When it comes to investing in a piece that you can wear over and over (and over), there's nothing like a good striped shirt. I look for tops that are lightweight and not-too-tight...but whatever your personal favorite fit is, once you find it in striped-shirt form you can take it everywhere.
For example:
Q. Hey Jordan,
I was wondering if you could give me some advice regarding taking pictures of yourself. I feel pretty self-conscious about it, but I want to be taken seriously as a beauty blogger...[and] I know that if I'm running a beauty blog, people will want visuals when it comes to tutorials, hairstyles, etc.
So do you have any advice about posting/taking flattering photos of yourself? Is there any particular editing software that you use to adjust the photos (and can it get rid of my undereye circles)? And most importantly...how does one get past the period of feeling super awkward and self-conscious posing for photos that will go up on the internet?
Thanks for your help!
Alright, I'm not gonna lie: this isn't my favorite outfit in the world.
The pants? Favorite. I bought them in Colorado and have barely taken them off since; they're just the most comfortable things in the world.
And I love them with the teal blouse and the matching shoes, but the navy sweater just...eh. It sort of dulls down the whole look.
But you know what? Sometimes one is cold, and so one puts on a navy sweater that doesn't quite match because that's just how life goes. And yeah, this sweater is a good eight years old and has seen better days, but I have so many fond memories of it that I wanted to wear it one more time before it gets too warm.
I'm headed to Colorado for the week with Better TV, filming a bunch of segments on fall/holiday fashion (yes, already). This trip has presented a bit of a packing conundrum, because it's apparently going to fluctuate between sixty degrees and a blizzard during the five days that I'll be there. Oh yes, and I'm bringing wardrobe for five different segments, plus a couple of additional segments that we may or may not film...but at this point aren't exactly certain what said segments might entail.
Which makes them difficult to pack for.
Basically, I'm bringing All The Things.
But here's what I'm bringing in my carry-on (that's an Isabella Fiore satchel).
I've written before about my "comfort zone" outfit.
A rundown of some of my all-time favorite pieces:
For everywhere, all the time: the Horn Coral Necklace and 3 Twig Necklace from Hannah Warner (probably my favorite independent designer for striking everyday pieces)...
Celebrating mom's birthday with wine, cheese, brownies, and couch-top carousing.
I'm usually not a particularly girly dresser, but for spring I love the idea of an uber-feminine sandal complete with a pretty bow.
Oof, am I ever excited for the Oscars on Sunday. Not because I've seen most of the movies that are nominated (I haven't, although I'm casting my uneducated vote for Argo), and not because I like Seth McFarlane (I don't really; he makes me uncomfortable, and not in a "whee, so edgy and awesome" way...more in a "oh dear, I feel bad for his targets" way)...because of the clothes.
Awhile back, StyledOn.com asked me what I would wear if I were attending the Met Ball.
This is what I chose: Elie Saab couture paired with glowing skin, tousled hair, and touches of sparkle.
