Grey Layers

of style and of substance

Conventional unconventionals: A story on Styling

Spot the pants. Look closely, things are not what they appear to be. It may or may not be magic.

 

Boots are made for walking and pants are made for wearing. As they all say. Not in this case. If pants were always worn as pants, boots were always worn for walking and rules were made to be followed, Green eggs and ham wouldn’t have existed.

I remember back in college I would go to parties but not have anything to wear because I was never allowed to buy mini dresses and skirts ( Hashtag parents). Nope, that never stopped me ( Hi mom, if you’re reading this, I love you). I cut all my long dresses and would tighten them. Then I ran out of dresses to trim, so I started using my tote bags and making mini skirts out of them. I’ll never forget the time I made a tube top out of my sequined bag! Mini skirts made of shorts, two piece bathing suits made of one piece bathing suits, tube tops made of tote bags, you name it, I made it – and wore it , proudly.

Boxes are cute. Boxes are safe. But nothing extraordinary ever happened to something ordinary if kept within the box. Take yourself out of the box and explode into anything you’d like to become and have fun!

Example A: I guess you can say that I’ve found a new use for these Fifth Label pants. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m wearing pants ( ofcourse, duh), as sleeves.

Example B: Borrow your boyfriend’s things. One, he’d never miss them, and two, they’d look better on you, trust. Mess it up a little, tuck and untuck the different corners and no one would ever suspect a thing. Jeanne_022416-0740

Your perspective : Change it. ASAP.

It’s a change of perspective with a side of magic.

Now, do you see it?

Also side note: Talk about great hair day! Well an amazing hair day is every single day thanks to Zelda Hair. She has the best array of a thousand percent real haired wigs that I have completely fallen for. You guys know me as that girl who went to get her Grey touched up at least every two weeks at the salon. Well, it left my hair unhealthy and dead. There is zero shame in keeping your locks healthy and opting to wear fun wigs! Again, perspective.

I guess the rebellious side of me came in handy. (Mom if you’re reading this, I hope you still love me as much.)
