I Dressed Like My Favorite Style Icons to Get Out Of My Fashion Funk

Welcome to I Tried It Month, where we’ll be publishing a new fashion, beauty, or wellness article every day in January that features a first-person account of shaking up an old habit, pushing beyond

a comfort zone, or simply trying something new. Follow along for 31 days of storytelling, including everything from going without a cellphone for 40 days to trying the polarizing low-rise pants trend. 

I think I've established here clear enough that I have an avid love for pop-culture. Whether it's the latest music trend to blow up on TikTok (Have you listened to Driver's License by Olivia Rodrigo yet? If not, please do) or the cool TV show that everyone is watching (Hi, Bridgerton) I like to keep tabs on it all. Some may say I have issues, I like to think it's just a hidden talent. What many may not know is that my love of pop-culture also stems from my love of fashion, because it's no secret that there's a variety of stars and fictional characters that bring on the style game that people remember forever. 

In high school, I loved saving scenes from my favorite shows and movies to recreate their looks to wear. (I was extra, I know.) Since 2020 has left me still in quite a bit of a fashion slump, I thought I'd go back to my roots and mimic outfits from different style icons with what I own in my wardrobe. It can be easy to fall into a routine of wearing similar items, so trying to play with different characters style definitely helped me remember what I loved about clothes and styling in the first place.
