Urban casual style

Friday, October 26, 2012

I'll just be honest. I have zero idea what my "style" is. I wear what I wear and what I like to wear. Seriously, most days, I don't even care. But ever since I first discovered that I could put together my own outfits (at a very young age), I have just worn what I liked. That usually consisted of tons of teal, mint green, blues and blacks. I wear black a lot, though I have toned it down from my Amy Lee loving days of Freshman-Junior year. But really, I don't like stereotypes of any kind and I definitely don't like "keeping up with a trend".

I love fashion as much as the next girl and I love seeing new trends, some of which rock and some don't. I am trying to keep myself determined to never fall in a box. I just want to be me and one way I can show that is by dressing how I like. Whether one day that is a tutu and silk cotton candy-threw-up-all-over-me outfit or black skinny jeans and the closest clean t-shirt I can find in the morning. That's just me. And part of the reason I haven't shared outfits until fairly recently was just that...I don't keep up with the trends most often and I don't think what I wear is anything worth posting. But you know what, it's fun to dress up nice, and it's fun to try new things and honestly, I see why it's fun for so many girls. I get it. And after all of your unyielding poking and prodding that I need to do it more often, I am caving. Only occassionally though. I'm no fashion-ista, but I will share with you all from time to time. Plus when you have such awesome clothes to style, who could resist.....

I was pretty excited to be styling some new goodies from Blood is the new Black and Shlomit Ofir Jewelry Design which just so happen to match perfectly together. I will also be styling the jewelry in my next model collaboration (so excited!).

I felt like I was channeling my inner Kristen Stewart with the side knot and chucks...unintentionally done until we started pictures, but I really liked the way this top fit over the dress while tied. It's a loose fitting tank so I could have styled it multiple ways. Photos by my husbie :)
