Stripe Top: TJ Maxx. Cardigan & Jeans: AE. Necklace: Target.
Every time I get dressed for the day I find myself trying new looks, putting tops together with cardigans that I would have never done in the past, rummaging through my accessories to find matching colors, and trying new things with my hair that I haven't done since I was 12.
It's funny to me that I have spent the last 10 years or so not thinking about those things. Instead I spent the last 10 years dressing myself to "fit in". Shopping at American Eagle, Hollister, and Abercrombie and fitch in efforts to look like everyone else.
I don't think these stores are horrible, as matter of fact I still shop at AE (it's the only place I can find jeans that fit), but I also don't think that shirts with a large brand name across the front is classified as personal style.
Although my outfits are pretty simple, I am far from a fashionista, I feel like I am starting a new chapter.
I am dressing for me.
I am wearing outfits that I like.
I am trying new trends that I feel comfortable in.
I would say that is a much better start to finding my own personal style.

It looks cute & comfortable. That's my favorite kind of style!! :)
Good for you! Not feeling like you have to fit in is pretty liberating :)
love your blog lisa! so cute! i love it! found you via the blog hop xo
I'm digging that necklace! Target has the best accessories. You look fantastic by the way!
You are adorable, and I always love your outfits. Lately, I've really started dressing for myself too. I find that it is way too much work to worry about other people when I'm getting dressed (they usually don't even care anyway)!
Lisa, what I love about your style is that it is not contrived-its effortless and beautiful. My favorite combo:)
I love your style...I think you're adorable. It's classic and feminine!
Dressing for yourself is the best way to dress! Otherwise, it's too much pressure, and that's no fun at all.
You look gorgeous as always!
I love this - I have a cardigan the exact same color but longer, I think I'm going to get a striped shirt to go under it after seeing this!
