VERSUS!!

I love scarves. I have tons of them. And I have come to the conclusion that there is 2 majorly different but effective ways to wear scarves.

  New York City                                           VERSUS                                                      L.A.

                                                     

When I think of New York City, I think of a chic and classic person.And When I think of someone born in L.A, I think of somebody the laid back and " Yeah I just got up but I still look awesome." type of person. A way to wear a scarf ,that to me epitimizes New York City is to mix it up. For instance, The denim button up,the distressed satchel, and buckled boots was a bit utilitarian. Then the ruffled skirt added some femininity. And last but not least the leopard print scarf comes out of nowhere yet it matches seamlessly. Lately I've really liked buttoning up the whole shirt, and tying it in a knot at the waist. But I don't know if it's just me but if I were in New York wearing this outfit, I think I would fit in nicely. But fitting in in a Texas high school....that's another story. 

   Now look to the picture in the right hand side, That's an "L.A". way of wearing a scarf. Now instead of the thin rectangular shape and nice fabric of the NYC scarf the L.A. scarf is squre shaped with loosely woven fabric. How I wore this outfit, I just got a T-shirt and my denim motercyle jacket (It's ironic since I don't ride motercycles.) , and paired those with a splatter painted scarf & a purple loose beret for some color. And although this isn't necesarely L.A., I always like to add some retroness. So I put on cropped jeggings and my wingtip oxfords.

    Overall I would have to give the scarf victory (Oh my god that sounds lame.).... To New York City!!!!

 Then again I'll have to admit, I'm a bit biased since I have a giant NYC sticker behind me.

 Well gotta go.

accckkkk!! Driver's Ed.......

So I started Driver's Ed yesterday And you know what the teacher said to me because i was working ahead??....."I'm gonna roundhouse kick you into a glacier." Seriously? Why can't school teachers be like that?? He was freaking hilarious!!

So any who I tried out  the "combining bright colors look"  I like it. But I made it where a NORMAL person can wear it!! unlike a certain someone...

Ummm yeah ...Target just happens to have bright orange high-waisted pants on hand (sarcasm) ...So I decided to do a cheap & wearable way to wear one of many bright color combanations.

DIY'ed blazer-H&M,Dress-Forever 21,Tights- Target, Belt-It's my mom's

AND these are my sister's shoes from Nordstom Rack and don't they look like Cinderella's glass slippers??? Yes, I know it's a bit naive but in the back of my mind , I kind of hoped that at some point during the day, I would be walking down the stairs, one of the shoes would "happen" to fall off and Prince Charming would pick it up and give it to me, and then HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!" (but it's 2011, so happily ever after would be for a few months or something)
But what really happened, was I was walking out of the grocery store, my shoe fell off, and my mom told me to put my damn shoe back on.(her words not mine)

So any who back to the outfit....
Yellow and blue are my favorite colors to combine, so I found my DIY'ed blazer (post about that in one of my previous posts) and cobolt tights I never wear.  The thing I was having a tough time with is something that would cover all of my necesarry parts. And I would have stuff I've worn to recently or dresses that just didn't go. And at first I didn't give this dress a 2nd glance , because I thought the stripes would make to busy, but at 10:30pm it was my last option and instead of ruining the outfit I had in mind, it actually brought it together. The reason being the neutral colors kind of tone it down, this season you can't go wrong with sripes, because it's spring's top trend. And the belt was just the nearest out of all of them, because it didn't really matter which one I wore. And I wore the shoes because of the Cinderella-ness of them.

See you next time
