Why I Tackled Fendi Styling This Week
Honestly? Saw this influencer flashing that double F logo everywhere while I was eating cereal Monday morning. Got me thinking – I own exactly one pre-loved Fendi belt from 2018 collecting dust. Time to actually use it without looking like trying too hard.
Step 1: Raiding My Own Closet
Dug through my wardrobe like an archaeologist. Pulled out:
- That black Fendi belt buried under scarves
- A beige cotton tank top I wear for groceries
- My boyfriend’s oversized denim jacket from H&M
- Those wide-leg trousers I almost donated last month
Laid everything on my bed thinking: “This ain’t matching AT ALL.” Almost quit right there.
Playing Dress-Up Like a Kindergartener
Tried four combinations before lunch:
- Tank + trousers + belt: Looked like corporate jail. Trashed immediately.
- Jacket + tank + belt: Better but too much denim bulk. Felt like a cowboy.
- Just tank + belt + trousers: Boring but clean. Decent for quick coffee runs maybe?
Got frustrated and almost wore sweatpants instead. Then remembered that off-white tote bag my sister gave me last Christmas.
The Magic Sauce Moment
Threw the tote into combo #3 last minute. Suddenly looked intentionally messy instead of lazy. Rolled the trouser cuffs once. Unbuttoned the jacket halfway. Belt slightly off-center. Boom – that “I woke up like this” Fendi vibe without paying rent for the logo.
What Actually Works Daily
Tried this Frankenstein outfit three days straight:
- Tuesday at supermarket: Got asked about the belt by cashier (win!)
- Thursday coffee date: Spilled latte on trousers (epic fail but hid with tote)
- Today working from home: Jacket draped on chair for Zoom calls
Learned you only need one signature piece. Everything else? Literally things you already own.
Epic Fail & Final Win
Attempted a “model-off-duty” look yesterday with sunnies and all. Tripped on pavement near bus stop. Scuffed my sneakers BUT learned: Good style shouldn’t make you wobble. Now I keep the fancy belt for days I’m not rushing. Simple wins!
