Growing up a petite girl, I was told that I couldn't pull off oversized clothing. I was made to believe that boxy shirts, jackets, hoodies, and blazers will drown my frame. Now that I'm older, fashion rules are a thing of the past. I wear whatever I want. Probably one driving factor that would inspire me to try a different style or aesthetic would be when I see an interesting micro-trend on someone from Instagram.
Lately, I've been bookmarking almost all of Chelsea Valencia's outfits that feature oversized blazers! She knows the right pieces to balance the boxy silhouette of the blazer. Her looks are so effortlessly cool.
