One of the guys
Tuesday, October 12, 2010I was thinking of my childhood when I put together today's outfit. I was a tomboy growing up, always running around and playing sports with the boys. Anything they can do, I can do better. No false modesty here =P
Today's outfit is inspired by the quintessential country club outfit for guys -- sports coat with khakis, but with a girly twist of course. I'm loving my new Banana Republic wrap, but I find myself having trouble concentrating at work because I just want to lean back and take a nap haha. How do you like to tone down masculine looks?
scarf/wrap: Banana Republic (currently sold here)
blazer: theory
belt: Express
pants: Express
bag: Chanel
flats: Mossimo

I am more like a girly girl. My Mom always put skirt/dress on me when I was a little girl. I do like your outfit (especially the Theory blazer). I am drooling over your Chanel bag :)
ReplyDeleteI was a total tomboy too growing up but I had to wear skirts and dresses as a uniform. When it comes to masculine style clothing, I add a feminine touch with color, ruffles, or other little details to soften the look. I'm recently loving adding brooches to blazers for some extra zing! =)
ReplyDeleteBig props to all the former tomboys!
