Style Blogs: What I Wore Today

I follow a few style blogs on a regular basis. I like to see what other people, real people, not celebrities are wearing. It inspires me (hopefully) to step it up in my own wardrobe choices. I don’t follow any “green” style blogs, but some of the ladies use eco-friendly ideas with their wardrobes. 

The first style blog that I ever visited was What I Wore Today.

Kasmira, of What I Wore Today,  blogs about her daily fashion choices. She works in downtown Cincinnati, takes part in local theater productions and events, so she shares a good balance of both work-wear and fun-wear.

Kasmira takes part in clothing swaps and shops regularly at secondhand shops.

 A recent post talks about her admiration for what she calls “dead old ladies” clothing – dresses, slips, clothes with a vintage feel and look. Her post “Secondhand Raspberry”  features something she calls a “secretary” dress.

Take a look  at the post and let me know what you think.  Do you think of something in this style as a “secretary” dress, because that’s the same reaction that I always have. I’m not sure where the idea came from.

Another thing that Kasmira does is she re-purposes clothing. She was once a Marine and has reworked her uniform skirt to a point where if she didn’t tell you it was her uniform, you’d never know. She offers short tutorials on cropping pants, second-hand shopping, over-dyeing denim, and how to swap clothes with a group.

I’ve enjoyed checking out Kasmira’s outfits for the past year and a half, during which time she went from a mid-length redhead to a short-coiffed blond. I don’t always go bold with my choices, but I enjoy the inspiration I get from someone who does.
