<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cIf you think adventure is dangerous, try routine, it is lethal.\u201d \u2013 Paulo Coelho\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n I would call myself a halfway-hipster just because I like that expression. Do you know what a hipster is? Do you know how a hipster dresses and what the lifestyle entails? \u00a0First I want to share with you the overall description from wikipedia on what a hipster is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe hipster subculture is one of affluent or middle class young Bohemians who reside in gentrifying neighborhoods, broadly associated with indie and alternative music, a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility (including vintage and thrift store-bought clothes), generally progressive political views, organic and artisanal foods, and alternative lifestyles.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n How does this apply to my style and life? Fashion was at some point very important to me but this was years ago. I needed the to wear the latest fashion all the time and was sucked into consumerism. Now, all I need are the essentials that never go out of style and more importantly to buy things that last for a long time. Being a halfway hipster I love to shop in vintage\/thrift stores or flee markets. What I try to avoid is walking around like a billboard or have any expensive labels showing on my clothes. I love to buy my things from local fashion stores instead of going to a mall. As a matter of fact I hate malls. I love to wear skinny jeans (1) but also high-wasted pants. They hide things at the right places. \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0Unfortunately I do need glasses and I am rarely seen without. I am basically blind when it comes to driving at night, reading or watching TV without them. I purchases a pair of Ray Ban\u2019s just because I like the style and I haven\u2019t found another brand with my preferred shape. I don\u2019t get however how some wear glasses if they don\u2019t need them just to be hip. Honestly, I would rather live without them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When it\u00a0comes to tops, I do love tank tops in any color as well as simple black or white t-shirts. I\u00a0have a couple of shirts as well; my favorite being a plaid shirt. I\u00a0have a couple of t-shirts with book covers printed of them which I love and wear. I also own several cardigans that go with all my tank tops or t-shirts. I love cardigans as well as fitted hoodies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The right\u00a0footwear is key. My husband would say that, \u201cI always wear the wrong shoes\u201d but I think this is not true of course. \u00a0I\u00a0love to wear TOMS<\/a><\/strong><\/em> and they go with almost everything and are super comfortable. Besides that, I wear\u00a0flats in all colors and range as well as boots. I used to wear Converse<\/a><\/strong><\/em> for the longest time but haven\u2019t done so lately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Accessories I rarely use. I do love to use nail polish here and there and sometimes nice pins or belts. I used to have \u201ctunnels\u201d and several plugs but I removed them because I simply did not like them anymore. One gets older too\u00a0hahahah. My hair is usually up in a bun or straight down with bangs. I like it simple and casual and the messy hairdos are fine. Read my hair\u00a0routine here.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>I do have a Longchamp Le Pliage purse<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(medium size) that I have had forever and use now for my son\u2019s things (diapers, wipes, snacks etc.). For myself I have a vintage leather purse<\/a><\/strong><\/em> that holds all my writing implements and usually a book (or two). It is big enough to even hold my laptop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Thank you for reading.
