Disclaimer: I use the term “rockstar” very loosely. In my case, it implies the nervous jitters before practice. A long battle with my inner-critic about every song I decide to present to the guys. And butterflies over ANY imaginary future show that hasn’t-even-been-booked-yet. See? My heart is pounding just typing out that last sentence.

This is a purely selfish post on my part, but a lot of you are keenly more fashionable than I am–and I’ve just stuck my toe in the unfamiliar worlds of “entertainment” and “performance” and y’all know there’s a visual element to all this…..  And I intend to use your knowledge to my fullest advantage. At least I’m honest about this, right?

So, how should I dress for this lead-singer-in-a-rockband scenario? If you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m a t-shirt/jeans kind of girl. I LOVE denim. And boots. slouchy cowboy boots. slick black knee-length boots. *not* army boots. ew.

I like accessories, but earrings make my lobes itch (Don’t ask me why the nose ring doesn’t make my nostril itch)…. Big rings, bracelets, scarves, hats (yum!), etc.

And I like layers.

And dark colors: blacks & grays.

But I have no money. (Typical for a “rockstar,” I’m learning)

I’m not too crazy about getting dolled up, either. The musician-in-me loses her edge when she’s in a dress. And, with our style of music, we can’t have that. Soooooooo…..

Help? Images? DIY rockstar-look videos? Articles? Fashion blogs? Magazine clippings? Links to Target’s jewelry/accessories? Anything you got?

My heart’s still pounding. Maybe it’s the coffee.
