Screw Follow The Leader
 |
When the entire fashion world seems to be veering toward hard lines, big shoulders, and studs galore, every inch of me is moving in the opposite direction. I want soft lines, flowy fabrics, and girlie details. That’s why through all the 80s style vintage jackets on Nasty Gal, I found myself clicking on an ever-bohemian crochet shawl.
Perhaps, this urge to be contrary is a latent rebellion from my mild-mannered and overall anticlimactic teenage years. Perhaps, I am simply tired of constantly following the new “it” trend. Perhaps, I just like the shawl. Does this mean I’m truly finding my personal style? Maybe, but I’ve always been slightly drawn to gypsy looking things. Though, I do think my strong leanings toward the kinder, gentler garments are simply my way of being contrary. I’m officially biting my thumb at the fashion machine. This rebellion still isn’t going to keep me from carrying my new DIY studded bag, though. I do love contrasting aesthetics! |
