Day 5: Tan (fashion)

 

You made it to the final day! Congratulations! Check out some of our favorite trends and looks below!

 

Kait: For many years, I only wore dark-wash skinny jeans. I thought they were the only acceptable form of jean to wear. I assumed that any other fit would make my #AerieReal body type look like a church mom from the 90s or a homeschooled fifth grader with a pet bird. I thought that baggy jeans and menswear were for skinny girls so they could look small in them by comparison, and my job as a bulkier woman was to wear tight-fitting outfits at all times to create a feminine shape. Nowadays, I say SCREW THAT.

 

This is my favorite pair of jeans. They’re the Wild Fable brand from Target. And my huge, 80s-style jean jacket. DENIM ON DENIM, BABY. They’re pulled together with a pair of thrift store honky tonk earrings and the Doc Martens I’ve had since I turned 16. I look like a blue-collar 1970s factory worker and I LOVE IT.

 

Rebecca: My job has a professional dress code, so I’m setting aside my leggings and Birkenstocks in favor of blazers and flats. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t totally thrive in that type of uniform, and I’ve had a lot of fun finding ways to make the dress code more Me. Though I wouldn’t wear it to a ~super important meeting~, I love layering a graphic tee with a blazer. The jacket in this photo is from Kohl’s, and the shirt is from an artist I love on Instagram – @chipperthings. It’s so soft, and it reinforces the idea that I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m having a blast doing it anyway. Get out there and business casual it up, girl!

 

Grace: I dress for comfort on most days. You’ll probably see me rocking an easy hoodie/tshirt with leggings/athletic shorts look. My outfit for the day is also usually dictated whether I’m going to workout that day or not. I live off campus so it’s just easier for me to go straight to the HRC after class rather than going home and changing. It’s not that I’m lazy, I just don’t really care about fashion much. I’ve never been one to value brand name clothes, or bags, or shoes, just because of the name on them.

 

Rae: So I suck and my favorite look right now is my formal look. I got a fancy dress from lulus on like uber clearance and strapped on a pair of red block heels with it. To complete the look I went with a simple gold hoop as to not distract from flowers on the dress. Typically, I don’t look like this though. Most weekdays you can catch me in anything business cas, which usually ranges from a pair of Old Navy pixi pants, a button up and some sort of blazer/cardigan/jaket thing. When it comes to weekend attire I’ve been really into joggers and mock neck turtleneck things- all about looking slightly put together while being comfy af. Formal look pictured below.

Kait Wilbur is an aggressively optimistic individual obsessed with sitcoms, indie music, and pop culture in general. She hails from Manito, a rural wasteland in Illinois so small and devoid of life that she took up writing to amuse herself. Kait goes to Butler University to prepare for a career in advertising, but all she really wants to do is talk about TV for a living. You can find her at any given moment with her earbuds in pretending to do homework but actually looking at surrealist memes.
