Off, Slightly Amiss, Askew.

One of my favorite quotes, from Nina Garcia (found in her book The One Hundred).

The idea behind this is that fashion isn't about having it all together -- it's about wearing things the way you want to wear them, making choices about what you put on based on how you want it and like it to look. I love that. There are formulas that work and are helpful, but they aren't the only way to go about getting dressed. Your style is unique because you're the only one who can wear something the way you wear it. So don't worry too much about whether something's "okay to do" or not when it comes to an outfit -- if you like the way it looks, chances are you're going to own it and wear it better than something you put on because someone told you to.

  1. This quote is how I have a "style". So much easier for me to be "slightly amiss" on these things.

    1. It really does release your conscience to just... not be perfect, you know?
