Why Did You Wear That: Baby, You’re a Firework

By Kirsten|July 4th, 2013|Personal Style|

This year’s Fourth of July couldn’t have fallen more perfectly on the calendar. A four day weekend? God bless, is right. This, however, led many to stress out over where they’d spend such a fortuitous long weekend. I couldn’t even begin to tell you where I was last year during the Fourth. I’ve given it a bit of thought, and I have zero recollection. Sadly, that has no correlation to the amount of fun that was had. The year before, I watched fireworks alone on my rooftop, simply because it was less frightening to hear the fireworks if I could actually see them. To be honest, fireworks scare me, but I also have an irrational fear of dragonflies, so it doesn’t hold much weight. I do, however, love the ol’ US of A despite all its flaws. I’ve never been one to wear a Christmas sweater or paint my face for a football game, but I do think it’s nice to give a patriotic nod to our great United States by adding a bit of red, white, and blue to your holiday ensemble– in a totally non-obvious manner, of course.

Why Did You Wear That: Bus Stop Blues

By Kirsten|March 13th, 2012|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

We’ve all been there. You know, enjoying the nightlife a little too much and having to face the consequences when the sun rises. In college we called them “shackers.” There’s nothing worse than having to evacuate the scene of the crime in last night’s LBD, stilettos, and authentic bed head. The walk of shame doesn’t have to be so shameful though. Keeping a pair of sunglasses in your bag and using a little imagination can keep you from looking like Pretty Woman when the morning comes. Borrowing a simple button down shirt and belt can create a super chic shirtdress in no time flat and no one will be the wiser. (Own that big hair though, girl).

Why Did You Wear That: Shades That Were Made for Each Other

By Kirsten|October 5th, 2011|Why Did You Wear That?|

A couple of weeks ago, I pulled both of these photos separately, only to realize that they had something in common: the color combination of an orangey-coral and denim. These colors look so great together and work on both the top and bottom as well as on fair complexions and warmer complexions– not to mention they are great colors for the fall transition period. Tan or gold accessories would accent both outfits nicely. Dressed down for day or spruced up for evening, you can’t go wrong with these shades so clearly made for each other.
