Don't Think too Mush

Ever since I moved to San Francisco my style has become a lot more..comfortable. It could be due to dancing becoming a more prominent factor in my life therefore upping my desire for comfort and mobility, although the city's laid back hippe vibe could be playing a role as well. All I wear, pretty much, are leggings. I mean I can write, dance, and sleep in them; talk about functional clothing! I really want more though, trying to decide if the high price of really legit ones is worth it or if I can continue shopping at reasonably priced places and thrift stores and still obtain what I'm looking for. It's worked pretty well so far.

These dancer leggings (I think that's their actual title) are from American Apparel. I was so pumped upon receiving these because up until recently American Apparel was solely a wishlist for this poor little rich girl. Being the definition of cheap chic (light on the chic) I just couldn't bring myself to splurge on basics, it had an oxymoron feel to it. But now as a proud owner of these sleek little babies I admit I kinda get the pricing. They're so comfortable, though I sweat a little too hard to actually dance in these, they work for everything else.
You remember this little boy Transformers tee right? Yeah, after a couple of years it's been cut and cropped a bit, and kind of washed into a blithering mess of a garment which of course now makes it perfect. I still get off on the little bling things detailing the face of Optimus Prime, even though a good amount of them have fallen off.

I'm wondering if/when this whole flannel around the waist thing is going to die off for me. It's so weird because I honestly don't remember looking in a mag or blog and being inspired by this styling quirk that has been my almost everyday for months now, but it's kind of everywhere. I kind of think I can just feel trends, which isn't all that great because I'm a little vehemently against them. But this is the billionth time I've been personally feeling a look only to have it pop up all daisy style less than a month later splattered over the fashion world. Hmm..spies..

Selifies and Shizz

You know those photos you just randomly take when you're out living life or whatever? You upload them onto your hardrive because your phones' run out of memory but you don't want the memories those photographs hold to run out too. Every now and then you glance at the some funny, some fun, mostly foolish pictures your iPhone captured and think one day you'll maybe print a couple, maybe upload a few to Facebook or whatever. Then one day you remember you have a blog and decide to start on the whole New Years resolution I'm-going-to-blog-regualrly thing a little early. You start looking through photos and have a good time recounting those meaningless moments previously captured and then stop and wonder if everybody else would too.

Cohesive Classics

I'm sure that by now it has become more than clear that 7 inch D&G wedges and YSL platforms are not my natural aesthetic. While I admirably gaze at sky scraper heels and strappy stilettos with the best of 'em; I'm most me in a cool pair of sneakers, preferably Converse Chuck Taylors, which I lovingly refer to simply as "chux".

Chuck Taylors win hands down as the coolest shoe to ever grace the streets. From the eighties to the present, it seems that Chucks have easily proven themselves as the definition of "classic". Whether you're the hipster, gangster, or even the glamazon; Chuck Taylors offer comfort, class, and versatility that anyone can relate to. With tons of different styles and designs, not to mention one of the best price tags you'll find when it comes to footwear, it's hard not to get a little carried away, as I bought my ninth pair just last week.

My favorite thing about Chucks is the mega versatility they allow. I'm not sure if it's a universal thing or just my personal style, but Chucks serve as the perfect accompaniment to leggings, skinny jeans, and even dresses. I run, dance, and work in my Chuck Taylors, all the while looking cool doing it, and with the comfort of knowing my feet won't hurt at the end of the day.

Classic Coolness and Comfortability, what more can you ask for?
