sometimes i wonder if people think the same things about fashion as i do.. then i walk down the halls of UVU (which i really try and avoid unless i need to go to the bank on campus) and i know this isnt true. why did everyone flock to plaid? really... if its not you.. its not you. how is it that someone can be wearing thick threaded true religion jeans, button up shirts and alligator shoes one semester, and then skinny jeans, v necks and beanies the next? is that reasonable? i think maybe i just put too much emphasis on clothes. not necessarily the brand or expense of them (though i do like a good pair of jeans) but more of how they are worn. how someone wears their scarf can tell a lot about a person. for instance worn as a noose can mean several things, but its definitely more of a relaxed look saying "hey whats up, i have this scarf on.. but its not cause im cold, its cause im comfortable". it can also show that they know how to wear crap. wearing ones scarf in a triangle usually means they are trying to be super trendy-- and dont know how to work things correctly. lots of people wear scarves like this to activities like "neon" at studio 600 with their big frame glasses, neon skinny jeans and bright colored vans. real original. i admit i did this a few times, and i still do on nicer occasions with silk scarves, i think its ok in certain circumstances, you be the judge. but dudes just really shouldnt do that... ever. trust me. wearing a scarf without any knots or loops gives the impression that you just threw it on last minute with a laid back personality and somewhat carefree, which can be a good thing, but make sure its not too long. no ones likes avoiding tripping on your scarf while in a hurry (ahem)
now that i have ranted about scarves i think most of my anxiety is out.. i have very strong opinions about clothing choices and the wearing of such clothing. i dont want anyone thinking i think im the best dresser in the world, cause lets be real... im for sure not. i just think its important for people to be themselves while dressing themselves--if you like mock turtlenecks then wear them. work it for sure, but dont wear a plaid flannel shirt because all your friends are and forever 21 told you to. not everyone has to wear vans and beanies all the time.
thats all for now.. maybe one day ill talk about hollister, abercrombie and fitch, buckle, and ed hardy. but those will have to wait until the next time i walk down the hall of flags at uvu. im hoping its not till next semester.
perfect example. nobody is perfect. dont hate.

plaid is cool ali. i have a plaid vest, and i wear it to the mountains. i wear wolf shirts and stuff too. whatever, clothes are whatever throw something on. it's all about what you DO in those clothes. rep.
ReplyDeleteanna dont make me get pissed at you. im not dogging on all plaid, just when people wear it and they just wear it cause everyone does. you were wearing plaid back in 1990. dont worry about it. and only you can wear wolf shirts and pull it off. get real.
ReplyDeletehaha i was not even conceived yet in 1990. i wasn't born till 91 silly girl. but who's to say i wasn't wearing it, i'm not sure what i was wearing then really. probably a backwards hat. i'm actually wearing plaid in my kindergarten picture behind me, that was like 95 or something i don't know.
ReplyDeleteI hope I dont dress wrong in your head. I saw you just the other day at school. Did i do okay?
ReplyDeleteOh I love you and everything about you! Thank you thank you for posting this! Sometimes I feel dumb for dressing like a Saturday mom cause everyone else my age is wearing skinny jeans. But Eff it, sometimes I like wearing boot cut jeans with tennis shoes.
