Let's Talk About CLOTHES!

Let’s talk about CLOTHES.

I love them.

Well, I love the idea of them. And I love buying them and my closet is full of colors and craziness. But more often than not, you can find me in an oversized dude’s tee shirt or a big cozy sweater. I always like to look cute, but sometimes I think casual and quirky is the cutest style of all.

That being said, I can totally amp it up when I’m going out. I love a good fancy dinner dress, or a sexy, barely-there ensemble with high heels (they have to be at least 4 inches or I won’t wear them). I love rompers and leather jackets and patterned blouses.

But when I take stock of my most worn pieces the list goes like this: my high-waisted denim shorts, my dark green maxi-dress, any of my loose tank tops, my Wildfox sweaters, my boyfriend’s tee shirts, my cowboy boots, and my beloved white and gold sandals I got on mega-sale at Dillard’s like three seasons ago.

So where do I shop (in case you're wondering)? Generally places like Buffalo Exchange, Free People, and Forever 21. Since moving to Hollywood I’ve discovered Wasteland and it is officially my favorite place to shop. And just window-shopping on Melrose Avenue is awesome. I’ve never been the sort of girl to shop designer labels (except for the couple of years that I had a pretty severe addiction to Betsey Johnson—but c’mon, she’s fabulous!). I much prefer to find deals at resale shops (mostly because I’m broke), but also because it’s more fun and ensures that you have a unique wardrobe.

That being said, if I ever make a ton of money, I’m going to go buy a pair of Louboutin’s just so I can flash the red bottoms obnoxiously.

The biggest thing I’ve learned about style over the years is that you just have to go for it. Wear what you want how you want to wear it. Embrace your own sense of fashion and don’t let anyone's opinion sway you (unless you exclusively wear Christmas sweaters…then you should seek help). I’ve had plenty of people judge me for the clothes I wear, and in the past there were times when it really demoralized me. But day by day, I've become more proud of who I am and I strive to express that through my wardrobe. I love my style and I love sharing it with the world! :)

This is my brand new, most favorite (ignore the bad grammar) piece! I've been day-dreaming about this sweater ever since I saw it online (where it was like $300). When I saw it at Wasteland the other day (for $28!!!!) I had a glorious freak out and wore it that night (even though it was hot outside). It's cozy, and wooly, and it has a RAINBOW on it.

Yeah I'm a bit of a camera whore. But I'm so obsessed with this sweater I couldn't help taking more photos in it. Also, those are my favorite shorts (Louie tries to eat the little hardware studs, silly puppy).

Yay clothes!

XOXO!
