The other day, I was chatting with my boss about how she's influenced my personal style. So far, she's inadvertently shamed me out of wearing denim leggings (but they're
Madewell! Almost real jeans!) and chipped nail polish. She also owns (and I've been keeping count): a pair of leather shorts, a leather maxi skirt, a leather jacket, and a leather tunic. Clearly, her own personal style is down pat: edgy but appropriate, and definitely cooler than me.
Besides my bosses, I develop style crushes on semi-celebs with ensembles that just pluck my little pants-and-tee-loving heartstrings. The evidence:
1. Freja? Check. I cut my hair into a pixie because of Freja. Then I grew it into a bob because of Freja. Then I grew it out to shoulder-length, thanks to Freja. Wash, rinse, repeat. In addition to her many hairstyles, Freja may be the reason that I have a black leather jacket. And why I wear dark colors so often. And why I wake up at 6:10 AM every morning to go to the gym.
2. An important lesson for which I have Audrey Tautou to thank: throwing a blazer over a rumpled t-shirt makes it look instantly polished. I have a go-to fitted grey number from J. Crew that I can wear over anything and—ta-da! I'm ready for work.
3. Chanel Iman is just cute. Also, I wouldn't EVER say no to a slouchy grey purse and black stiletto boots. Big smiles!
Whose style do you take note of? It's Freja, isn't it? I knew it.

Oooh I love them all. They're "sooo cool" and so laid back. It's the effortless look I crave! I'm so glad your boss got you out of the jeggings situation, I'm trying to convert my friends away from it. I know, they're comfortable though. Next up is some leather shorts, I think I can rock 'em.

Audrey Tatou is my favorite - I love the look of a t-shirt and a blazer!
I work in a creative services agency during the day - where anything and everything goes, and then at a start-up in the evening, where comfort is the magic word. I like the idea of Audrey's look and its versatility to carry a style throughout the day. :)
Cheers!
