One of my go-to outfits is a pair of leggings, a loose top, a flannel around the waist, and a pair of black booties. As I have said before, I dress for comfort most days. On days where I am not meeting anyone in a professional business setting or doing anything work-related, I will usually opt for something that I probably would be willing to sleep in. This outfit is one example of such attire. The best part is, when it gets colder at night, the flannel is both stylish and functional.
The thing with wearing leggings, though, is that I do not actually like wearing leggings with short tops. Depending on where I buy leggings from, sometimes it is possible that the treacherous underwear line is yearning to pay the public a visit. In order to prevent this from happening, I make it a point to wrap a flannel shirt or a jacket over my waist on the off chance that I decide to wear leggings with a shorter top that does not cover my behind.
My first month as a Freshman in college (five years ago), I created a blog. My first blog post on my old blog was around the time when chelsea boots made an entrance in the fashion scene. Topshop came out with Chelsea boots and Acne Studios released their ever so classic Pistol boots. And me? Well, I fell in love. I couldn't afford to spend $500 on a pair of Acne boots at the time, but I searched high and low on the dot com to find similar pairs. I ended up buying a pair of ASOS boots and wore them until the heel was uneven. Then I ventured on to invest a sturdier pair from Opening Ceremony.
My roommate - bless her soul as I will always love her for this - always encouraged me to make YouTube videos or start a blog because I "have the closet for it". So I took multiple pictures of them strutting around my dorm room while my roommate sat on her bed spitting encouragement at me. But, guess what? These are those very same boots. Point being, investment pieces are called investments for a reason. They stick around.
