Officially Not Yours???

I decided to create this blog many months ago. However, I couldn’t quite conclude a functional name for its content, therefore it was never established. However, my recent trip to New York inspired me to use the name I’d been calling myself for several months now, Kitty Officially Not Yours. So for my first post, it is only fitting to use my Big Apple experience to discuss my new fashion movement.

I went to see my alma mater compete in the winter tournament called the Big Apple Classic. Since this was officially my first trip to NY, I wanted to be prepared for the 20 degree weather. Therefore, I layered every piece of clothing I could find in an attempt to stay warm. However, to my amazement, the shuttle from the hotel to the station eliminated my greatest exposure to cold weather for the entire trip. I could have easily worn a dress with some leggings. However, I let the season dictate what to wear.

That is why I created this blog. Fashion can be whatever you want it to be and in every season. Climate does not have to be the deciding factor in determining what you wear but rather an influence to your ultimate decision. We all know that designers create winter, spring, summer, and fall lines and each season we anxiously wait to see those collections. However, we are not our seasons. So, I say wear what you want in whatever way you feel most comfortable. Use those trends as a way to transition into the true you. If you want to wear a shift dress the entire winter, do it. Or maybe you want to rock some biker boots the entire summer, I’m with you.

Just remember, that fashion trends are dictated by the seasons, while your style remains the same. Own up to your style, don't get lost in the transition. Tell the season it’s Officially Not Yours.
