You guys, the more my style evolves the more my super annoying quirks tend to appear.....I have this "thing" about owning something that everyone else has and when I say "thing" I mean I LOATHE having an item of clothing that someone else does. There are certain basics that you run to the mall for that obviously tons of people have BUT I'm about done with all of the same CRAP floating around on the blogosphere these days. Lately I've been really into DIYing pretty much everything I own and seeking out unique vintage pieces that I know no one else will have. What you choose to clothe yourself in expresses to the world who you are....and I am NOT like anyone else so why would I want to dress like it? Sidenote- this was kind of brought on by the Prabal Gurung for Target collab.... I was absolutely blown away and in love with the collection but on principle I couldn't buy any of it because I knew it would be EVERYWHERE!!
And in case you missed something this week :)

OMG..so funny..I am not kidding when I say this..I was all excited before it came out and then I was like "wait everyone is going to be wearing these pieces..that's kinda lame" and I got NOTHING..ha..ha! Honestly from what I saw 4 days after it hit stores I was not impressed anyway..felt cheap. On the same page again my friend..I wish you could come over and I could show you all the vintage goodies I got yesterday that I am SUPER excited about..but alas,you can't..bo hoo ;(
ReplyDeleteHave a great one Brooke!

Those pants and that jacket are SO fabulous! And I kind of feel the same way about the PG collection for Target...kinda stinks!

I love the PG collection! I will probably still get a piece or two if it's floating on the clearance racks.
ReplyDeleteI do agree, however. I've been thrifting more and more to find those *key* pieces.
Although, I do believe that even if you own the same item as someone else, you pull it off totally different.
Not everyone has the balls.
:D
Or just doesn't know how.
You look phenomenal, as always!
And I love the little, tiny middrift your showing ;)
A dash of sexy, if I say so myself. ;)
I'm always intrigued by your posts.
Can't wait to see what you wear next!
"I do believe that even if you own the same item as someone else, you pull it off totally different."
DeleteAgreed!
No one should feel they have to restrict themselves based on what others are doing/wearing. At some point, everyone wears the same thing someone else is. Plenty of us buy what we see on our favorite style blogs after seeing it on someone else. When Jason Wu for Target came out I was afraid it'd be everywhere, but I have still never run into anyone wearing the same pieces.
like I said, its an annoying quirk that I have ....its pretty much how ive been my whole life. my point is I just want to push you guys to go out of your comfort zone.......the point of this post was to tell everyone to be themselves!!
DeleteYou're right girl, and I love love love your style, you are an amazing inspiration!! I'm kind of hoping you start a linky / blog hop one day where you challenge everyone to wear something they might have never worn before!
DeleteBellissima! <3 ti aspetto da me per un post dedicato al Sanremo xoxo Donny di www.thefashionfordonny.com

GURL, you know I am feelin you on this! ABSOLUTELY to each their own, and everyone does add their own dose of swag to to whatever they are wearing. Personally, I have the same pet peeve as you. I want to have a REALLY personal aesthetic, so I turn to vintage/thrifting because I feel that it offers me truly unique pieces to work with. (Also cuz I'm cheap, HEHE.) I have also found that I can no longer deal with the lack of quality of in mass produced fashions that I can afford. UGH...the fabrics are just NOT what they used to be! Love ya mama, keep it up. OH PS- This outfit is my fave NYFW one! I am such a sucker for pink and I lobe these pants. Also looooove how you've flashed us some abs with the strategically undone button. SEXI!

OH PPS- I have more to say ;) I LOOOVE vintage shopping with other people because it's not like there are certain items that everyone gravitates toward. Each person will always leave with really unique treasures. Like sometimes Chels will find something and it's like, "OK, I NEVER would have thought to pick that up but I like your vision!" So much fun!
DeleteWow! Your sense of style is soo cool :)
ReplyDeleteSimona
Wow, You're so cool! Amazing look! Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog, now I follow you via fb and bloglovin, hope you'll do the same! Kisses, Lucy www.tpinkcarpet.com
ReplyDeleteSo in love with those pants! Your diy skills are incredible. I totally understand what you mean about wearing the same thing as everyone else. I have a lot less qualms with it these days compared to my younger years. I guess the thing is whatever you choose to wear, make it your own and rock it. I do love the thrill of finding one off pieces that nobody else has. Really loving this series..

I absolutely love the recent collab, particularly the peplum top and blazer. I'm like you though - you're rubbing off on me though - I'm afraid everyone will have it. I want to stand out in my own way so I've started appreciating boutiques more and more. I had several things in my hands at Old Navy the other day and put them back because I just knew everyone would have them. However, that peplum is still calling my name and since that is out of my comfort zone, don't be surprised if you see me rocking it. ;o) Love ya girl!
ReplyDeleteyou look gourgeos,love your jeans so much

how did i not already comment on this?! GAH! fail! GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about the Target collabs. I love the pieces but feel like everyone goes out and buys them. At the same time I feel like style and creativity don't necessarily have to do with what pieces of clothing you have but how you wear/style them. I actually think that shows a very creative style - having a shirt/blouse/pants etc. that everyone has but styling it in a totally new way.
ReplyDeleteI do love those DIY pants!

Don't be bummed about the cold weather! It's so hot here in Melbourne and I can't wait to layer up! I just love dressing for cold weather because of the textures and layers and colours! Your outfits for fashion week are killer! I'd totally wear the black jumpsuit! Love this concept and keep rocking it pretty girl!!
