Changing The Look

“When a woman says, ‘I have nothing to wear!’, what she really means is, ‘There’s nothing here for who I’m supposed to be today.”
― Caitlin Moran, How to Be a Woman

I think someone's sense of fashion can change. You don't always have to be "preppy" or "grunge" because that's what people normally see you as. I am a fan of changing my style often because I have different moods and want to wear different things. So here are some inspirations for different styles!

Grunge 
Grunge (noun): a style or fashion derived from a movement in rock music, characterized by unkempt clothing

Elements: Distressed denim, cut-offs, plaid, floral dresses, combat boots, jackets, oversized clothing, leather jackets, black tights, round sunglasses.

Style Icons: Courtney Love, Alicia Silverstone

Preppy 

Preppy (noun); A style associated with that of a preparatory high school. 

Elements: Bright/pastel colors, crew neck sweaters, collared shirts, belts, button downs, khakis, large-faced watches, seersucker print, boat shoes, penny loafers. 

Style Icons:

Bohemian

Bohemian (noun): a person, as an author or a artist, who acts and lives free of regard to conventional rules and practices

Elements: Maxi skirts, ankle boots, headwraps/hairbands, knit sweaters, sandals, floppy hats, tunics, earthy jewelry, vests, tassels, fringe, flared jeans, floral prints, scarves, lace.

Punk 

Punk (noun): a style or movement characterized by the adoption of aggressively unconventional and often bizarre or shocking clothing, hairstyles, makeup, etc., and the defiance of social norms of behavior, usually associated with punk rock musicians and fans.

Elements: leather, skinny jeans, studs, ripped denim, chains, graphic tees, motorcycle boots/military boots, black, skulls.

Style Icons: Joan Jett, Blondie

Vintage

Vintage (adjective): representing the high quality of past time. 

Elements: Okay so this is kind of hard because there are many different decades you can pull elements from. Here are some examples:

20's: Drop waists, shift dresses, pearls, fringe. 

50's: peter pan collars, full skirts, shirt dresses.

70's: Bell bottom jeans, tie-dye, jumpsuits, platform shoes. 

80's: Spandex, large sweaters, bright colors, tights, legwarmers.

I think that I'll try incorporating these styles into my daily outfits and I hope you are inspired to do so, too!
