What's the first thing you think of when putting an outfit together?
For me, most times, Comfort! I just love to feel comfortable in whatever I'm wearing, I guess that's why I am so drawn to the bohemian style.
For many there's a complete thought processes when arranging an outfit. This maybe a conscious thought or it maybe be unconscious. I have come to realize, as with much of everything learned/ nurtured in life so too are we with clothing. We make unconscious choices based on our past experiences. For example, I remember when I was about 10 or so my mom took my sister and I to Coconut Park in Jamaica, I was dressed in a matching short set. It included a boxy buttoned up top much like the one in this photo and a shorts that was down to my knee. I remember how much fun that day was and how comfortable I felt. I think unconsciously I attached those feelings to that type of clothing. Believe it or not, we do attach memories and emotions to specific clothing items. These feelings maybe be good or bad but we almost always gravitate to the clothing that elicits good memories in essence those that make us feel good about ourselves. However, sometimes individuals use clothing as a security blanket, a means to hide from the world. I won't go in detail with these ideas but I'll definitely start a series that explore why individuals wear the type of clothing they do.
Back, to me 😊 and this outfit... As I've told you before or you probably have noticed, I'm not a fan of much colors, but I do like Blue. Fortunately, it does make me 'blue' 😁 -bad joke right? I like how its looks against my skin and I do believe some colors make you look better than some. So, make a point to find out what colors work for you. Ok, I'm a rambling mess, please bear with me.... I always seem to pair boxy tops with fitted bottoms. Its something to do with the shape it gives my body. ( I have a boyish shape). Tucking the front of the shirt in the shorts creates shape and little bit of edge. This outfit works everytime when I'm running errands or a day at school because its easy to throw on but still have me looking like I made an effort.
Yes, I wear boots in Jamaica! Sue me 😁 These are very comfy and not hot at all. Bought them from Target.
