Looking like a bored deer caught in headlights.
Shirt: Vintage Alaia / Jacket: Artizia / Jeans: J Brand / Shoes: J Crew / Bag: Zara
A Small Collection of "Confessions" (in True Usher Style, Without a Part I):
- I aspire to have a cartoon character wardrobe, in the sense that I wouldn't mind wearing a variation of the same thing every day.
- A good half of my clothes is menswear. It's often more comfortable and cheaper!
- If I can manage to wiggle into something from my mom's closet, I will move it over to mine. The incredible vintage Alaia top that I'm wearing in these photos is part of a set with matching high-waisted shorts she got on sale back in the day. (...Needless to say I look absolutely ridiculous in the shorts.)
- I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to accessorizing, so I keep it minimal with good shoes and my trusty Seiko watch most of the time.
- If I'm unsure about buying a dress and it turns out it has pockets, I will probably buy it.
- I feel my best in all black everything. (This is, however, definitely no secret!)
- My current fragrance of choice, Atelier Cologne's Vetiver Fatal, was inspired by James Bond. It was on their Father's Day gift guide. I had no idea.
- I learned how to tie a bow tie from YouTube. (video)
- Even the easiest hairstyles are beyond my abilities - I can barely manage a side braid with some heavy duty bobby pin support.
- Last but not least, the not-so-glamorous and completely obvious truth is: I usually don't have a photographer buddy around to take my Within Color blog pictures for me. Apologies for all my mirror shots, lovely readers.
Please feel free to share your style tricks, habits, and confessions in the comments!
