Most of you all should know by now that I’m into fashion.
I’ve posted designers’ collections and street style photos. I even have a new style feature that will be coming very soon. I’ve done all of this without showing you my own style…until now.
“Oh, so now NIA SPEAKS is a fashion blog?” Absolutely not.
NIA SPEAKS will always stick to its original purpose; but remember, I’m a versatile blogger. I want to post things that interest me and possibly others.
In fact, I’ve always wanted to post what I wear; I just rarely had the patience to actually do a shoot.
Plus, I don’t like being the object of a photograph. I’m more comfortable with being the behind the lens. I studied photography, not modeling.
Anyway, I titled this post “Studs and Charcoal” because I studded stuff and my Chuck Taylors are of the Charcoal variety.
Originally, the denim vest was a long-sleeve denim shirt from Forever 21, but I got bored with it. Boredom led to cutting off the sleeves and sticking gunmetal studs in it.
Studs, spikes, or anything similar are among the things I adore. You won’t believe how many things I’ve studded. Shirts, shoes, you name it.
Those Chuck Taylors have also been studded with silver studs. It was a grand old time.
By no means can this one outfit completely describe my style. This was actually more of a chill day. I would say my style is varied…or versatile. I could wear studs today, color block tomorrow, wear a suit the next day, and still feel equally comfortable. I actually feel most comfortable in a cute business suit. I’ve been wearing suits for as long as I can remember. Childhood was a good time.
To my surprise, my socks received the most compliments compared to the entire outfit. And here I thought the socks were the least noticeable detail.
Yes, the photo below and the first photo are the same photo.
