Thanks to my dear and talented friend, Shelby (check out her blog: http://bronette.net/), Husband Joe and I went to the Walker Art Museum After Hours Party last night. In a text message exchange beforehand , I asked Shelby what we should wear. Her response was "I'm wearing jeans. It will be the artsy-hipster crowd. You know the type". She's right: I know the type. Well, I know of the type.
Style has been on my brain lately (as well as one of my other friends, who is a blogger too, http://hjshaunt.blogspot.com/). I would never classify myself as a "fashionista" but I do like to be aware of current trends and I like to dabble in them. Only lately have I decided that I prefer quality over quantity. In that, I'll buy an eighty dollar pair of shoes over three ten dollar pairs like when I was younger. Getting in shape and losing sizes has also help perptuiate my latest fashion craze (not to mention reek havoc on my fun account balance--all worth it, though). I subscribe to a couple different fashion magazines so I have something mindless to distract me during my workouts. However, lately Husband Joe has found me reading an article, dead stop on the treadmill or bike. Even Husband Joe has had style on the brain. If we were financial affluent, we'd open a clothing store for men ages 25-40. Joe has found that he is no longer interested in wearing polos with a big eagle on them and can't yet put on the loafer and sport coat/button down outfit.
So last night both Joe and I observed the artsy-hipster style while in search of our own late twenty-something style. Head to toe Leopard print, large 80's glasses that I wore in 2nd grade, sport coats with massive emblems on the back, and of course, the short purple 80's dress. While we stood in our jeans and black tops we agreed: the artsy-hipster style isn't for us. So onward we go, searching for our style. Joe's currently at a hockey game and I'm on my way to the theater. Maybe we'll find our style there?
