Defying Expectations

October 25, 2011 in Casual, Empowerment, Forever 21, Life, Nike, Vintage/Retro/Thrifted, What I Wore

(love the accidental movement in this photo)

There are certain things that people expect to go together: little black dresses and cocktail parties, pencil skirts and pumps, wide leg/bell bottom jeans and platforms.  The pairing of these things are a bit of the norm and work wonderfully together, especially when each person adds their own special touch!  However, vintage silk shorts (seen before here) and high-top Nike Dunks aren’t exactly an expected pair, and I think it kind of makes this outfit lovely in its own right :-) .

Cardigan:  Minnie Mouse for Forever 21 (Forever 21); T-shirt:  Mossimo (Target); Shorts:  IDK (vintage from my mom’s closet); Shoes:  Nike (Nike Outlet)

Sometimes I’m very smitten with my blurry photos, so I share them anyway :-) .

We should never be afraid to step out of the box and defy expectations, whether it be in fashion, career, love, or overall life!  I find that when I do, wear, say what feels most authentic to me regardless of what others may expect is when I feel like my best self and am most satisfied with life.  What do you do (or want to do) to defy expectations my darlings?

P.S. Yes, I do jump on the trampoline with my niece and nephew from time to time, but it is an exhausting workout, lol.
