An entire year later we must all be wondering what's going on. "That Style Scribe doesn't even post anymore," "Pshh, I'm deleting this from my Google Reader!" Although I make no excuses, going from writing essays and taking exams to teaching 120 middle schoolers has been quite a lifestyle switch. I have to say I've missed this though, and considering that I now live in the Nation's Capital, I should have plenty of interesting things to report style-wise.
I felt that a Fourth-of-Julyesque post would be a fun return to the blogosphere.
Even as a person who didn't grow up in the good ole US of A, I really do enjoy the Fourth of July. There's food, fireworks and fun. Some people think that holiday-themed outfits can't be chic- but I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. Here, I pair my favorite stars and stripes halter with a white, 100% cotton long-sleeved button-up (tied at the waste to keep it casual). I thought it'd be a great way to give off that "I'm sexy and I know it without trying too hard" feel. I wanted to keep it fun so I popped a red headband and red earrings to keep the colorful, cheerful vibe going.
And to top it off, what says quintessential American gear more than aviator Ray Bans? If you think of something, pray tell.
All in all— you can go with the theme of the moment, without being the meme of the moment.
Fondly,
The Style Scribe
