A very happy Outfit of the Day as a salute to some actually tolerable and v pretty Athens weather! *Madea voice* Thank da lort for no more 98° weather! ...Only so I don't have to be ashamed of introducing myself as a fashion major as I WEAR WORKOUT CLOTHES TO WICK AWAY THE SWEAT. This is my kick-off of blog posts so act like you're enjoying it or else I'll be reduced to crawling back into my turtle shell that is my lofted dorm bed. :) :) :)
But the REAL question all two of my readers are probably asking is...why am I pulling yet another blog out of my butt?? For so long I would have people tell me "Ugh, Jenny, start up a fashion blog...you would be so great at that!!" And of course, for years, I would both start and delete countless blogs. Why? For fear that either my peers would google my name (amongst all the creeping they were clearly doing on me) and find my blog, never letting me live it down, OR no one at all would see it and I would continue to be the nobody I thought I was/am, floating into internet oblivion with my dreams of being a superstar celebrity stylist slipping through my doll-sized hands. With this constant battle of fear of embarrassment vs. fear of eternal anonymity knocking inside my skull for like, ever, I finally decided, "Hey dude, you're going to college where nobody knows you, and you're leaving a place from where you don't need anybody, so how 'bout you screw what everyone thinks and do what YOU want for once?" So here I am bloggin' away in my tissue box-sized dorm room, the sweet smell of Jimmy John's wafting in as I attempt to spark the flame that will turn into the freakin' MONSTROUS FIRE of my (hopeful) future career. And I know I'm making the right choice--doing my own thing, that is. College has barely started, and I've already learned that if you want something, then YOU have to make it happen. If you want it, dayum girl, just go get it!! Wish me luck. Jacket: JCPenny ($30) (quite literally took me four months to find an affordable cargo jacket that wasn't too thick or too silky or too heinous, and lemme tell you...this is the BEST investment I've made in a long time.) Slip Dress: Urban Outfitters, Betsey Johnson Vintage Collection (actually an ACTUAL SLIP from under the original Betsey dress, whoops am I in my underwear?) ($15) Scarf: Thrifted from my late great great aunt's closet Earrings/necklaces: Forever21 ($4, $3) Shoes: ASOS ($28) Lemme just go ahead and wrap up this post by giving a brief explanation of my style...something along the lines of "thrift store/your dad's closet/the sale section of any UO/wtf is she wearing" (illustrated by the fact that I am wearing a slip as a dress and maybe shouldn't have worn my hawaiian girl underwear that says "get leid" underneath a very sheer piece of non-clothing??) The point is--and my point all the time for every blog post and that I want everyone to know--wear what you want. Wear your great-uncle's weird sweater with santas on it, wear your friend's leather pants that may be a little tight on you (hey, they're still hot), or wear leggings as pants BECAUSE THEY CAN BE PANTS OKAY, MOM?? Your body is your canvas so do whatever the heck you want, homie!! And once again, who cares what people think? If you wanna wear it, wear it. If you wanna do it, go do it, man! As the wise philosopher Pinterest once said, "You regret the lack of action more than action taken." A huge thanks to my cool photographer friend Maggie Scruggs for taking wannabe model shots of me (hopefully you can't see the gangly teenage white boys playing basketball behind me outside the dorm...)
