Lookbook: Maybe Menswear

Happy Leap Day!
It's official. I'm 26! The 23rd was my birthday and it was pretty fun. I actually celebrated last weekend with wine tasting and a zip line tour through a redwood canopy in Sonoma. Basically, it was pretty chill (do people still say that?)

So did I accomplish everything on my 26 by 26 list? You'll have to check out the blog next week to find out!Today's lookbook post is all about menswear...and the '80s. In honor of being born in the 1980s, I give you 1980s hair!

I wore these F21 Harem pants on the blog back in a 1 Outfit, 3 Ways lookbook post from March of last year. And I don't think I've worn this Charlotte Russe vest on the Muse since the Vested Interest outfit post back in 2010! The fairly new buckle boots you've seen recently in the Studded Hearts lookpost post. Oh, and I thought I was super cool so I added this butterfly dangle clip-on earring--just the one--to my look. Very '80s, I know.
My menswear look was inspired by this awesome Jason Wu for Target dotted tie tee. The top and the satchel are 2 of the items that I was able to snag from the collection. I also have the chiffon dress in navy and the flared dress in black.

Note: The Jason Wu clothing runs a little big and the material isn't super top quality, so those are the cons. But they do look very girly and original. I had no issues when purchasing this collection. I bought online around midnight on Feb. 5 and everything was delivered to me within the week. I went to an actual Target store to return an item that was too big and even found some Jason Wu dresses (in my size) still hanging on the rack, so I picked up one last thing. Don't you love my arm party? Also wearing the Charla Zoya polish that seriously lasts a really long time.
Gah! I love this hair flip to one side. The only thing I'm missing is a crimper.
What do you think of my menswear-inspired look?

  39. Happy belated birthday honey... :) I am 26 also at the moment and I think it has been a fantastic year. I've gone through a lot, I think I've matured and have a better understanding of life and what I want to do with it. So it's been pretty lovely. I'm wishing you a fantastic year ahead. May there be lots of new adventures waiting for you!
