Blazer: Forever 21; Top: Gap (similar); Pants: Limited; Belt: H&M
I recently wore this look to work and had a hard time getting out of the house with it on as I kept passing the bathroom mirror and thinking: "I am committing every fashion faux pas... ever." The mix of black and navy, then the polka dots and stripes, and then the vertical jailhouse stripes on top of everything. Whoops! But it turned out to be one of the most complimented on looks I've worn in ages. Everyone loved the mix of prints and the colors, which took me by surprise. Sometimes it's worth it to push the envelope and disregard everything your mother taught you... sometimes!
At some point other offices on campus and my colleagues learned about my fashion blog, which was initially (and still is) horrifying to think about. I have a few colleagues that peer into my office in the morning to see what I am wearing for the day and often comment on the combinations. It's definitely increased the pressure of looking inventive with my clothes every day, though it does feel pretty silly! Do any of you have colleagues that know you blog? How do you deal with other people in real life reading your blog?
