Bold and understated.

Well, I'm certainly not the most faithful of bloggers, but my days seem to becoming increasingly shorter. It's the craziest thing. I've been on a little bit of a mission since starting my new job, because I can't be as flexible with my wardrobe as I used to be and I absolutely don't want to be stuck wearing boring business outfits. I want to stay within my work's dresscode, but still be able to express my personal style. Hopefully I've stayed true to that.
I am always looking for new style inspiration, especially when I can incorporate clothes that I already own. I'm obsessed with Keiko Lynn and her take on all things fashionable. She is fantastic! Rachel Bilson and Zooey Deschanel are definitely some fashion icons of mine and the reason I love their style is because they are risky with their style personalities.
I love that! I always feel down when my outfits feel too safe, per say. I love mixing colors and prints an not being too "matchy matchy". To me, matching is a bondage. That is why I'm so drawn to different. And I appreciate those who take risks and are bold.
Recently I joined pinterest and it is the greatest avenue for inspiration! To anything! I of course mostly just look at the fashion and apparel tabs, but it has everything. I wish I had known about it before our wedding. I've posted tons of items I am loving right now, so if your on it look me up. And because I am writing this on my iphone at work, I can't post any links to what I am loving on. I will post pictures soon! Love.
