Photos c/o of Tutti del Monte

My friends ask me fashion advice, and I usually look at their outfits and shrug my shoulders with a 'don't ask me' look on my face. "But don't you run like a fashion blog or something?" they say. “Ehhh....kinda,” I reply.

More like, "lifestyle.”

I'm actually not a huge fan of shopping. I'd rather be outside playing. I don't like accessories. I'm not a fan of bold patterns, and forget mixing patterns. I love the idea of it all, but when push comes to shove, and someone shoves a bunch of jewelry and mixed pattern fabrics in my face I want to cry.

To some people all of this is such a form of creative expression, and I love that. I love that my friend Jessie mixes and matches. You should see the amount of jewelry this girl owns; it's impressive. Whenever she shows up at a party I just think 'wow...this girl has got that it factor'. Part of me is jealous at the way she puts outfits together. And I wish I was more like that; it seems so fun! But alas...I am not. (But maybe she'll play dress up with me + teach me her jedi jewelry ways?!)

This means that the clothes I have, I want them to last. Because chances are I'll wear my boyfriend jeans 4 times a week. And that white button-up...probably even more. 

I want pieces that can transition from summer to fall to winter to spring. Some may call this boring, but for me...I love it. It gives me the freedom to focus on other things creatively that bring me joy.

So here's to dem jeans + to dat white tee (yup in my white tee...this outfit is what he meant right?)

XO,

Kat
