Outside of My Scrubs: Birds of a Feather, Flock Together

Dec 8

Sooooooo, one of the things that I’m loving about myself is how extra I can be, while still sups laid back, (P.S.: All the cool kids are saying, “sups,” instead of “super.” You’re welcome).

I was absolutely in LOVE with this top from Mixed Emotions Boutique that I bought about 1 year ago. But, I actually never wore it, until like…now.

I mean, that’s the trademark of being a fashion head right? Falling in love with an outfit, then being satisfied after you can claim ownership, but then having it fall to the back of your closet.

Coming from a past where I could never afford to have nice clothes or clothes of my style, I’ve noticed I’ve been doing this quite a bit, probably from a place of overcompensation from what I missed out on previously.

So, one of the things that I’ve been doing lately is color blocking my IG page.
I’ve noticed that by forcing myself to only post pictures with the color that I’m featuring in that moment, I pretty much HAVE to wear that color.

I didn’t want to be too overdressed, so I paired it with some boyfriend jeans, which were WAY TOO BIG in the waist, so I had to pair it with a belt.

Luckily, I had the shoes to match. — There was something so funky yet fun and liberating about incorporating another animal print with feathers, so I chose a leather cheetah print belt to go with it.

I’m sold, animal prints and feathers go together….. I’m a genius.

Hope y’all have a great weekend, and can pull out an old piece from your closet and fall in love with it all over again like I did! ✌🏾
