Monday is no one's favorite day of the week. It's the first weekday, you're tired, overwhelmed and overloaded. This Monday, in particular, was my longest (so far). I even changed my outfit four times! I had my outfit all planned, until I spilled all over my pants. I put on a new outfit, went to class and decided I hated this outfit and wanted to cancel shooting with Megan because of it. Since I got out of class early I changed again, but I approached it differently. I said to myself " Mikayla, Monday is already complicated, dress simply today." The fourth time was only because I have to wear certain clothes to work, not as exciting as my accident, hatred and simplicity.
For my simple outfit I went with a Brandy Melville striped crop top, natural waisted Hollister jeans, black flats and a vintage jean jacket purchased at a Brooklyn flee market. Thrift finds are some of the best finds.
No this isn't chic, perfect of particularly eye catching. But it worked for me that day and described how I felt. I think that's a great way to start developing a personal style. Some days I feel more fashionable then others, some times I feel like I have six projects due this week and I'm living in leggings. Whatever it is I feel I try to make it work for me and my style. Sometimes simple is superb.
