I don’t really do that many posts of what I myself am wearing. So, fine, whatever. I’ll put up an outfit that’s pretty typical of my general style, especially in winter. In winter, my priority is to be comfortable. Since I’m still in school, the dress code is a little lax. I can get away with wearing jeans, and can even look moderately put together if they’re dark jeans. So I’m thankful for that. Because jeans are awesome.
So here’s what I was wearing the other night when I was hanging out with a buddy. It’s pretty much what I wear to school, except for the sneakers. I usually wear winter boots that look like normal leather boots. :-P So it works.
All right, whatever, here’s a version of my most basic, often-worn outfit: jeans + camisole + sweater. It’s fool-proof, really…but I still find ways to mess it up. :(
I would, too. >:(

Damn. I own a lot of blue. And I wear a lot of blue together.
Meh, whatever. It probably has to do with my weird color associations. Like, I associate each color with the jewel that matches it. Wearing blues reminds me of sapphires, one of my two top favorite stones. When I wear blue, I’m thinking of hard, glittery, dark sapphires. It’s tough but pretty. (And when I wear reds, I’m thinking of warm rubies, and I’m generally happier and huggier when I’m wearing red. Pink is usually fake lab-created rubies, so I’m a little weird when I’m wearing pink. Green goes to my favorite stone, the emerald, and I’ve always associated that with deep, dark, mysterious, alluring, but a little flawed, in a pretty way, since emeralds are so often cloudy.)
I KNOW THIS IS REALLY WEIRD. I’m aware of that.
Also, wearing one color throughout can be pretty slimming. So there’s that.
I love dark wash jeans. Way more flattering, and just a personal preference. Love ‘em. I own skinny jeans, but I don’t really wear them a lot, and I save my baggy jeans for the shelter, when I’m running around with the dogs or covered in kittens that like to use my legs as scratching posts. Much more comfortable.
I generally wear my straight leg or boot cut jeans – dark wash – on a normal day. Sometimes they are kid jeans. I have accepted this. Kid jeans are comfortable and fit well.
Camisoles are a staple for me. Comfy cotton ones with a lace trim. I own a bazillion in just about every color and color combination, and I always pair them with a little jacket or a cardigan, like this striped boyfriend one from Forever21 with a pop of color thanks to that red. The red converses are just predictable after that, aren’t they? I like red. It makes me feel happier and huggier. Because of rubies and garnets. We’ve been through this, you guys.
:(
I wish you people paid attention to me once in a while. Then I wouldn’t have to keep repeating myself.
