A Memorable Shoot
When I left Jamaica to spend some time in the US, I was not anticipating remaining very long and so I did not pack a lot of clothing. This created quite the predicament and so I headed the Orlando Millenia Mall to do some much needed shopping.
I wanted to try some unconventional looks for myself, I wanted to sport things that I have never really worn before. I headed to Forever 21 and did some looking around and assembled all the looks you will see from this post from what I picked up at Forever 21. Shopping at Forever 21 in a pandemic was interesting. All the dressing rooms have been closed and so no try ons are permitted. It was busier that I expected. Several young women were there looking for their fits. I am still getting accustomed to the largeness of American stores and the fast pace of American culture.
After assembling the clothes I did a little shoot around my neighboring community. I was going for a vintage, distressed rock and roll sort of feel. Hopefully that was accomplished! It was super fun to do and very different from my usual attire. Everything was bought from the physical store of Forever 21 at the Millenia Mall!
Here’s a breakdown of the fit! All clothes are linked to the Forever 21 website!
Fedora Hat (the hat linked is not the same exact Fedora Hat)
“The Offspring” White Tee (again the website does not have the actual shirt from the physical store and so I linked an alternative cost and design wise)
The Offspring, I discovered, is an actual band. I never knew of them before purchasing this shirt. Not that I am not a rock/punk fan. I have listened to Green Day and Avril Lavigne. As the design of the shirt suggested and as I have alluded to it is a rock and roll band. If you are unaccustomed to that type of music, maybe check it out! You may find some songs you like! I thought the Kids Aren’t Alright by the Offspring was pretty poignant lyric wise.
These jeans are very comfortable with it’s baggy-ness. Mine are slightly large but I actually like the look of it baggy. The jeans are also very flattering for the waistline as well.
Converse sneakers (bought at another store elsewhere)
Well, that’s it! What do you think about this look? Would you wear something that you usually do not wear? Let me know in the comments below
