Have you ever noticed how kids love to dress up in costumes and rock them everywhere whether it be hanging out at home, going to the grocery store or out to dinner? I love this for its carefree and fun-loving spirit but I also identify with it. Costumes can become like armor giving you super powers and protecting you from the mad world we live in. Fashion can become your costume. As of late, I have been collecting a small yet powerful arsenal of fashionable items that make up my adult version of a costume, the rockstar, which whenever I put them on I feel like a true badass. When I find these items, I know immediately. And when I look in the mirror, I think to myself
Rockstar Status. While not everyone is going to want to wear edgy, crazy items, I do believe everyone should have some things in their wardrobe that makes them feel a little daring, a little crazy and a little beautiful. Here are a few of my favorite ways to achieve this.
1. Shades. A great pair like these ($15) we have at the store, can make you feel totally cognito and incognito at the same time. Only a superhero rockstar could achieve such an amazing contradiction. Sunglasses not only look great but protect your eyes from the sun. Clearly, a rockstar move.
2. Leather. Everyone knows leather = rockstar. Our faux leather leggings ($45) from Hue fit really well, look great with boots and sweaters and have back pockets. They also add a really stylish texture element to any outfit. You can easily wear a black sweater with these pants with lots of layered necklaces and look instantly cool.
3. Black jewelry. I can never resist a good black and silver jewelry piece. It goes with everything and I can always layer it with other silver items I own and it definitely has an edge. Chan Luu always has something with this combo and inevitably I always end up ordering one for myself and one for the store.
The wrap to the left ($178) is a classic style of hers that we always keep in stock.
4. These Frye boots currently at Williams Shoes are the very definition of badass. They look like you have been touring for the past year, gotten in a few bar fights and won. The best thing about these boots is you don't actually have to do any of that that to get them to look like this. These boots come ready to wear without the hangover and lack of sleep.
5. A great nail color. I was one of the last people to the manicure party but now that I've shown up I'm obsessed. A great manicure is a real game-changer and an affordable luxury. It's just the little oomph that can make you feel put together and edgy. I love this color called "Go Overboard" by Essie. Very apropos for a rock star don't you think?
6. Leopard print. Evanston has greatly resisted all leopard print items I have ever had at the store but I encourage you all to find one thing you love in this print and give it a go. Nothing says confidence like wearing leopard and owning it!
What items do you have that make you feel like you can take on the world?
I would love to know!
