30 Day Experiment: Day 13, 14, 15, & 16

Day 13

Today, I felt the need to be a little sporty. In order to do so, I chose to wear a black running shirt. It is one of those shirts that is similar to Under Armour. A huge part of me really wanted to wear sweatpants, but none of the sweatpants that I owned matched the shirt. I could have changed the shirt, but it was so comfortable that I did not want to take it off. Instead, I wore jeans. I am starting to realize that I like dark colors. I think that I like dark colors right now because of the weather. To me, it seems fitting.

Stay in school!,

Day 14

Today is Valentine's Day. It's either a great day for couples or a terrible day for single people. I am lucky enough to be single because that means I do not have to buy anyone anything. Instead, I took myself shopping and bought this sweater! I decided to get trendyby adding one of my favorite scarves to my outfit. I like this outfit because it is plain and simple. It did not take me a while to put this together , so I was pretty pleased with myself! This picture is making me realize that I am a TERRIBLE model.

Day 15

Today is the last day of my teenage years! What better way to celebrate than in style! To say goodbye to teeny-bopper Andrew, I decided to put on the best ensemble that I have ever worn! The interesting thing about this outfit is that I played around with it so many times. I feel that I have worn four different outfits because I could arrange it in so many ways. 

The white shirt and orange jeans was very comfortable and simple. I then added a scarf to add more accents to my attire. I felt that it worked because all of the colors of my clothes seemed to complement each other. Next, I added a navy blue blazer. I have never worn it before, so I was treating the blazer with care. **Friendly tip==>When wearing a blazer, bring a lint roller because it will collect every speck of dust in the air.** 

Once my pre-birthday dinner came around, I decided to get a little formal. I changed from a t-shirt to a dress shirt and skinny tie. This has to be the best outfit I have ever worn because I looked and felt like I stepped out of the pages of GQ Magazine. 

P.S. Excuse the poses. My friend and I got a little carried away in our photo shoot.

Day 16

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! I am way too excited for Dance Marathon and my party tonight. It's going to be a blast. I do not feel different at all. I'm sure that I will feel different once I'm 21, but I only have 365 more days left! All I wore today was a black dress shirt and jeans. Nothing fancy. Nothing better go wrong today because I will not be a happy camper if someone or something ruins my special day. 

Be safe!,

30 Day Experiment: Day 10, 11 & 12

Day 10

If there is one thing I am truly proud of during this experiment, it is this outfit. I only say that because this outfit took me A FULL HOUR to prepare. I did not know what I was going to wear today, but I felt like being a little casual/formal. So, I scoured through my closet to find a dress shirt that I have worn only once in my life. I ddecided to choose khaki pants because I thought that it went well with the shirt I picked out. When I put both pieces of clothes on, it did not seem complete. So after about 15 minutes of going through my drawers, I found a blue sweater hidden underneath all of my clothes. After putting my sweater on top of my shirt, my neck seemed a little bit incomplete. So I decided to try putting a black tie on. Once I did that, I thought it was one of the weirdest looks I have ever tried.

So, I ditched the black and went with a silver tie. My outfit immediately went from a 4 to a 10! After putting my ensemble together, I realized that every piece of clothing was wrinkled. I spent about 25-30 minutes ironing all of those clothes. Boy did that test my patience! But, it was worth it in the end because my outfit turned out very well. I deserve a pat on the back :)

K bye,
Andrew Kunz

Day 11

Today was the start of my Birthweek. Yes. I said BirthWEEK. This is the only time out of the year where I get to act like a total prick and be okay with it. So, to begin my birthweek, I wore my snazziest outfit to to date. I put on a white dress shirt and covered with with an electric blue cable-knit sweater. I accented the outfit with dark jeans and grey shoes. I like this outfit SO MUCH because the sweater is my favorite color. Plus, I think that this outfit complements my skin because light, vibrant colors go well with darker skin. There were many people throughout the day complimenting my style.

I met someone new today, who happens to be a fashion major, and we had an interesting conversation. She said that if you are going to be a fashion major (or have something to do with the fashion industry), the you have to look the part. I completely agreed with her because the fashion industry is all about looks. Overall, I would say that this outfit gave me a boost of confidence!

Smurf-tastic!,

Day 12

The weather was not too bad outside. It was very sunny and bright. Since the weather put me in a good mood, I decided to debut a never-before-worm jacket! I call it my One Direction jacket because it looks like something the members of One Direction would wear (plus, they are my favorite band...don't judge me). My outfit was pretty monotone and simplistic, but I thought the jacket was very nice.

I also had a chapter meeting for my fraternity today. A few hours before the meeting, I got a memo saying that the attire was business casual. I was freaking out because I did not want to hassle to find a new outfit! It stresses me out when I HAVE to change. Anyways, I pulled out my special Calvin Klein ensemble. I got this outfit this past summer for my godson's baptism. I love this outfit so much! If there were a fire, I would grab this outfit before I head for the door. This outfit makes me feel like a model, so my friends and I hit up downtown Muncie and took a one second photoshoot. The real reason why I was in downtown Muncie was because my friends and I had to do community service, but that is besides the point.

Pose for the camera, click, click.

30 Day Experiment: Day 7, 8, & 9

Day 7

As I scoured my closet, I tried to find something that I haven't worn in a long time. I thought it was difficult because I have worn everything in my closet at least once. Deep in the back of the plethora of clothes, I found a teal and black checkered shirt that I purchased from Plato's Closet. I wore the shirt with light-washed skinny jeans and black sneakers. In my opinion, I thought that I had the "skater" look. Then again, that's just my opinion. To match my attire with the cold weather, I wrapped my favorite scarf around my neck. I thought that took my look from "skater" to "trendy." When I did this, I realized that one piece of clothing can change and define your whole look. This made me concious about everything in my future ensembles. Lesson learned.

Day 8

Today is Friday. I wanted to make sure that my outfit was cool, yet confortable. So, I wore a Merino wool sweater from H&M and dark-washed jeans. I think that this outfit is a very well-complimented ensemble because the texture on teh sweater really stands out. Having the bottom half of my body decked in dark colors really helped as well. I love this sweater so much because it fits me prefectly. My friends took an embarrasing picture of me when I was not looking and the picture looked like I had man boobs. My friends said they were my pectoral muscles, but I refused to believe that because I am super skinny. Whatever. It's a compliment.

Shine bright like a diamond,

Day 9

Today was a show day! So, that meant that I had to take my color guard to a competition. Everytime I go to a show, I noticed that all of the directors and staff dressed very casually, but also put a trendy, and sometimes formal, twist to their outfits. For this show, I decided to go preppy. I wore an Abercrombie shirt, khaki pants, and Sperry's. If that doesn't scream prep, then I don't know what does. Was this my favorite outfit? No. The only reason why I say that is because it is kind of uncomfortable. One of the biggest factors in me choosing an outfit is comfort. As a college student, I like to get dressed for comfort. As a fashion major, I like to dress to impress. Sometimes, you just gotta give. 

Keep calm and carry on,

Andrew Kunz

30 Day Experiment: Day 5 & 6

Day 5

I woke up today in a bad mood. I have no idea why I was in a bad mood. Due to the fact that I was in a bad mood, it seemed as if EVERYTHING pissed me off. So I tried to put a brighter ensemble for my outfit. I was thinking about going fluorescent, but I thought that was a little too much for winter. Instead, I chose to wear a beige dress shirt, light-washed jeans, and an old pair of Puma's.

I likedthis outfit becasue it was simple, yet trendy. I received four compliments on my shirt! All of them said that my shirt made me look like I was going on a safari. Ironically enough, I am using Safari, the web browser, right now. I am probably the only one who will think that is funny. Whatever.

Exhausted face,

Day 6

Today was a better day than yesterday. Although it was stressful due to the two tests I had, everything was just dandy! Today brought up a fashion challenge: wearing my fraternity letters. I wore a forest green sweater that was given to us for a philanthropy event earlier in the year. I added a North Face scarf that I inherited from my grandfather to make my outfit really stand out. I have worn this outfit before, but with sweats. So, I decided to ditch the sweats and replace them with dark-wash jeans.

I really enjoyed this outfit because the color tones really worked well together. My scarf stood out, which is exactly what I expected because I wanted my outfit to emphasize the design of the scarf. I wore light-colored sneakers because I needed a piece of clothing that balanced the colors. I did not want my outfit to be all dark. I wanted it to be well-balanced. To add to the outfit, I wore my H&M glasses.

P.S. I really enjoy this picture. It screams GQ to me.

Winky face,

30 Day Experiment: Day 4

Due to the loss of the 49ers at the Super Bowl this year, I had to show my depression by dressing in dark colors. I woke up in a very angry mood because they lost. I never thought that I would see the day that I would be sad over a football team's loss. On a brighter note, Beyonce's halftime performance was phenomenal! That is probably the only thing that put a smile on my face.

Even Beyonce's bootylicious performance and the reunion of Destiny's Child couldn't get me out of the rut I was in this morning. I may have been gloomy for the whole day, but that didn't stop me from watching what I was wearing. Since I decided to go "dark" today, I wore a black shirt, dark was jeans, and black Puma's. I would have to say that my ensemble put a smile on my face (even though the thought of the 49ers' loss was still in the back of my mind). This outfit is making me realize that I should purchase more darker-toned clothes.

Attempted smiley face,

30 Day Experiment: Day 2 & 3

Day 2:

I had work today, which means that I have to get physically active. All in all, I dressed like a bum (aka "the normal college student"). I decided to dress in sweats and a tshirt. Since I had to stretch, workout, and dance all day, I saw no need to get all fancy. I did have the option to go out at night, butI decided to take a personal night and do nothing. I told myself that I was going to do homework and what not, but I lied.

Day 3:

Today, it's the Super Bowl! Born in the Bay Area, I am inclined towards the 49ers. A lot of my friends here are Ravens fans, but I could highly care less about them. The only Raven that I care about is Raven Symone ("That's So Raven"). Last I heard, she was doing Broadway. Sorry, I'm getting off track. Anyways, as a 49ers fan, I decided to wear my personalized 49ers jersey. Out of the kindness of their own hearts, my brother and his girlfriend decided to buy me a personalized jersey. It's one of the nicest things that I have ever gotten! I am in love with it! :)

It is quite difficult to be "fashionable" and "trendy" with a jersey. So, I decided to go with a slightly "sporty" look. I wore light-washed jeans and tennis shoes along with my 49ers jersey. This may not be a well-thought-out ensemble, but it works. I find it surprisingly comfortable!

P.S. Go 49ers!...and Beyonce! I think I might be more excited to see Beyonce than the 49ers.

30 Day Experiment: Day 1

For my 30 day experiment, I have chosen to wear a different outfit everyday. No, this does not mean that I will be purchasing 30 different outfits. Ain't nobody got time for that; especially, as a broke college student. I chose to do this as my experiment because I want to find my own style and see if I can broaden my style by altering and trying on different outfits. 

For my "first day" outfit, I went a little on the trendy side. I chose to wear an H&M sweater, dark jeans also from H&M, and Sperry's. I thought that putting a light beige sweater would be appropriate for the weather conditions. It was cold as hell outside, so wearing a sweater seemed fitting. The dark jeans complimented the sweater and made the color of stand out. I chose to wear my blue Sperry's because I wanted the bottom half of my body to have similar shades of color. 

Overall, I got seven compliments on my outfit today (three of the compliments were from fashion majors)! Whenever I got a compliment, it was mostly about my sweater. Either way, a compliment is a compliment. However, I did receive a negative critique on my outfit. One of the RA's in my dorm told me that my sweater looked feminine. I wasn't offended by the fact that he didn't like it, I was offended by the fact he said it was feminine. In no way did I find it FEMININE when I bought it from the MEN'S section at the store. #confused. Whatever, he was dressed like a bum. He was just jealous. #hater

P.S. I know I'm not a model, so feel free to say what you want about that.
