Remember that resolution I made over a month ago? I decided to "dress better", and I wanted to document and share the process. I used this past month to read a few books ("True Prep", "Take Ivy". and a few others), explore blogs, and watch some of the recent fashion week coverage. I overhauled my 'style' pinboard and started pinning looks that I liked.
All of this exploration led me to realize my anti-fashion stance regarding personal style. I don't like to look chic or streamlined. "Trendy" things make me feel dizzy and sad. I just feel like I've overindulged in a lot of "try hard" activity and I feel sort of embarrassed and confused by what I've taken in.
So, I'm cleansing my palette with simplicity. It's really the only answer. I'm taking an anti-fashion stance against my now overloaded senses. I'm going to curl up in simple and comfortable basics for awhile to cure this sensory overload.
However, I am still going to document it because I feel like the understated need a voice.
That's it!
If you feel sort of "boring" or "simple", I'm gonna be your poster boy.
What are your favorite basics? Tell me about your wardrobe staples!

Boring my butt. I likes your style Robbie! :)
Trendy things make me sad too, I am not good at being trendy ; _ ; But I really like your outfit, especially the red hat!
My staples are black, black, black, and more black - my wardrobe is has very little colour in it because I like to add colour with accessories; scarves, brooches, tights, and (of course!) hats! ^_^
i like this outfit and i like this post... i don't think you could ever look boring and simple tho.x
I'm actually learning to love ties of all things.
I teach at a university so I need to be slightly more professional now and the movement toward wool pants and dress shirts has been overwhelming - my father was a mechanic, so I know how to rock a jumpsuit - but I find I teach better and feel more confident in my new clothes.
Making my own tie this afternoon, actually, the reward for a job well done.
I like your style!
Skinny jeans tucked in boot, slightly oversized shirt/sweater or tee & jacket. Although I'm starting to realize that this is becoming the "fit middle aged lady" uniform, so I'm getting a little nervous.
i actually really dig your style. also, i don't care what anyone says about AE, i love love love it!
OMG I feel the same way about trendy stuff! Makes me dizzy! Haha.
You look cute, by the way. :)
my wardrobe staples tho are dresses, leggings, big boots and a stupid amount of colour.x
