Combat boots, Lilly Pulitzer, tattoos, and bows. None of those things seem to fit together in theory. However with some experimentation I have found that indeed they can. I have always been inclined towards the preppy side of things, from a young age my mother dressed me in adorable clothing that definitely influenced my adult wardrobe. Over the years I had been drawn to pieces of fashion that were a bit more edgy and I was completely inclined to try them. I had an internal struggle with this because even though I absolutely adored these pieces I felt like I was cheating on my preppy side. It took a long while but I am here to say that both styles can coexist peacefully.
You can find the backstory behind how the title of my blog came to be by looking in the about me section. It is basically the story of how I came to acquire my tattoos. I think that tattoos are incredibly meaningful and can truly be classic and beautiful on anyone regardless of their personal style.
The first tattoo I had done represents my commitment to theatre. When you look at it the font is backwards so it reads correctly in the mirror. I did this because when you are reading a play or musical for the first time you have to look at it multiple times and in different ways to truly understand what it is trying to say. It is also a tribute to one of my favorite plays entitled "Play" by Samuel Beckett
The second tattoo I got was one that I had planned for many years. I got the tattoo in memory of my
Grandpa who passed away in 2006. We were incredibly close when he was alive and I miss him everyday. My Grandpa was a massive Beatles fan and that inspired the tattoo.
This picture was taken about an hour after I had it done so it was a bit irritated still.
Thanks for reading! Let me know your opinions on tattoos!
