What month is it again...?

Sister, sister
I think that I have the most fun dressing when the weather is transitional. You know, that perfect day that is 75 degrees in the sun and cools down just enough for a light sweater at night. During these days, you can wear just about any season's clothing and completely get away with it. For example, shorts with boots - as my sister has done with her effortless-looking outfit above on the left. My version of this is a tank or exposed shoulder with boots. Although, I am still deciding how I feel about these boots in particular. They look super cute, I think, but my foot slides in them when I walk. I feel like I have to get those gripper socks to wear with them so I don't walk funny when I wear them. Maybe that means they don't fit right...? Who knows. Beauty is pain.

Looking at my sister and I side by side, it strikes me how different our styles are. It makes me think about the definition of style to begin with. Who really knows what it is? Obviously, style is relative. Otherwise there would be no such thing as an ugly outfit. Even though her outfit is much more unique and, dare I say - hipster, I think I prefer my more conservative look. Not only is it much easier to pull off, but it is just easier in general. I guess someone has to toot my horn, right? ;)

Military Chic

Urban Outfitters Hat | Old H/M sunglasses (similar) | Old Nordstrom Top (similar) | Express Ponte Pant | Military Boots

Where better to start to look for inspiration than at home? My sister is the perfect example of a trend setter who refuses to consider herself that. She pairs items together that you would not expect and pulls them off to a "T" - not to mention, she photographs incredibly well (I hate her for that). But these military-style boots are on repeat for her regardless of the season, and they make the best basic to throw into any pairing. And of course - they make the outfit.
