STYLE ADVICE: Let Loose the Rebel

December 31st, 2016 at 2:00am

In life we have personas—different parts of us that shine at different moments. What you wear can change your persona on a day-to-day basis. Personally, I stick to a fun, preppy persona most days of the week. I usually shy away from dark colors. Dark colors are fierce. Dark colors are daunting. Dark colors are rebellious.

So let’s bring out the rebel. I noticed this Fashionista always rocking a rebel look. Her signature dark Ray-Bans speak louder than words could. Behind these Ray-Bans, no one knows what you are thinking. Keep them wondering what the rebel is up to next.

In this look this Fashionista rocks a dark black sweater. I like this sweater because it’s thick enough to keep you warm, yet it shows a little skin. Rebels are fearless. Rebels would never slip on a pair of jeans that didn’t have a little scruff on them. This Fashionista rocks ripped jeans that keep up her persona.

For shoes, this Fashionista opted for grey booties. These booties have the perfect amount of height—they show off your rockin’ legs while still being easy to walk in. These shoes are ideal if you are looking to wear this outfit out. If you want to dress it down for the day, try old Converse sneakers or Timberland boots. I love my Timberlands because they can face any sort of dust. Wherever I wear them, they always fight off the mud—defending me like a rebel.

If you usually go for light colors, then spice things up with this look. You are not tied down to a specific persona, and you have the power to change who you are at any given moment. Start first with your outfit, and let loose your inner rebel. Stay bold.
