Classics: My Style Trick

Monday, February 22, 2016










































Today's post is inspired by a style challenge I'm doing this month on Instagram. The prompt for today was "My Style Trick," and to be honest I had no idea what I was going to wear for it, until I was getting dressed yesterday. 

I have a portion of my latest design project due today, so yesterday I was prepping for that. When I finished, I wanted to go ahead and take it over to my studio classroom so I could mark it totally off my to-do list. The problem was, I'd been lounging all day in almost pjs and even though I was going to be dropping off my project on my desk and leaving I still felt like getting dressed a little bit. But I certainly wasn't going to go all out, and I didn't feel like putting on makeup. Enter in a few classics, and my go-to style tricks, which I hadn't fully realized until yesterday!

When you are in a pinch, whether it's a last-minute errand or meeting like my situation or in a style rut, it's always a good idea to refer back to the classics. After all, that's why they are classics! For me, they are a striped tee, comfy jeans (a pair with a more relaxed fit), simple accessories, and a loose bun. Here, pink lipstick was a little bonus. 

What are your classics? After all, "classics" for me might not be "classics" for you!
