So I'm not a very personal sort of blogger, I like to stick to the fashion side of things but today personal and fashion fit together.
Today at my school it was non-uniform day; when we pay £1 to wear our own clothes rather than our uniform.
Like most fashionista's, I had no clue what to wear but was inspired by a recently read book to opt for a punk rocker look which immediately sent me into a frenzy, digging out my PVC trousers and Dr Martens and a quick trip to topshop has never hurt anyone? Picking up a new pair of 'spikey' earrings my outfit pulled nicely together with a checkered shirt on top of my DKNY top and denim jacket to keep me warm.
I always opt for minimum makeup but I did add a little but extra mascara ;)
On arriving to school I could see people staring at my legs, people were even pointing, and then came the questions 'are you wearing leather trousers?' of course I replied 'No. I'm not, they are fake leather and I'm a vegetarian.' That shut them up [for the time being]
I'm not a very confident person and usually I would go bright red if people were pointing and staring but today, I found a new confidence. I was proud not to be wearing jeans, tracksuits and chino's like every one else. I have nothing against jeans; denim defines fashion. Chino and tracksuits are comfy, but really do you want to look like 90% of everyone else wearing everything similar?
I'm proud to call my self a fashionista, I know that grunge glamour and colour blocking are 'in' its a shame that people ignored that and instead turned what is my natural style in to a laugh!
I read style rookie a lot and she has mentioned people chuckling at her outfits; that says something for me.
Fashion is increasingly stating 'be unique' which I thin is great but is society ready to accept this?
At this point I would like to say that this is not a rant , I'm stating how being you is important and that being manipulated by everyone else isn't a good quality to have.
