The title of this post just makes me laugh. I mean, I think I am the textbook definition for the antonym of 'edgy'. But, the idea of limiting my wardrobe and my personality to only one stigma is just no fun at all. I mean, am I always happy? Am I always put together and organized? Do I always get enough sleep to pull this outfit off effortlessly?
No. But that's the connotation of my style.
I think a major problem with today's culture is the idea that girls are immediately defined and stereotyped through their style. Not even so much brand names, but really just the style of clothing they wear - whether it be preppy, sporty, chic, hobo, etc. Just because you're preppy doesn't mean you are innocent and happy all the time, just like girls who wear black all the time are not depressed (black after all is slimming, they're onto something!). This is why I think it's important to display a variety of elements into our style - you don't want to limit yourself to just one persona when making a first impression!
Anyways, when I realized all of this, I began a conscious effort to incorporate things outside my comfort zone into my wardrobe, paired with things that are 100% in my comfort zone. I guess you could say this is the guide for how to be edgy when you are the exact opposite of edgy.
These are all pieces that I would definitely say lie outside of my comfort zone, but that I really really love!

Are you feeling bold this Monday?
