Outfit posts are no strangers to the blog world, and I thank the bright stars above for that! I could spend days upon days scrolling through various blogs and being inspired. With that said, I think I want to start posting a slightly different kind of outfit post. Here's why...
Disclaimer 1. I'm no fashionista. I'm in college and on summer break. I'm taking advantage of the one time in life where I can wear sweats everywhere and people won't judge me. Kind of.
Disclaimer 2. Once again, I'm in college and on a teensy weensy budget, which means I don't get to go shopping very often at all (I go once in a blue moon... the sad things in life... first world problems). So I can't really offer readers very creative outfits based on what's actually being sold in stores right now.
SO. Because I am a genius (ha, not really), I have a solution! I am going to take pictures of the outfits that I do actually wear in my everyday life, but I want to be able to analyze them to see how I can improve. I will use these pictures to see how I can clean out my closet, which items should be on my shopping list, and basically a ton of other baby steps that can launch me into non-sweats world!

Notes: I work at a Kumon center twice a week, so I attend to a lot of parents and kids of all ages. Therefore, I have to dress somewhat conservatively, although nothing too restricting is required!

Thoughts: I love belts. I have a lot of them too, so I should vary the ones that I use instead of sticking to the same two featured in these. I prefer slightly high-waisted shorts, so should stay on the lookout for those. And I should also keep an eye out for more variation in tops- I realize that I prefer looser, unique tops, so I should start buying quality ones over piles and piles of cheap F21 t-shirts. Last thing: ACCESSORIZE, GIRLFRIEND. Don't be too lazy to look in the jewelry drawers!
Any thoughts on this feature/my un-fashionista outfits? Tips, comments, suggestions? All welcome!

thank you!
DeleteI think you look great. You're really good at finding the right place to cinch the waistline to make the outfit totally flattering. You're right, the belts are key here - I'd love to see you pull some out of your stash!
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same problem. I buy loads of cheap stuff instead of a few quality pieces.
So cool that your friends let you borrow all of the clothes!
