I never removed the hood, despite its sometimes interfering with that day's ensemble, because I figured, "If the designers put it here, they know best...who am I to say their idea's no good?" Same for shirtsleeves--if they were buttoned at the wrist, then, by jove, I'd keep them buttoned.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">(Did I just say "by jove"? I did? Crap. My secret's out...I'm really a 72-year-old man posing as a young mommy style blogger.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Collars? Belts? Cardigan-shirt sets? Same thing. I assumed that clothing was designed a certain way for a reason, and as a Joe-Schmoe (or, rather, Joe's sister, Jane-Schmane), I certainly couldn't claim expertise above a designer's vision. I think this narrow mindset put me on the fast-track to several style pitfalls: </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">(1) With limited stylability options of my existing wardrobe, I had to either purchase more stuff or sit on the sidelines and watch others waltz freshly and fashionably (dare I say glibly? yes, I dare) and glibly by. Which is an awesome feeling. Ohp. Wait. No it's not.</div><div style="text-align: center;">(2) Becaues they had few uses (in my wear-it-as-it-comes-and-ONLY-as-it-comes mindset), my clothing purchases were usually cheap...on all counts.</div><div style="text-align: center;">(3) My creativity was stinted, as I couldn't (wouldn't?) let myself look outside the box to mix and match, modify, tuck, switch out, etc. Unless, of course, said box had dumped out a pair of jeans and a tee and they happened to be lying by the side of the box when I got up in the morning. Thanks, Box. I'll wear these today.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It was up until just a short time ago that I realized this: (Are you ready? Super-huge epiphany forthcoming. You'll probably never be the same person after reading this, so say your goodbyes to the life you once knew. Embarking on unchartered waters here.) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">(ahem) Clothing in and of itself is a mere jumping-off point. Anyone can go buy Dress X at the store and wear it. It's not the dress itself, per se, that embodies one's style, although some clothing items do indeed indicate one's style preferences. Rather, it's what one does <em>with </em>a particular garment, how s/he makes it her/his own, that is the shaping and molding of what will come to be personal style. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Why oh why did I waste decades not knowing this? It's so liberating! I can do whatever I want with my clothes because they're mine all mine! They don't own me...I own <em>them</em>! Muuhahahahahaaaaaa!!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">(Ew. Weird. And creepy. But mostly just weird.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So. Here's to us all. May we find the courage and desire to roll up a long sleeve, belt a jacket, cut off a pair of jeans, sew buttons on a wrap, turn scarf into skirt and skirt into shirt, pop a collar, break up a suit. The possibilities are virtually limitless. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">See what I'm wearing above? Denim on denim? One of my #1 Fashion Faux Pas. And the shirt's sleeves are <em>supposed</em> to be long--the double snaps at the wrist prove it. And a sweater vest shouldn't go with denim. And the necklace was "meant" to be doubled around, not worn long to my navel. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'd continue listing the rules I'm breaking, but I have to stop typing because I need a hand to pat myself on the back.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy HAPPY Monday!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Want this rebel look?

I think the world would be vastly different if "bloog" were indeed the new "blog." </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">But. I'm wearing these sandals because I'm not going outside today. Also, I'm aware that my torso looks abnormally short. Also, this outfit looked better in my head. Also, how did it even look okay in my head, since I'm pairing leather sandals with a nylon belt with pearls? Also, the wardrobe malfunction of the front of my shirt isn't helping matters. Also, yes, I really am that pasty pale. Also, I'm not sure how that J.Crew catalog became an unwitting prop in these photos. Also, despite all this, I'm completely comfortable and okay with how I look.<br /><br />Also, I think I'm wearing out my welcome at the Also household, so I'll be on my way.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Saturday!</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Want this look?
