I am obsessed with Natalie's tutu skirt. Was just looking for one last night, actually! You've read my fashion mind.

And oxfords without the laces? Where has this style tip been all my life? Looks like I know what I'll be wearing today!

kindofwoman February 14, 2012 10:45 AM  

very excited to see the campus section! I find that I'm always struggling a little bit to find the right mix of not being overdressed and not wanting to look like I rolled out of bed 10 minutes ago :) Thanks! xo

Let the haters be your motivators, Sydney!

adrianne February 14, 2012 2:14 PM  

Just read the article. You are adorable. As a fellow blog writer I REALLY hope you dont let the terrible comments get to you, esp. on valentines day! Some people just feel the need to put others down to feel better about themselves {never understood how exactly that works?!} So sorry of their behalf. You are amazing and just keep doing what you are doing. And as for the person who said it like it was a bad thing that you are a blogging mom, thats insane. You and I both know what a blessing it is to blog, AND to be a mom!!!!! Happy vday!
<3,
Adri

Loved your article and thought it was a very creative approach. However, I was sadden by the comments. You are so talented and there are so many women who read your blog and appreciate every post. As a previous blogger commented, please do not let those comments get to you. Pray for the people that submitted the mean posts, I think they need it!

jessica February 14, 2012 2:24 PM  

Sydney! You are so creative! I always come here for style inspiration and I'm so happy for you that you are writing a column and getting to experience different things. I have a tulle skirt, it hits just below the knees but I love it! I saw a pin on Pinterest of a girl in a tulle skirt with a plaid button up and so now I want to put my lumber jack plaid with my tulle skirt! I just need some where to wear a fancy skirt! lol Always love the looks you come up with!

Running on Happiness February 14, 2012 2:33 PM  

Sydney, I'm saddened by some of the comments on this! I think you are the most inspirational style blogger on the internet. You are real, fresh and not afraid to take risks, which is why we all love you so much! You allow us to see outside of the box. Don't let people knock you!!!!

Char February 14, 2012 2:54 PM  

Great article! The pictures are beautiful! Your tutu skirt is just perfect! I love the pop of color in the necklace/bracelet!

I am IN LOVE with outfit #2 and desperately want a big ballerina-esque skirt to look half as good on me. *le sigh*

Syd, I Loved your post...while all those would NOT look good on this mamma..(me) I admire your style and your talent at being able to put anything together....
Please don't get down or change because of all those nasty commenters who are just jealous! keep doing what you love!

Leah February 14, 2012 9:56 PM  

Wow, those first two outfits made me scream like a little girl inside. Second outfit was perfect for PR, don't let people who didn't read the email scare you off. LOVED the tulle skirt and accessories, although I have to admit, I would have done a fancier top for a formal. You definitely got my fashion creative juices flowing, bravo! Don't let those who think fashion is rigid cramp yo style. You go girl!

I'm super bummed that many of the commenters were so mean. I thought you looked great. Plus, the article is called How Sydney Wears It for a reason, right?

Jenny Bodell February 15, 2012 5:49 PM  

Way to go! I love those looks! You are so creative!

Thank you for putting yourself out there, open for criticism as you inspire us to look fabulous every day. I love checking your blog for new ideas and love your style! Now to get me a skirt like look #3...

SAHM's unite! hahaha

Sarah-Anne February 16, 2012 8:29 AM  

off to read it now!

miss teacups. February 16, 2012 10:04 AM  

so i just went to read the article and i was absolutely shocked and amazed at how ruthless people can be on the internet. nobody had any right to put you down the way that they did...i think you did a wonderful job sydney and sure maybe you put together outfits that the typical *ahem* close minded person would not wear but that's why they asked YOU to write the article and not someone who would put together a typical outfit you see everyday.

thanks for putting yourself out there sydney, you're great!!

Jacie Larsen February 16, 2012 5:20 PM  

Syd,

Just wanted to say, like many others on here, that you are awesome!!

I hope that you recognize the talent you have and continue to keep doing your thing, despite what evil spirited others have to say.

Clearly they don't know how to handle a fresh, beautiful, mormon coming in and sweeping DC by surprise. :)
