Guess the Blogger Pose: Walking on a Dream

dress: Urban 1972, shoes: Chris Benz x Alejandro Ingelmo, purse: Valentino, hat: Pendleton, sunglasses: Prada

Today’s installment of Guess the Blogger Pose actually stays true to its name and actually begs that you guess this blogger pose. While sticking to what I say I will do and actually doing it seems a departure but my typical behavior, some things haven’t changed: as per usual, the installments been shot by Naomi and features photos of me. One more twist though: I’m walking.

And walking… 

And…well…what do you know, still walking! Without having to say much else, do you think you can guess this blogger pose? Before I reveal the answer, I think right now is as good a time as any to share a small anecdote directly related to the outfit in question. 

Upon exiting my building to have these photos taken, I fell into the proverbial laps of several different recognizable faces. It was like walking down deaths row–see what I did just there, cue my title–but better. First, my doorman looked at me, looked away, looked at me again and remarked: “Miss Repella! Where you going looking like that?” I laughed and continued on until I came across three boys, all brothers, the children of my mother’s close friend. One is ten years old. He’s never spoken a word to me despite my incessant requests nearly every family gathering for hugs, kisses, a high five and maybe a chance to play Wii with him. On this day however, he followed his older brother’s lead, who shook his head when he looked at me and then finally remarked, “you look so weird.” 

It was a grand mission repelled.

Great! Now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk answers. Have you an idea? How about now? Come on. This is an easy one. Fine, I’ll just tell you…


And while there is no denying that home girl has got some serious style up her tailored sleeve…
 
And a penchant for neon…one not unlike my own…
 
I just want to know… 
 
Where are you always going, Carolina?
 
…And can I come with you?
Come on, please? I always look both ways before crossing the street.
