So this is a first and I'm very excited about it. Right, so I have a passion for street style. Completely love it. To describe my own style, I call it an edgy but elegant sort of thing (my friends thoroughly inform me that it is hipster... ugh...) Basically one of my core beliefs is for people to wear what they want, and to wear it because they like it, not because someone else does. But this is some of my style inspirations from the past few months and I thought I'd share!
OK, so the first photo is right on point with trends at the moment (the stripy shirt). I'm learning to love it although I'm not big on 'following the trends', I kind of like to look at them because it gives me an opportunity to look at things that I probably wouldn't usually do. I like the simplicity about the outfit (I'm generally not big on the fancier side - I just can't be bothered.) But the casual shirt, with that purse and the sunglasses, added to the ombred (why is autocorrect telling me that ombre isn't a word??) hair to dress it all up; yep I like that. It's also, for those of us who are addicted to underdressing, a good way of dressing up casual clothes just to make it a bit more city and less chilling-at-the-beach-with-friends.
Seconds photo (we're going across ways here) I'd just like to say if you have red hair, NEVER dye it. I will seriously murder you if you do. I LOVE red hair and this girl is just acing it. Also, I'm having serious love with that leather backpack. Argh.
Let's talk about this this third girl's hair. Oh. My. God. It is glorious. I kind of didn't pay attention to her outfit and just stared at her hair. Then I glanced at her face and saw she is also totally adorable. Ah some people have all the luck.
OK so in these photos I think you can see that I admire people who dye their hair quirky colours. The grey dress and the high socks with ankle boots? I'm up for that. Also, I'd like to note that I absolutely love high socks, as long as they don't make you look like a prostitute. That's not a good look...
Just kind of liked the boots in this next photo. And I liked the simple rolling of the jeans. I think I might have had socks just poking out of the top of the boots though. Not really sure though, depends on the rest of the outfit.
White blonde hair. Especially when it is long. It's absolutely gorgeous and incredible hard to pull off to look good (most people do it cheaply and it sort of makes their hair look like hay - please if you want to do this, splurge and do it right otherwise it will look hideous).
The girl coming of the washing machine (I think?) is one of my all time favorite photos. It looks comfortable and edgy, which I adore. Also I have a crush on over-sized shirts and white doc martins so extra points from me.
If you're into make up (I like it, but I am by no means an expert) I thought the next photo was kind of cool. I'm big on heavy eyebrows and I thought she did really well with highlighting those cheekbones, so if you want some make up inspiration, try that one maybe? (If you do, please send me a photo!)
Now I know that stockings and shorts aren't everyone's favourite (my mother hates it) but I have a passion for it. It's another one of those things where you have to constantly check that prostitute line. But it's also a practical things for me, where I can recycle my shorts into winter. (Plus, it's also really comfortable, so that's always a bonus).
And now to lucky last (I'm joking it's not actually lucky, it's just another photo). But as mentioned before, I have thing for over-sized shirts and with that comes rolling shirt sleeves. I think it looks really good, a good way of personalizing something or making it a bit more casual if you're needing to dress down. Once again, I think she has white blonde hair so of course I was going to love this photo. Also, for someone like me who lives in Australia (where everyone has a love affair with the beach) and having more of a street style, I often find it hard to find inspiration to see denim shorts styled in a different way.
So yeah. That's about all I've got so say (I'm joking there's heaps more, but I have a feeling you don't want me to ramble for even longer). Sorry for going on and on for so long, but I hope you enjoyed today's post and let me know if you liked it! :D
