I am crazy about bold, bright, color.
My style is, and always has been,
ethnic, colorful, Bohemian...edge-y.
From ripped, faded denim to beat-up biker jackets,
rock band tees, studded belts,
leopard print heels, combat boots, tassel bracelets,
and super sexy lace-y lingerie.
All of which seems to me like something
a very confident girl
would wear.
Which is kinda funny, I think,
because I'm really shy. There I said it.
Yep, I'm really, really shy.
Totally the quiet type.
One-on-one, I can talk up a storm, believe me,
but put me in a group situation,
like a party, or the totally dreaded Jewelry Trunk Show {I've only done a couple,
and I don't do them anymore, because I seriously have terrible 'stage fright'}
and I am pretty much just a quiet bystander,
pay me a compliment, and I trip over myself with insecure comments like
"oh this is just from Marshall's, it was only $24.99".
So, what is it with my style?
How can one appear so sure on the outside,
but be so timid on the inside?
I thought about it and I think it's
my heart on display.
I just totally LOVE fashion. I am moved by it. It is 100% who I am.
Some like pale, serene, pastels or neutrals,
or sophisticated blacks and greys.
I do, too, sometimes,
but all-in-all,
it's COLOR that speaks to me,
color {and destroyed denim.
I will seriously wear some type of deconstructed denim until
I'm one hundred and five. That I am sure of.
Most likely with a printed, colorful Bohemian top}.
So, I guess that it would be safe to say that although
I can be painfully shy,
I actually do love to share a few things that I'm passionate about,
I just find it easier to post a few photos,
or make a pretty piece of jewelry,
to hide behind my art, so to speak.
Maybe one day soon,
someone will notice this shy girl {okay woman} quietly standing in the background
and say "I love what you're wearing,
you have a great sense of style", and with that, I can
step up, and finally, boldly
say thank you {period},
and really own it,
once and for all.
My husband calls me Wild Thing,
so I guess, at times, the inside does match the outside {wink, wink}.
