#OOTD: Generation Y

So after my extremely weird outfit yesterday I wanted to tone it down and be comfortable today. But just because I'm comfortable today doesn't mean I don't have something up my sleeve for tomorrow... just you wait.

As a child I was a hardcore fan of the Spice Girls, my favorite was Baby Spice. I still love them after all these years! I mean hello, tuesday's outfit title was a spin of Sporty Spice! My favorite has definitely switched to Ginger Spice though because of her wacky fashion antics but I listen to them almost every day. So I thought I would finally get a Spice Girls shirt. I still remember (my mom) buying this album the day it came out and I thought the cover was just beyond cool.

#OOTD: Ghost

Third day of my Week of White! People have started figuring out what I'm doing but it's started something else. They think I'm going to continue the year wearing monochrome outfits, a different color every week! These people do not know how lazy I am. That is just too much work to do every week, honey.

But I made this "body cover" during the summer and I've just been waiting for the right time to break it out. I was inspired by Hwan Sung Park but I couldn't find it for sale anywhere. I think it was just a showpiece so I made my own. It was super simple. Get a piece of tulle as tall as you and sew the sides together to make a tube and then just sew in an elastic neckband.

#OOTD: Skorty Spice

Today's the second day in my 'week of white' and I really like this outfit. While I've worn outfits that pushed boundaries before, I've never worn a skort. But I actually really love this. I guess it's just like a pair of shorts with fresh-to-death detailing on the front.

People seemed shocked by it, no surprise there.

#OOTD: Blank Page

Today was my first day back to school and I felt so happy to be back. My classes bored me a little because I only had one of my design classes today and two electives. But tomorrow should be more fun, I have two design classes to look forward to.

An idea has been stirring in my head for awhile and last night I finally decided I would do it. All this week I'm only going to wear white. Why? There's literally no reason at all other than that I think wearing a monochromatic outfit makes you stand out and I like to stand out. (And white is my favorite color.) People really seemed to enjoy my outfit I wore today, as well as my extensions. I'm loving the extensions.

Trend Report: White

White has been my favorite color for awhile but lately I've been getting much more into it. My entire room is white but now I'm working towards obtaining more white clothes and hoping to be able to easily make an outfit any day I want completely based on white. It's quite a goal but I think I can do it. 

But besides my neurotic white clothing craving, white has been showing up on runways in the form of clothing and makeup. I put together this blog post to show off the trend of white and to give inspiration for outfits anybody can assemble. This trend could easily have been foreseen from the monochrome trend that's still happening but it's taken on a life of its own.

T by Alexander Wang Spring 2013

White and Black as usual. Still exciting and beautiful somehow.

T by Alexander Wang was simple, subtle, and sexy this season and the pieces are so timeless and classics. Everyone could use at least one piece from this collection. (There are leather shorts in this collection!)

James Long Spring 2013

James Long had a presentation this season, rather than a runway. As you can see from the photos, none of the integrity of the clothes is mistranslated. 

Black and white was the theme this season. This needs no further description, just enjoy!

notice the cut-out!

The styling for this collection was impeccable! Wet hair (unusual, but unique) & winged shoes all added to the grunge, edgy look of James Long's collection.

Alexander Wang Spring 2013

Alexander Wang's Spring 2013 Collection was full of surprises, from peeps of skin to glow in the dark fashions and chrome fabrics. Wang stated that he played with the idea of "tension and suspension" which is clearly evident in this collection. Check it out below!
