Summer Outfit: An Unexpected Element!

Hi, everyone!

 

I'm really excited to show you this outfit, because even if it looks pretty normal to you, there is something unexpected about it. I'll go into more detail about that in just a minute, but for now, enjoy this outfit I put together for church this past Sunday! It's super hot where I live, especially since it's summer now. If I'm being honest, I find it difficult to put together cute outfits in the summer because there is a limit to how much you can wear without suffocating. In the fall, if you want to make an outfit interesting, you add more layers. In the summer, you don't have that option! But I really liked the way this outfit came together. It was cute and put together, but kept me cool in the heat.

 

 

Alright, so you ready to learn about the unexpected part of this outfit? Drum roll please...

 

I'm wearing men's shorts!

 

I know, weird right? Funny story -- my brother bought these shorts, but they were too small for him, so he put them in our "get rid of" pile of clothes. I saw them laying there, and I got this crazy notion that they might fit me. I tried them on, and wonder of wonders, they fit! I'll admit that I was a little skeptical about wearing men's shorts, but I actually really like these! They add texture and polish to my outfit, and while I love denim shorts, denim just wouldn't have given my outfit the same "put together" look that these fancy shorts did. I have to tell you something about men's shorts though -- the pockets are incredibly deep! For girl's shorts, we have these tiny pockets that barely hold anything. Men's shorts have these vast abysses that hang down almost your entire thigh! I guess it makes sense though, because guys don't carry purses...

 

I hope you enjoyed reading this post, and I wish you a fantastic day!

P.S. Would you ever consider wearing something from the men's department?

8 Style Tips for Petite People

OK, people -- it's finally ready!

The video that I have been working on for about the past week is now uploaded and ready to be seen by the world! Katie M. asked for style advice geared towards more petite people, so I came up with eight tips for you to check out. I hope you find these helpful, Katie! I now proudly present to you my very first style advice video --

8 Style Tips for Petite People!

 

 

I tried to include some new features in this video, like annotations and a link, so I'm kind of excited about that. It took me a while to get it right, and it still isn't perfect, but it's the best I've got for now. I have to tell you though that these annotations will not show up on the video if you are watching on a tablet or mobile device. I don't understand why, but that it how YouTube has designed it. I tried to find a way to fix it by going to their "Help" section, but I only found that this lack of annotations is apparently normal on certain devices... So if you want to see the edits I made, please watch the above video on an actual computer.:P

I hope this video was enjoyable for you to watch. If it wasn't, and you have ideas about why that is, leave me a comment below with your input! If you did enjoy it, then leave a positive note for me. It would be greatly appreciated.:) If you aren't subscribed to our YouTube channel, then click the link and give us a follow! Our page is still under construction, but all of our videos from the blog are on there in one convenient place.

Thanks for watching!

Finished Shooting for the Day!

Hi, everyone!

I just finished shooting my first fashion advice video, geared toward those who are petite -- like Katie M., who asked for the advice.;) I have eight tips for you that I hope you will find helpful! I have to edit the video before I post it, but just know that the video is on its way. I'm planning on adding a couple little editing touches to this video, so we'll see how that goes. Keep an eye out!

Our First Q&A Video!

Hey, everybody!

 

So... Guess what? We now have our first Q&A video up! The first time we shot this video, it was over thirty minutes long. Way too long! So we reshot, and that second take is what you can watch below. We hope you enjoy it!

 

 

Katie M., as mentioned, I will be making a separate video to answer your style question. How cool is that -- you get an entire other video dedicated to you! If anybody has more questions for us (style or otherwise), leave them in the comments below, or shoot us an email at uniquelyyou4ever@gmail.com

Have a great day!

Apologies and Updates

Hi, everybody!

 

First of all, I just want to say I'm sorry for not posting in a few weeks. It's been pretty crazy as of late, and finals are upon us! I have completed two of my finals already, but my two biggest tests are next week. I'm spending the weekend studying, per usual (ugh).

But anyways, I just wanted to let you know that I have not forgotten about you, and I plan to post our first Q&A video as soon as possible. It will most likely be after finals, but there may be a slight chance it could be sooner... We'll see! Also, this morning Emma said that she has a post she wants to make, but I don't know when she will get to it. Just hang in there, and know we have things in the works.

 

Thanks for reading!
