A BABY BLUE PERSONA FEAT. RAG AND BONE

Taking time to read is one of my 2020 goals, and as of the past few months, I’ve been sinking my teeth into The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. I haven’t finished it quite yet (it’s a whopping 458 pages), but I’m pretty far along, and I’ll tell you, it’s nothing like I’ve ever read before. (Semi-spoiler alert!) The book shifts narratives in every chapter through the voice of its protagonist, but here’s the catch: the protagonist swaps bodies with each character to gain little pieces of the puzzle. This Freaky-Friday like story inspired me to step outside of my comfort zone in the way I’ve been dressing as of late, and this was one of my favorite risk-taking looks I came up with this month.

I started with the biggest change of all: wearing baby blue jeans!! This pair is from Rag & Bone and fits me stunningly (which is pretty impressive since I’m quite petite!), and I love the small rip and flared, split leg at the bottom. I pulled out the true blue in them when I edited these photos, and I love how it turned out. On top, I stuck with a look that’s very me (a nod to the little pieces left of protagonist Aiden Bishop in 7½ Deaths), and wore a white ribbed turtleneck from Missguided, and paired this Olivia Velvet Tiered Peplum by UO overtop. To complete the look, I added a Topshop leather jacket and the prettiest rhinestone headband.

Completing this swapped persona post with a little sagacity from the Bard (as usual!)
