It's that time again. Time for an iPhone outfit shot post! Also known as an I have nothing better to blog about so here are some grainy pictures of me with messy rooms and vaccum cleaners in the background... post. I hope you guys like these because I happen to like them a lot.
This is where blogging gets REAL. And by that I mean minimal makeup, tired eyes, just spent the whole day studying and errand running REAL. I mean, I read blogs to get a more personal take on style so I like them to be imperfect. Then again I also love magazines for their glossy fakeness and fantasy. So many "big blogs" out there tend to get their popularity from their over-polished, designer sporting quality. Which is totally FINE (I do like these blogs too!) but for me it kind of defeats the purpose of blogs as an honest diary-type outlet, as well as a medium where all types of people and styles can be represented. A lot of people stick up their noses at blogs that don't have ultra proffesional or perfect pictures... but, I mean, not all of us are trying to be photographers! That's what blogs are for! It's a place where people can showcase their style without HAVING to be proffesional if they don't want to be... I dunno, maybe it's just me who feels this way.
Back to clothes. So here's what I've been wearing lately:
Outfit is all thrifted
I realized I've been wearing a lot of (and by that I mean, like, 6 days a week) button up shirts for fall. I'm getting a bit obsessed.
Very old Urban Outfitters moto jacket, H&M tie up shirt, thifted circle skirt, Urban outfitters stiped tights, H&M booties.
I love these tights, and although making them look not so witchy isn't always easy I think I pulled it off pretty well here. If you're wondering how much fashion acceptance there is here in Winnipeg, let's just say this outfit got multiple stares at the grocery store. I know, I don't get it either.
DIY studded vest, thirfted 90's mini, thigh high socks from God knows where, thifted creepers.
Found this spotty mini dress at VV on half off day and I couldn't resist. I felt like a teenager again in this outfit, and I gotta say I kind of loved it.
Shout out to my favourite style bloggers who are keeping it REAL, my girls Marlena, Selina, Isabel, Elizabeth, and Gem just to name a few. Here's to seeing more real girls and guys in the blogosphere!
