Since July of 2006 I've been blogging my daily outfits on flickr more or less regularly, even during my pregnancy last year. I partly do it to share my personal style with others and inspire them to develop their own style, but I also do it to learn about what works best for me and on me. My style could be called experimental, since I never wear the same outfit twice, and most of the time I approach the way I dress in an experimental way. It has been suggested that I share them here, so I shall. But I'll also take the opportunity to talk a little bit more about my thoughts on the outfit. So consider this my inaugural personal style feature!This particular day was a pretty casual day involving running errands and doing housework. But it was sunny out so I thought I'd wear my parasol hat. I pinned it to adjust the "flop" so it wouldn't flop in my face. I knew I wanted to wear the utility skirt that day, but also I wanted to see if it took a petticoat (I'm really into underskirts right now), and I was curious to know how a flouncy skirt would feel/look underneath a more utilitarian one. Lately I've been limiting myself mostly to a monochromatic palette, so I thought I'd use my vibrant kente print bag just to throw things off some. |
