How to not be yourself whilst still being yourself


What's better than not being you for a day?....nothing. You should always be yourself, BUT if you ever want to not be. You want to know how?
It's simple,isn't it. Obviously it should be, you're only changing who you've known the longest and who you know best. So again, how hard can it be. Imagine waking up one morning not wanting to put on that same uniform you've been wearing for two years straight (that you didn't want to just abandon because someone said your butt look great in it-once) and having the chance to reinvent your style, Wouldn't you? Prying away your old style from your soul can be hard. That's why I'm here. Nothing should be done all at once. Of course it can be, but in the process of switching up your style, we'll just take it slow.
The first thing you must do is research. Figure out a style you like, and which you would like to achieve. Who do you admire in regards to fashion(If it's someone who already dresses like you do with your "uniform" you might as well stop here. You're going to go through this whole process ending up spending money on the same thing that has been in your closet since high school!. My apologies ,I'm here for you *takes breather*)
Step two, start buying some pieces. Key word: Pieces. Don't go all out and buy a whole outfit that you saw in a magazine because you wanna look like her/him or herm. You want to ...test the waters. Wear that jacket piece you bought with some old jeans, see how it fits. And slowly but surely your wardrobe will build. Another good reason for this step is the people around you. You don't want to automatically change your wardrobe and have your grand mom questioning if it's a phase. "All the kids these days go through phases Eucile!, it's the norm! ." says your granddad.
This post isn't about making you want to be someone else by changing your style, in case you wanted to change it up I'm here to help.
And the last step in this charade, you guessed it..be yourself! Changing your wardrobe doesn't mean you have to change who you are as a person. If you were a jerk before...be a jerk aft..that's not exactly what I'm trying to say but you get the picture. Be your old self,in your new rags.



Enjoy it ,but most of all...Keep the receipts..jking..but srsly guys like 4rl

Long awaited street style post

I'm not quite sure when or why I started to really pay attention to Street style but, whatever the reason I'm glad I did. Not only have I been wanting to document my own style but I've been wanting to document others. And with out further or do, I've got the chance.... to do one at least.

From overtly furnished trousers to little to no direction with minimal color sweatshirts, to mixed printed suit and ties, NY streets is where you will see just that. Without any inquisition, or thinking to hard you start getting used to it. But this isn't about everyday street fashion in NY oh no no no. This , THIS (needed more emphasis) is about New York Fashion Week.. "Hey dufus! ,isn't that the same thing?!" hm.. Not really ,see during NYFW people from around the world (including NY) attend different fashion shows around the city,(or wherever the tents are) and pretty much "dress to impress",or how many put it(I'm lying no one says this but)-"dress for the camera".
Why do I like this you ask? Well it's a chance to see other peoples view point regarding clothes. What pieces they'll put together. As well as how they do their hair(OMG THE HAIR). It's one big fashion show , except it's on the streets. So from the past week I've seen a lot that of these Street Style images that I like,and a lot that I love. Not all is going to be featured here, but here are some that just caught my eye...



.....oh! and theirs too!

Although some may argue that NY fashion isn't the same anymore(my dad), I'd have to say maybe so. Yet ,something in my bones is telling me something bigs a stirrin' and in the next few years NY will be back to it's old self,kind of. But for now, continue expressing your style, continue finding your style, and continue to dress up to go to....,well you're in NY ta' hell with it.
