One thing I haven't mentioned in this blog yet is the fashion show I'm going to be a part of in like next week. Throughout this whole semester, I've been attending meetings every Tuesday in order to help out with the show we are planning to put out a week from now. I've been trying my best to do my part to each meeting by giving out suggestions and by trying to get other people to take an interest in fashion. I even made one of the flyers for our show!
Until about a year ago, I wouldn't have been able to tell you that I even had a slight interest in fashion culture. I mostly only looked at fashion as a way to categorize people based around their social interests (music, archetypes, etc). The two main factors of this newfound interest in fashion for me were 4chan and the twee subculture. And then the website that kept my interest intact was lookbook.nu which you should totally check out right now. Seriously, it's good! I'm jealous of those people.
I will say this. Ever since I started looking through all of these fashion websites, I've started judging people based on their taste in clothing. Appearance goes a long way. To me, the effort people put into "their look" reflects their personality and image; and not so much as to the occasion. I know. I'm weird.

I wish I had my 2nd roommate's wardrobe. She dresses her best EVERY day. But I suppose it's because she majors in fashion design.
ReplyDeleteI would dress better but I have a lack of decent clothes (many of them don't fit anymore since I lost about 50 lbs. in a span of 3 years, no joke) and I'm poor. I try my best though. Makeup is another story, I just put on moisturizer + foundation and call it a day. lolz
Have you considered going to Goodwill or other thrift shops around here in Muncie? Second hand stores here in Muncie are very good as far as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteThere's plenty of options on what to do with clothing. You could make a vest out of a shirt, make pants into backpacks, you just have to put the effort into making it.
Wow, I lost around 30 pounds since high school, but that's not so much. And I also have face problems (acne), but never bother to take the time to apply the products to get rid of the acne.
