I’ve noticed that lately I’ve been subconsciously pushing myself into unfamiliar territory style-wise. I think it’s fun because it forces me to learn new things about different types of pieces. Also, as with anything in life, the more you do things that are unfamiliar, the more familiar they become (knowledge is power!!). This is how you expand your own personal style…
For many years I swore that I would never wear dress shoes with jeans. I would see friends rocking this look and think that it just didn’t work very well. The jeans were often too big and would swallow the top of the shoes or the shoes themselves were too formal and looked wrong. Plus, I was probably very stubborn and still emerging from my wannabe ghetto phase anyways…
