I wouldn't call myself a style guru, but I like to think that I have some sense of style. Whenever I feel like I'm not digging my outfit, my boyfriend always comes to the rescue to make me feel better and confident. He offers some decent style advice, so I decided to see how he views me and my style. I asked him to dress me for a week, and I was fairly surprised with how it turned out!
For the week that he would dress me, I thought I would come up with some rules for Brian to stick to.
Rules
1. Style me Monday-Friday.2. You get full access to all my clothes and accessories.
3. I get to veto and change one item if I don't like how it looks with my outfit.
Seems easy enough, right? Before I continued with this, I wanted to ask Brian a few questions about what he thought of my style.
Questions
1. What's your take on my style?I think it's very simple, clean lines. I think you have really good choice in jewelry that adds a nice pop. It's usually very well put-together.
2. What is something I wear all the time?
Blue with white stripes.
3. What is something you wish I'd wear but don't?
I really don't know. I wouldn't change anything because you look fine the way you dress!
(cue audience *awwww*)
Alright, so let's get started!
A dark green and blue flannel shirt, jeans, brown combat boots, two bracelets, and a rain jacket because it was going to rain.
Brian's Initial Thoughts: I wanted to go for a professional look, but also comfort because the weather is going to be bad.
My Initial Thoughts: I'm always worried to wear something like this because I feel like it's too casual for work. People do wear pretty casual clothes to where we work, though, but I feel that I'm still pretty new and want to make a good impression.

My Conclusion: It was definitely a comfy outfit and something I would wear on a regular basis, so he knows what I generally go for.Brian's Conclusion: This outfit kind of worked out because it was really rainy this morning. I was shooting more towards practical rather than stylistic. You looked good!
Brian's Initial Thoughts: Since it's going to be rainy, I chose pants and flats that wouldn't get ruined in the rain. I wanted to go for a more professional and elegant look, so I went with a nicer top and necklace.
My Initial Thoughts: This is a nice, simple choice. I thought it would get cold in the office though, so I vetoed the maroon and navy cardigan for a denim jacket.

My Conclusion: This is a very cute outfit. I feel like I stepped out of a J. Crew catalog, tbh. My feet did get cold in the office, though, so maybe flats weren't a great choice.Brian's Conclusion: As a disclaimer, I was in a rush to pick out a cardigan or jacket this morning, so that's why it got vetoed. I think this outfit was a little more professional than yesterday, but still functional.
(Can you tell that I love coffee?)
Brian's Initial Thoughts: It's going to be cold and I wanted to pick colors that I'm not used to matching and wearing for myself.
My Initial Thoughts: I have totally worn this exact outfit before, minus the beanie. Actually, I've probably worn this to work before. At least he knows my taste?

My Conclusion: My feet were definitely warmer today (thanks to the boots and my fuzzy socks)! Even though I was sad that it was only Wednesday, I couldn't feel that sad because this outfit was cozy af.
(Where is my cup of coffee?! This picture seems incomplete.)
Brian's Initial Thoughts: I am unsure. I am not comfortable with the pants I selected.
My Initial Thoughts: I think he's not giving himself credit--I like this outfit! It's hard to go wrong when you're pairing black and white with a print.
- - - - - - - - - -
My Conclusion: I definitely think this outfit was a pretty good choice! But it further proves that I just shouldn't wear white because halfway through the day, I got a mysterious stain on my shirt.Brian's Conclusion: I wasn't confident in the outfit choice. I thought it looked good, but I don't know if I have the best taste.
Brian's Initial Thoughts: I don't know because I'm not used to dresses and dressing people in dresses. I think the colors work well personally because I like the green and copper colors, but I'm afraid you're going to think it's like a mix of baby food. And I just guessed on the boots and thought it didn't look too bad.
My Initial Thoughts: It's a lot of neutral colors, which I am completely fine with and comfortable in, so I think I'm going to like this outfit. I haven't worn tights in forever, so we'll see how that goes.

My Conclusion: I thought this outfit was a nice choice! Don't know if I would have picked it out for myself, but I liked it! Wish I would have switched out the tights for some thicker ones, though.Brian's Conclusion: I liked it! It was a little hard because I never had to work with those colors before because I don't have them in my personal palette.
Final Thoughts
Brian: It was kind of stressful because I wanted to make sure Bryn looked good but not boring. I didn't want to go for par outfits, either. I had fun overall, and it was cool to do. I don't think I touched nearly half the wardrobe, though. My favorite outfit was Friday's because I think it looked really nice. I think it was the one she wore the best.Me: I thought this was really fun to do! It was interesting to see what Brian would pick for me to wear. I would say my favorite outfit of this week was Tuesday's because it was well put-together. I kind of wished he would have been more adventurous with the jewelry, but he wasn't comfortable with it, so I didn't want to push him. Maybe now that he's gotten the hang of it a bit, I could convince him to do a Part 2? It was nice not having to worry about picking out clothes for this week.
