All Grown Up



        Calvin Klein Heels\Express Tweed Coat\ ASOS Backpack Purse(similar here and here)\Slwy Distressed Denim(similar here and here)\VS Turtleneck


When I look back at how my style has evolved over the years, I have come to realize that just like in life, sometimes you have to make mistakes in order to learn valuable lessons. Now, you may be wondering why I am getting a bit nostalgic ( I mean, it is just fashion after all), but the truth is, there is something about this pair of distressed denim that reminds me of my college days, and the countless times I strolled around campus in a pair almost identical to them. However, at that time my jeans were probably a size too small and the top I had paired with them was probably even more unflattering, but you live and you learn, and today's style post is a true testament to that very idea. 

You see, I have made many questionable fashion choices over the years, and I am sure that I will make many more in the years to come, but isn't that the point? If fashion wasn't about experimentation and pushing the envelope a bit, then there wouldn't be a place in this world for people like me, or you, for that matter, because I assume that the reason you visit my blog every day is because you have come to be inspired in some way...

 So here is to making mistakes, and most importantly, learning to evolve from them, because isn't that what growing up is all about?

  4. The shoes!! Great post and so very true! That's one of the reasons I love fashion, you can experiment and find your own style.. eventually after trying other looks on for size.

    And you're so right, just like life, in fashion we sometimes make mistakes - I know I have! But life, and fashion, wouldn't be so fun if it were all perfect anyways!

  18. OH girl, I totally get what you mean. I've made a lot of fashion "mistakes", but that's the fun thing about fashion, you can make those mistakes and take risks. Fashion is meant to be fun and light. I do love to see my style evolve, though. I feel just even a couple years ago, my style has change.

    Anyhoo, you look fabulous. Love the heels. And I got your message on FB. Thanks for liking my page there. :) Have a great day.

    xx Love & Aloha

  26. That coat is gorgeous! So perfectly oversized & slouchy, it looks really snuggly too!
    I think we have all worn questionable things, especially in our teen years! Although I look back now & wonder what the hell I was thinking, I still remember how excited I was to buy those things & how much fun I had wearing them! ;)
