Hello all! Happy Monday!
What a weekend! Friday night I went to an event called Superfine, which was part exhibit, part fashion show, exploring the styling theme of dandyism! It was a blast! I was surrounded by fabulous styling as well as learning all about the history and technique of dandyism styling. It certainly began with African Americans as a form of resistance. It can still be that as well but also has a more modern concept of 'wear what you want.'
It is very typically very specific in styling and attention to details. And it is what makes you feel your best.
Which is fascinating, because that has been my style for a while! I just did not realize there was a name for it!

A lot of looks may seem to have a lot going on, but I have a method to my madness! Sometimes it is hard for me to articulate accurately what that is. Which is why I write! But I enjoy mixing and matching pieces, colors, prints, materials!
Take this look for example! I have this cute graphic sweater, paired with a bright pink, polka dot bag, and polka dot stockings. I like the mixing of prints -a lot! I love how the bag -though small- is mighty in color! It stands out boldly against the green of the sweater. I also brought in some extra pink with my loafers, drink, and journal -yes, I am not above buying a drink to use as a prop! By the way, it was pineapple, dragon fruit lemonade and it was DELICIOUS!
I like how there are a lot of little elements of this look that come together to really make it a LOOK! All of those elements are pieces of me! My personality, my creativity, my chaos, my ADD! But they all work together to form something really interesting!

All that to say, I am really proud of this outfit! I'm really proud of my style and how it has really taken shape. I feel more confident in it and in myself!
And! I am SO excited for the Met Gala tonight! Whoo hoo! =D
Thanks for reading! Have a great week!
