My Style (and Outfits)

The most common compliment that I receive is, "You dress so nice!" It is very encouraging, and a lot less work than what some people believe. I'm not very good at dressing down, since I feel like when I do, I look frumpy. I'm the kind of person who likes to look good as often as possible, not for others, but because it makes myself feel good. I think that is one thing that differentiates someone who dresses up like me from someone who dresses up to get other people's attention. There is also a visible difference.

Anyway, I want to start off with what I believe my style is. I'm very inspired by the past in just about every aspect of my life, but especially when it comes to the way that I dress. Depending on my mood, and how I can configure my clothes to look, I'll dress anyway from the fortiesque to the nineties. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a vintage dresser. I'm no Dita Von Teese, but I modernize a lot of it, and I try to keep it comfortable and cute.

These are some outfits that I would wear. These aren't clothes that I own, but they're close enough. I'd wear all of these outfits on almost any occasion: school, church, work, lazy day.

Full Effort:

This is literally the most effort that I'll ever put into any outfit. My outfits may look complicated and dressed up, but they're just simple. Everything I have is either simple and neutral, or a floral dress, that way I can mix and match a million different ways. I really love high waisted things, flat shoes, and collars.

Moderate Effort:

For whatever reason, when you wear a dress it seems like you're super dressed up, but you really aren't! Dresses are my go to outfits when I'm not in the mood for things more elaborate. The dress itself is the outfit, making them a really easy outfit on those lazy days. I also love love love floral. It is pretty much all I wear, year round.

Lazy Day:

I have two pairs of harem pants that I got at Urban Outfitters and that's pretty much as lazy as I get. If it's cold, which it never is here in Southern California, I might wear leggings and a large sweater, but that's rare. I don't love leggings because of the effort that it takes to put them on and off.

As you can see, everything I have is really plain, and it really isn't that hard to make my outfits, you just need a few essentials:

white slouchy tee/tank
high waisted shorts (all of mine are thrifted)
solid/printed dresses
flip flops/flats

small brown cross body bag (goes with everything!)

There you have it! Not as complicated as you might have thought, huh. I hope you enjoyed this!

au revoir, mes cheres! <3
