One thing that has changed majorly since I have moved here to New York is my style.
I was the stereotypical California girl who lived in my high-waisted Levi's and flip flops. The outfit could transition into a winter outfit in a blink of an eye with just throwing on a flannel and booties... and maybe a floppy hat if I was feeling adventurous. But that whole look has changed now. When I wear my jean shorts I don't feel like myself (and I look like a pre-teen Justin Bieber lover).
Maybe it is a part of growing up... or the climate change but I find myself lusting over pleated trousers and cardigans at Banana Republic rather than Brandy Melville's one-size-fits-all cotton dresses.
Maybe I am just being a total female and overthinking it but I feel like my change of wardrobe is a reflection on how I have changed since I moved to New York. I'm still the same clutzy-silly-girl everyone knows but there is a tougher backbone that I developed while growing into my own independence. There are days where I look in the mirror with my hair in a bun wearing my Chelsea boots and waxed jeans and can barely recognize myself. I constantly think about me a year ago and thinking how much I have changed in one year. I am 23 years old and have so much to learn about myself but I'm beginning to mold into my body and truly understand who I am and I don't think I could have had this realization if I didn't step out side of my comfort zone and move to the east coast. So yeah, I could be getting a little deep about my style change corresponding with my experience and growth here in the city. But I think its kind of awesome that your style can change with your personality mostly when you are realizing it. If I could change this much in 7 months who knows what a whole year in New York will do to me... I'm itching to see... and I will keep y'all posted with each new revelation I have. Until next time xx
