The latest addition to the style file. I've always had a preference for "tough girl" looks as opposed to the whole pretty thing. If I'm going to a wedding I wear a black dress. If I'm going to wear a white tee I'm going to pair it with super tight dark denim and a bold shoulder blazer. A frilly blouse is almost always topped off with a leather jacket. It's how I'm most comfortable and I will say it is the one thing I have definitely nailed down about my personal style.

Some more examples...




What aspects of your personal style have you defined?

I've been searching forever for a way to crop my boyfriend jeans so they're actually wearable. The length is 32" which is long on me anyway and because the jeans are meant to be low-slung they fall even longer. You'd think heels would be the solution but they're so long they hide the whole shoe and still drag on the ground. I'm afraid to just crop them because then they might make me look short and fat. First world problems anyone?

Maybe something different is in order.

What if... when I cut off the bottom section which will be considerable, to make them ankle length, I then take the extra fabric, turn it inside out, and sew it back on the bottom of the pants...
