Day 136 – Fearless Fashion

Although Heather and my styles were different in a lot of ways when we were younger, we both had no fear when it came to our fashion sense. Whether it was clothes, makeup, hair styles… we showcased our individuality as we saw fit. I came across a picture of us when I was staying at her house in Chicago one summer. I remember us buying the shirts we had on at the mall and I must have talked her into it cause this wasn’t really her style but she rocked it big time! We were always up to try something new. They were florally, sheer crop tops. We both wore them with white shorts. I got a giggle when I saw this picture thinking about how much fun we had that summer. My son was about 6 months old and we would get all dressed up to take him in the stroller on walks.

Anyhow, later today I was headed to the beach after a quick stop at the local farmers market – which btw I ran into the cutest little Tricycle Ice Cream man, so I just HAD to stop- lol. Anyhow, before I got out of my car at the beach I noticed a headband that I have been wanting to wear but for some reason just haven’t had the courage- which is so not like me! I had it on one day and when I got from my house to my car I took it off and put it in the middle compartment. I felt like maybe I was just beyond the years of a woman that should be wearing this “hippie-ish” style headband.

Well, in the spirit of Heather and I and our many years of daring to be ourselves and not caring one bit what anyone thought of it, I put the headband on. I stepped out of my car to walk the beach and refused to care what anyone thought. I love this headband – it channels the small piece of “inner hippie” I have in me- I guess it’s really more of a bohemian flare as opposed to hippie.  My style is quite varied depending on circumstance but this is perfect for the beach. I proudly wore it, took some pics and enjoyed my time at the beach. #HGAL #fortheloveoffashion
