My friend, Nate, in the white tie, is the groom. I'm standing in for the best man who was off changing — and where I would have been had it not been for her traditionalist parents, as "best woman" — and his two groomsmen, Garrett and Nic. My personal photo is also from the wedding, and I just loved the outfit I wore — and I received a lot of "Oh my god, you look so Audrey Hepburn!" and I'll never turn that compliment down!
Dress — black halter with faux wrap, borrowed from my aunt, price tag still on ($150); shoes — gold flat sandals, San Luis Obispo boutique, $20; gold necklaces — one simple chain and one with a crystal heart pendant, lent to me by my cousin; and sunglasses (with a little bling) — Daisy Fuentes for Kohl's, $14.99.
I think it's such a great photo too.
I suppose I don't think I have a signature style, but I'm a big believer in "borrowing" ideas. Creativity is truly just someone else's idea inspiring your own trends. My lovely friend calls it copycatting, but it's truly the biggest form of flattery. I'm flattered by anyone who sees something I wear and mimicks it. I'd only be offended if they went out and bought the exact same outfit...
The hard and fast rule that I live by is when you see an outfit on someone else that you like, scour your closet when you get home. Is there something you own that could be worn a different way? Can you reinterpret that outfit through your own closet? Do it as best you can and dress it up with 2nd hand or cheapy accessories and VOILA! You have a hot damn outfit with very little effort.
It's all in the inspiration.
That's all for now, nothing terribly interesting going on other than that. I'll get back to you after the weekend — I'm supposed to go backpacking! Lots of glamour there...
Ciao,
kc
