Random

 Hands down my fave look from my summer shoot. If I have to say what I’m most adept at in styling myself, it’s my ability for expertly combining the utterly random. Nothing in my life is obvious or homogenous. While sleeping at the home of a bestie from high school (hi, Danna!), I was telling her hubby a story that compares being married to not. He was like, “you went from A to Z; there are a bunch of letters in between”. His wife wisely observed that nothing in my life is normal. I swear it’s unintentional but my life is definitely comprised of wacky extremes. Everything winds up being large scale. Which is kind of funny when I just want to be left alone and quietly go about my business. What can I say? I have a large energy that naturally attracts and mixes all sorts of crazy shit. That’s why I’m far more in my element dressing like this than say, in a beautiful designer dress. Blah. Give me interesting any day.

This look has elements of menswear, tween, and girl next door. The crop anime tee was a new purchase from Forever 21. This silk boxy blazer is a few years old from Rag and Bone. I wear it to death. It’s unstructured so it feels like a silk pajama top. My J Crew fedora is Diane Keaton meets the Hamptons. I met her once, at the Crosby Hotel in Soho. She was beautiful, nice, and dressed exactly as one would imagine. Total goals. If you don’t love Annie Hall, I’m trying not to judge but...

White denim shorts from Current Elliot. The priciest item here are these white Margiela high heeled clogs. Always the most boss accessory at the party. I would love this tee under my torn denim overalls, the ones that make me feel like Left Eye from TLC. Each piece here has endless uses on their own, and tied together they are an unexpected combination that (I think) ooze creativity and confidence. Which is one of the best things about fashion; we can say nothing because our outfit says exactly who we are. Mix it, Kids. You’re better than a paint by numbers outfit.

Love you regardless.
