Man Repelling as a Ghetto Republican WRapper

**Please note this title is satirical**

Completely channeling Leandra AKA The Man Repeller with this look; pattern mixing to the extreme. The idea of pattern mixing used to send my OCD into a fit just thinking about it, but the idea has been growing on me and I must say it’s quite invigorating to dress a little “crazy” and make the people around me roll their eyes. In fact, when I came out with this on my photographer friend giggled and mentioned I look like a white ghetto republican rapper (hence the title). I went with it; threw on my favorite rap sing-a-long of Nelly’s Hot in Herre, and had some fun shooting this.

Relevance

I’ve finally gone out on a mini-shopping spree and purchased some fashionably relevant necessities! For instance, this jacket from the Army/Navy surplus store was only $10, and I’ve worn it literally everyday since I got it! Also, sneaker wedges! Mine are BDG brand and were bought at Urban Outfitters, and again, I’ve worn them everyday since I got them. They’re soooo comfy but after 4 days in wedges even I think I need a break!

Militant

Disclaimer: This was my first time on my roof; my photographer friend was nervous about the “No Trespassing” signs, and his nerves were then transferred to me. Err Go, These photos are not the best that they could be. Also, it was an exceptionally windy, late October day.

Now, I try to keep my posts interesting by diversifying my style, shoot locations, et cetera. Hopefully my friend and I can officially conquer our fear of the roof signage and produce more great shots from up here! Because, well, once those green trees finally succumb to their fall foliage and death, there is a FANTASTIC NYC skyline view. Be jealous that I get to see the skyline daily…it’s something I NEVER take for granted!

Concrete Jungle

I channeled my inner safari-an today for a look with my sparsely used caged wedges and some elephant jewelry.

After work I took my safari to where the wild things (of New York) are, the Cooper Park dog park.
