My instinctual term of choice for describing my everyday style is “lesbian chic.” That label is typically received with a look of confusion or a laugh, but really, is there a better way to describe a steady diet of fitted button-downs, jeans and brogues/loafers?
Admittedly, my go-to wardrobe is slightly reminiscent of Fran Lebowitz. However, I’d be lying if I said I’m always on a mission to repel the opposite sex with my sartorial choices. I find satisfaction in piecing together the occasional Tumblr-worthy outfit from my daydreams just as much as the next girl.
On those days when I’m feeling fancy, free and fashion-inspired, Alexa Chung, Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller (circa 1992) are my fashion muses. But damn, do those women wear obscure, expensive brands and priceless vintage finds. Tracking down the different pieces and accessories of their casually cool out-to-lunch outfits — those perfect ensembles that whisper, “Look at me, but don’t look at me” — requires approximately ten times the effort than what actually creating them took.
Emulating fashion icons’ personal style is, unfortunately, easier said than done. So what’s an outfit envy-stricken girl to do? Simply wander through life without a clue as to where to find the boyfriend jeans Chrissy Teigen was wearing in her last Instagram?
