The Friend Challenge

What good are friends if you can't use them in the journey to develop your style. Okay, so maybe they serve a greater purpose than that, but for the sake of this post, lets just say, "That's what friends are for". A few weeks after starting this blog I took my friend out to find out more about her style. We've known each other since our junior year of high school and I began to realize that I had no clue as to how she defined her own personal style. We are young women, so of course we've talked about clothes, but we have never talked about style. I figured that since I am on my a journey to pick up as many fashion tips and
inspirations as I can, I might as well pick up a few from the women that are right in my corner.


The Assignment

When I called her, I told her to pick out two outfits that best defines her. I had no idea she would wear them together. However, since I know her personality well, the outfit really seemed to work for her.

As she walked down the stairs to meet me I was highly intrigued on the outfits she chose. I had never considered a simple black dress with a neon colored jacket. She even topped it off with a leopard print batman cap. I needed to know more behind her creative design. Here is what she had to say.

                      "My style really isn't complicated. But it's Loud." 

"It's Loud. loud eclectic and pretty simple"

"I really like the [black] dress and how it fits on me. Plus, it's like a sun dress, but I put the tights on to represent winter." 

"The jacket and it's color represent how I feel, it's lime green...it screams happy. The batman hat shows that I want to be batman today, I really want to be like that super hero!"

"Super hero, happy and just...comfortable"

"I'm not going to say that I am an expert on fashion, but I have a pretty good view, but my fashion is a little bit different from other peoples fashion."

"I want my style to grow."

Until talking with her, I had never actually thought about blending two styles together. However, When I really think about it, it's actually done all the time.


               What good are friends if they can't open your eyes to something new.
