Boy Meets Girl

 Today I felt like looking a little girlier than normal. Of course, that never lasts with me. As soon as I put on this pretty purple top I bought a year ago but had never worn, my first instinct was masculine shoes and my leather jacket. I tried though, right? 

I've noticed a trend with myself and with a lot of other people as well, and it dawned on me that I've never actually discussed it with you guys. My favoritest thing to do with my jeans is roll up the cuffs a little bit. I think it can make any look more fun, and it can add a preppy or girly touch to wearing masculine shoes. I know this might sound weird, but there's something about bones that I just love. An ankle, collar, or shoulder peaking out adds such a feminine touch to some outfits, and I think the ankle of a pair of dark washed jeans being rolled up is the perfect way to achieve that look.

If You Say So

I don't think you can really tell in these photos, but it was raining pretty hard when I took these photos! It's that time of year again here in Portland, I guess! Today, I just wanted to dress really casual while still looking cute. This outfit is a little tame for my taste, but the balance of masculine and feminine pulled it together for me. My flowy top with crochet details, I thought, looked nice with my skater style skinny jeans, jacket, and beanie. I had to visit my modeling agency today and everyone there told me I looked "super chic" - I guess if your modeling agency tells you you look good, you should believe them! There are plenty of outfits that I plan out and get excited to ear, so I think it's interesting sometimes when I wear something and don't think much of it, and end up getting noticed for it.

Do you ever wear an outfit you don't think much of until someone mentions something?
