Style a la Moi

Classic with a hint of vintage flair. If I could describe my sense of style and fashion I would give you one word, no wait...maybe two words? There really isn't any single word that can easily describe my sense of style because though I wouldn't pin it as complex I would prefer to leave the boundaries wide open. After many years of feeding my fascination with fashion through the pages of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and InStyle, I came to my understanding of what fashion means to me and how it has translated into every aspect of my life.

Throughout the years my sense of fashion has evolved from a childish throwback to the 80s, and let's thank god for that (bye bye scrunchies and overalls), to a more sophisticated and chic look (hello stiletos and fitted blazers). My style represents my character and how I want to be perceived because, let's face it, perception is reality. From throwbacks to the 80s with chic fitted blazers and strong shoulder pads, to the whimsical trends of the 70s. Fashion is an ever-changing form of creativity that I enjoy understanding and practicing, and much like my fashion depicts my personality, my writing also unveils a piece of my creative personality.

Its not the words I put down, but more so the way they are strung together. In fashion it's not just about the white t-shirt and jeans. It's about how you can take that white t-shirt and loosely tuck it into a fitted pencil skirt with nose-bleed inducing pumps. A contradiction? Perhaps, but who cares because it's me. My writing and style are both combinations of class with laid back flair and much like the white t-shirt and pencil skirt make a lovely contradiction, my writing too makes a contradiction. It's personal, elegant, and as laid back as a bowl of mac-and-cheese. Most importantly it's me.
