In a world of constant change, the detail-oriented fashionista is still being persecuted by those that judge and form narrow minded opinions based on their own insecurities. Take for example the following questions and comments:
“What is heck is she wearing?”
“I would never be caught dead wearing that out the house?”
“This trick thinks she’s so cute with her pleather pants, whore.”
Although these questions and comments are a little extreme, this is reality for most fashion driven individuals.
As a result, a discussion of individuality and personal style leads us to this week’s style feature with Brittany K. If you remember last time, Brittany K. made her debut on the first post this season with her autumn inspired look. Today, Brittany is back for a second go-round with a polka dot jumper, crop top, and floral heels. Check out her full feature below!
“Prototypes are the trendsetters, trailblazers, and innovators of this era. These people march to the beat of their own drum simply because they’re creators with a vision which they live to bring alive. You can always tell a Prototype by their confidence in their unconventional style—they’ll wear whatever is expressive of their art at that moment without seeking approval from others.” -Brittany
For a style blogger that focuses on fashion and eccentricity, our friend Brittany knows a thing or two about personal style. She states, “I say be who you are, because that is when you’re the most beautiful version of yourself. Nobody can say anything to you if you’re confident in your own character. And if they do, who cares? Their option doesn’t matter—only our Maker’s does. He gave you your life, your soul, your mind, your heart. These things shouldn’t be altered or modified by anyone except him.”
Let’s use this scenario as an example. Suppose you decided to walk to the super market wearing Brittany’s outfit, a polka dot jumper, crop top, and floral heels. Rather than people appreciating your creative vision, people may stop, stare, and take pictures of your “bogus” outfit to exploit you on a social network. You would think in a millennium of technology, high fashion, and social networks, people would be more inclined to appreciate your creative style, as opposed to forming an opinion based on the clothes you wear.
“I really built this look around the jumper, it’s definitely the statement. I love mixing prints so the floral pumps were a no-brainer. And I just saw the crop top a good fit. Turquoise goes well with monochrome, it’s the right amount of pop. I love this look because it has a lot going on but still comes together in a subtle sense. ”
Now, our first impressions of Brittany’s outfit were twofold. First, we loved that extra pop of color pulled from her shirt. Since the polka dot jumper was already loud, Brittany decided to add a little more flavor by wearing a brightly colored crop top. Even though the temperature continues to drop, Brittany was more inclined to setting herself apart from the crowd, rather than covering herself up with an oversized coat.
Second, what made her want to combine a polka dot jumper with a pair of strappy, floral heels? Well, Brittany loves mix and matching prints. Since she already had a solid color top, she wanted to add another element to her outfit without over doing it. If the floral heels are little too risky for you, try a leather or suede pair of booties. You can grab those from Forever21 for a cheap price.
