I've always had an appreciation for fashion, but I've always been one to shy away from my own sense of style. Hidden behind jeans and t shirts is me, a creative, an artist, a fashion risk taker. Having recently become acquainted with my internal compass and with motivation from a documentary I watched the other day I have decided to act on my fashion risk taker sensibilities. Taking my compasses direction north I realize I love hats. I have only one so I've been wearing it every day.
I mentioned in the first paragraph a documentary that had inspired me. It's called Advanced Style it's also a blog. Ari Seth Cohen, the photographer, story teller and creator walks the streets of New York City looking for women of advanced age who also have a distinct fashion sense or style. I think the freedom and youthfulness radiating off these women is what was so inspirational. I'm not of an advanced age and I'm too scared to show my style. And I thought, what a waste it is not to have that freedom right now. Why should I wait. Ripping my bandaid of jeans and t shirts off in one swoop would be too painful so I'm taking it slow. It starts with the hat and some colorful leggings.

My favorite lady in Advanced Style is Ilona Smithkin. She is so beautiful.
