My bag and shoes match, but that's about all that's traditional about this ensemble. |
Check out my DOUBLE COLLAR ACTION. |
Taken with my phone and sent to my girl, Emilee the day I wore this. (I had to include this photo on my blog, though, because I didn't get many photos of this outfit.) |
Circles, Rectangles, and Lines, oh my!
This is my Nerdy Chic at its most outrageous...I am well aware that this outfit is completely ridiculous. In fact, I wore it two weeks ago, and this is the first it's made it up onto my blog.
CONFESSION TIME:
Honestly, I was nervous to post it, 'cuz it's so "out there." In fact, I went on a 'date' with my brother that night, and I even changed before he could see me or take me anywhere public.
Then, I figured, this outfit is part of my style, and I haven't cared about being considered "cool" since the 8th grade! I'm dissappointed in myself for giving into my self-conscious and second-guessing nature. I got into blogging/styling my outfits precisely because I wanted to combat my lack of self-confidence. because I wanted to celebrate freedom of personal expression and artistry.
So basically, by getting anxious that my outfit wasn't main-stream palatable and throwing something else on, I was simultaneously [hypocritically] throwing all my big ideas/talk about the art of personal style out the window. And really, that's what's not cool.
Therefore, I'm posting it LOUD and PROUD on my blog.
I hope it doesn't offend those of you with more delicate sensibilities...take a deep breath and just hang in there: my summer posts will be more demure (I think).
