Monthly Archive for February, 2008

Not in a girl way, but in a normal way. I think clothes are a fun way to express yourself. I don’t go out ever week and spend hundreds of dollars on new clothes that I’m only gonna wear once like some people do, but I like to occasionally go out and pick up a new shirt or pair of jeans. Since my life has become horridly boring as of late and the other new Long Reach bloggers are really fashion-heavy, I’m going to give you an exclusive tour of my wardrobe. Exciting, I know.

Jeans

Denim the staple of American wardrobe, and I am no exception. I have four pairs of jeans that I wear regularly, each of a different shade. I like having a “rainbow” because it allows me to have tons of different combinations of outfits. (All jeans pictured above are from Old Navy)

Sweaters

Sweaters rock. I have three that I wear regularly, all pictured above. The light blue one I got on clearance from Aeropostale a few years back (I don’t wear it that often, but I used to!). The red-striped and black- and gray-striped sweaters are cashmere/cotton blend sweaters from Old Navy that I picked up at the end of last year. I love them.

Hoodies

I’m not too huge on hoodies. They’re comfortable and pretty rugged, but I don’t wear them all too often. The majority of mine are gray, with two red and one brown. All from Old Navy. I think hoodies are good weekend clothes.

T-Shirts

I wear t-shirts year-round. During the winter, my t’s are usually just thrown on under a hoodie or a sweater, but during the summer I put more thought in to what I wear. Pictured above are six of my favorite t-shirts. From top to bottom, left to right: My turqoise Grease shirt from last year, my green Disney shirt from last week, brown OCNJ shirt from over the summer, my purple/maroon Dr. Pepper ringer T from Kohls, a cool dark blue t-shirt from Old Navy a couple years back, and a blue Underdog ringer t-shirt from Kohls.

Polos

As with hoodies, I’m not huge on polos. These are probably the first polos that I’ve owned that I intend on wearing casually, and I got them all three last week from Old Navy for my Florida trip. They’re all striped pique polos, colors from left to right: light blue, dark blue, brown. I’m gonna be wearing these more over the spring/summer, so don’t expect to see these on me for a month of two.

Shirts

Surprisingly, only one of these shirts is from Old Navy, the gray/black one on the left. It’s warm and comfy and goes with almost any t-shirt. The remaining three are from Aeropostale. I don’t wear the multi-colored striped one that often, but I wear the brown and red ones pretty often. Ironically, I blogged about the two shirts on the right back in December and complained about them, but ended up buying them on clearance for ten dollars a few weeks later (if you haven’t noticed yet, most of my Aeropostale clothing was bought on clearance!).

So there you have it. An exclusive tour of my wardrobe. One of the things that I strive for is versatility; I like to be able to mix and match. I wear tons of different t-shirts under my black flannel shirt (right now, I’m wearing an orange one. A few weeks ago, I wore my Grease t-shirt under it), I can wear my red and white Aero shirt under my red-striped Old Navy sweater to mix it up, I can wear different colors of denim with my gray hoodies, etc. Otherwise, I’d spend too much money on tons of clothes that I can only wear with one outfit. No thank you!
