080415: Tomboyish Tuesday

Hello loves! Oh my, it has been 2 years since I posted a "OOTD" post; it goes to show how much this blog has evolved. As much as I love doing reviews and "How I Wear It" posts, I decided to go back to my roots and post this bad boy up with a full on commentary.

You would think that I have established my personal sense of style after all of these years of blogging about fashion as a self-proclaimed fashionista, but I am nowhere close to narrowing down my sense of style. In fact, my style changes on a daily basis, depending on what I want to portray for the day. I literally play dress up every day with my clothes, and that is why I have a lot of it. Yesterday, being Tuesday, I wanted to play with my tomboyish side. I am a girly girl, but I think I know a thing or two about boys given that I grew up with two brothers.

One of my fashion guilty pleasures is dressing up androgynously. I love men fashion, so I like to incorporate a piece of article that is inspired by menswear. With this look, I wore my newly favorite: Forever 21 pointed faux leather loafers. They are casual enough to wear with a pair of skinny or boyfriend jeans (with the latter emphasizing the tomboyish factor), but they are fancy enough to wear with my beloved UNIF pleather overall dress.

As for the rest of the outfit, I wanted to go for a minimalistic look because I was on the go yesterday. I threw on my "Sad But Rad" tee that I got from Wear Your Label and tied a small knot to tease a tasteful amount of midriff. This tee is probably the most expensive shirt that I own, but that's because I fully support the brand and its philosophy of self-care. I highly recommend you all to check it out! In addition to the top, I slipped into my favorite light wash jeans that I got from Crossroads Trading & Co. Lastly, to tie the outfit together, I wore my Coach vintage leather crossbody and hamsa choker that I got from Hot Topic as black accents to match the shoes.

I guess my sense of style is a bit of girliness with a splash of tomboyish and a sprinkle of grunge and a lot of self-care/love.
