Casual as a Second Language...


(I'm defintley a Lauren not an Audrina)


I like to think of myself as a girl that can pull a great outfit together at the drop of the hat. I actually love when we have specific plans and I know that I get to plan what I will be wearing to that event, by trying on different things, picking that perfect shoe, planning my hair, makeup and nails for that event.

I do believe my inner stylist comes out and it is one of my favorite past times. However, when I know I will be running errands, have a casual lunch, going to a athletic event you might as well bring a magazine because I seriously draw a blank and it can take me hours to figure out what to wear.

I am not a girl that wears flats, which I have discussed before and I swear dressing casually can be the hardest thing for me, especially when it comes to footwear.


My version of casual and my sorority sisters version of casual were completely the opposites in college. They would always be asking me why I was so dressed up and I really didn't think I was. So as I went through a fashion identity crisis in college, I would always try to pull off the looks they would wear just think American Eagle, J Crew, Abercrombie and etc... It was just not a look that I could pull off, and I never understood why because it did look great on all my friends!

So now that I've decided to just step out my comfort zone and realize that it doesn't matter that I don't look like everyone else and my fashion flaw is causal dress that I will just have to accept that's it's better to be overdressed, because what's it going to hurt to look the best in the room.



However, every now and then I will find that perfect casual look with my favorite cowboy boots but I also know that I was a student in french class and remember french as a second language every now and again too!!~


Fashionably Yours,
