / raw version of myself. Ordinarily I would overanalyze the outfit below. I would think oh, I can't do ripped jeans, camo print, AND fringe. That is just too, too much. But instinctually when I looked in my closet this morning, this is exactly what I wanted to wear. So I went with it!
I like to call this I'm-tired-couldn't-be-bothered-to-style-it's-cold-I'm-going-to-be-outside-first-day hair.
These jeans are unbelievably comfy and actually quite flattering on the rear.
I love how fun this shirt is. I think the fringe detailing adds extra oomph to an otherwise pretty casual piece.
I really don't know what it is with me and camo. I can't even pinpoint the moment in time where this love affair began. '...but there's somethin bout your love that makes me weak...and knocks-me-off-my-feet.'
