Jessica, Vanessa, and I have known each other since freshmen year of college when we had DOC section together. I had stalked them on facebook at one point to find them snorting powdered sugar in the dining hall. I was confused and thought they were crazy. Either way, we ended up friends and eventually bonded because of our love of fashion. Jessica recently left San Diego to move for work to San Francisco. Since we all can't see each other on a daily basis, now we can share our fashion high points and daily ensembles in a fun way. We are aiming for three posts a week each.
I've been interested in fashion for as long as I remember. My sister (who now works in costume design) and I used to watch tv and draw sketches of clothing with our Pentel pens. Me and my two older sisters have always been avid shoppers. Our parents say we get it from our Grandmother Lillian who was quite a fashionista in her day. I was very young when she had her first stroke and don't remember her in her prime but like to think I inherited my style from her. I have a vintage Gucci jelly roll handbag in my room at home which is a tribute to her fantastic style.
I would describe my style as being preppy with a bit of hipster/trendy mixed in. I have never been one to jump on trend-trains early. I usually wait it out until there is a version that is more low key. For example, I didn't buy skinny jeans for over a year because I was not down with how most of them fit. My closet is FULL of cardigans, my number one favorite clothing item, and lots of solids. My friends joke that I dress like a teacher. Fittingly, I have been a Hebrew school teacher for 4 years now. I generally am relatively modest and try not to wear anything that I think I will look back on and regret in 10 years.
If you don't like how I dress...well...you have seen the title...
