Hello friends! Welcome to my first outfit post! Not only do
I adore this colorful little combo, but there’s a little more behind the sudden
fashion blogging as well:
Alright so I’m sure you’ve heard of the infamous no-shave
November. As if we needed more of an excuse than the existence of sweatpants to
be lazy, it’s like this declaration by society that being lazy as fall chills
down is totally a-okay. In fact, it’s completely encouraged! That being said
though, I don’t tend to do things the lazy (and honestly, smarter) way. For the
past four years, me and a friend or two have remixed this month of laziness to
turn it into a bit of a challenge! So now I give you…
No Pants November!
Basically, I try to go the whole month without wearing
jeans or sweatpants, instead styling dresses, skirts, and shorts! For me, this
is a super fun way to resist the urge to crawl under fuzzy blankets the whole
month and not come out. Plus, layering is one of my absolute favorite styling
techniques! And you guys finally get to see this fashion nonsense I’ve been
planning to do! (That is if I don’t get too cold and give up. Although it’s
definitely still between 65 and 85 degrees every day here right now.)
My hope is to put up a couple of OOTD posts on Insta every
week, and give you a recap of my no-pants November favorites at the end! If you
care to join me, just use #nopantsNovember and #WonderlandCheshireStyle on any Instagram posts! (Oh and I
don’t do no-shave and no-pants at the same time. I don’t think you would want
that…)
I guess the only “rules” I can think of is that leggings
don’t count as pants, but I challenge myself by only wearing them under tunics
or dresses as some extra warmth. (Oversize t-shirts with leggings really aren’t
my jam anyway.) As I said, I also totally permit myself to wear shorts, and
sometimes layer those with fun tights!!
And no, you can’t use the excuse that everyone will think
you are weird for dressing up. The common uniform here at A&M is definitely
Nike shorts and t-shirts and I’m one of the few that wears dresses for more
than interviews and job fairs. But I get excited about lookin’ cute! You should
be able to express your personal style however you want to! Even if you don’t
do no pants, I at least challenge you to find some fun way to express yourself
with your clothes! Being trapped by popular style kinda stinks. You do you,
babe.

And if your personal style happens to be allllll the
dresses (I can’t be the only one!) then hop on the band wagon and break away
from a month of sweatpants and blue jeans!
So, do I have any takers?
Stay lovely,
Update: Apparently this is already a thing on the internet! So I won't be the only cold and insane one!
