4 Days of "No T-shirts & No Beanies"

     This post represents four work days of "no beanies and no t-shirts". Outside of pictures from my accidental modeling career for Humanité, I am a hap-hazard fashion queen. What does that mean, you ask? It means, I love clothing as a functional art form but tend to not follow the actual fashion dos and don'ts. But, I am always up for a challenge. So while Erin was away, I ran Humanité in style. Or did I? You make the call, I can take it.

day 1

     The trickiest part of day one was the realization that I couldn't just throw my hat on and go. I had to actually look at my hair in the mirror and make it look like I had. There's a TON of hair up there and those who know me are aware of how hard it is not to just shave it off. The outfit is simple. I bought the shirt at Humanité our first year open. I would like to squash the old fashion rule that you can't wear black and brown together. I mean, come on, they're both neutrals and leopards do it all the time.

day 2

     Bobby pins helped with the bang problem. Day two's clothing made me feel like I was 20 again. A white tank and necklace from Humanité paired with boot cut jeans and a brightly colored cardigan. This necklace is a lot of fun. Accessories really can transform an outfit.

day 3

     This looks a little more like me. The layered shirts that barely matched looked better than expected. The pants are hand me downs from someone who is a foot taller than me. Go figure, the day I tried the least is the day I racked up on compliments! People really do notice when someone is comfortable and confidant in their clothes and I owned this outfit! Gotta love the "keep on truckin' " pose!

day 4

      For the last day in my week of semi-fashion I chose to go with closet staples: a white dress shirt, j.crew jeans, converse, and a thin gold chain. Pretty basic outfit, but very clean. The only problem? Every time I where this shirt Aj tells me I look like I just finished my shift at a restaurant.

So there you go! Fashion really can be fun and it's supposed to be. Just remember, no matter how much we spend on our wardrobe, our clothes do not define who we are.
