I am not some crazy hippy that lives in a tree. I am in my early twenties. I was born and raised in Southern California. I currently am living in Los Angeles where I have lived the past five years. I am surrounded by people who drive themselves crazy trying to keep up with the latest trends. You have to have the right Jeans with the right amount of flare in the right shade of denim. I do not consider myself a fasionista by any means, but I still find myself trapped in the same game. I love L.A. and I love to spend a beautiful L.A. afternoon shopping with my girlfriends, but I am ready to give it up.
I am in graduate school and on a budget, but I can spend oodles of money in a single trip to target, buying things I didn’t realizes I needed until I saw them. I find myself roaming the aisles “for fun.” I end up browsing, but generally find something that I need to have. I will buy anything from household “essentials” to clothing and accessories. Generally I wear the clothes a few times and grow tired of them. I don’t feel too bad because I didn’t spend much on them. I buy new jeans a few times a year. The cost of designer Jeans is ridiculous. I spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of Sevens of True Religions (or whatever the latest and greatest brand is) only to find that I did not buy the right ones. The moment I spring for a pair of wide leg trousers, skinny jeans are on the top of the Hot list and wide leg trousers join clogs in the not column. By the way, I think clogs are making a comeback. Which bring me to my next point.
Fashion is recycled! Everyone has heard the saying. If this theory holds true, I should be able to pull the latest trends of the rack of a consignment store. We will see.
nooo clogs... nooo I abhor them, but yes agreed fashion is recycled. Remember accessories are important as well and can quickly update a look
ReplyDeleteand, you should learn how to sew! That'd help a lot too! I remember I like that one thrift shop in Austin that you took me to because they would alter clothing for you.
