We Aim To Slay

Hello and welcome to We Aim to Slay! As this is my first post, I thought I would take the time to explain myself and this blog. My name is, Taylor. I am (just recently) twenty-one (a moment of silence for every badass Virgo, please). I am a college senior, double majoring in journalism and literature.

Now, you may be confused as to why the name of this blog is “We” Aim to Slay if I’m the only person running it. “We” represents many things. Firstly, the fact that every single day is an opportunity for every single person to look amazing. Secondly, “we” represents the dichotomy of my sense of style, which varies greatly depending on my mood and other circumstances.

With that being said, what exactly does it mean to “slay”? Urban Dictionary defines “slay” to mean a number of things, such as “Something you tell someone when they look sexy as f***.” But this just leads to more questions, including, but not limited to, how do I know if I look sexy as f***? Let’s start simply; how do I define looking sexy?

As someone who has been competing in pageants for close to ten years, I find that my personal definition of “sexy” differs like the New England weather. When I want to look my pageant best, my hair is sleek (either stick straight or those wavy curls that everyone loves but not everyone, including myself, are able to achieve *sends a silent thank you to the universe for blessing me with a hair and makeup artist as a mother*), my heels are sky-high, and my outfit is almost always my favorite color: black.

But, I’m not just a pageant girl, I’m also a college senior. I’m the girl who skips the party to sit in my bed and devour a book. I am almost always in Converse, Birkenstocks or Dr. Martens. I require pockets or my day seems incomplete. I consume unnatural amounts of coffee, and I detest wearing makeup unless I must. The only consistency seems to be my love for black clothing.

The cool thing about fashion, is that there are no rules, and that’s a rule I follow religiously. Every single day is an opportunity to express yourself by wearing what ever the hell you want! So do exactly that. Just remember, some days I look great, other days I don’t. But everyday, I SLAY.
