Fashion

Let me start off by saying, this isn't (and probably will never be) a fashion blog. I'm afraid I just wasn't born with that gene. My sister was, that enough for one household to handle! But I think about Fashion quite alot! I mean what is Fashion, it has evolved though the years, you go back to the 1900s and it changed by the decade, you type in 1920s you get quite a similar dress sense that entire decade, same throughout up until.. Now! Where it changes (seemingly) every hour. I don't have the time or patience for something that ever changing.


And when people say after a few years 'Oh I can't believe I wore that!!!' . . I can because it was the Fashion. Of course you wore it! All the shops were selling it at the time! Everyone wore it. That's why everyone's school disco pictures look exactly the same!


I probably wore it!


But then my dress send changed when I hit year 8... The last year of middle school. I found my mums old long black cardigan! And suddenly ... GOTH! Yes I was mega Goth, my underwear draw was Black, my wardrobe was Blaaaack. I was called satan, freak, both, emo ... Etc.


But I loved it, it wasn't unique, it was black it was just ... Black. I felt like I wasn't seen when I wore it. But I was. Of course I was. I was a target because I wore Black and liked rock music. Blah blah blah I was bullied, whatever.


I'm in no way condoning bullying. But it happened, it's my past. Can't change it, wouldn't if I could.


But my dress sense changed suddenly... I stopped wearing so much black, I still like rock to most music but I do like other music. I don't follow a certain fashion. But if it was to be categorized it would probably be 90s, jeans, trainers, t-shirt with a slogan or picture and a flannel shirt and my hair always up! And that's me. I like it.
Not to say I don't occasionally wear other things but it is mostly that. I suppose its a confidence issue at the end of the day but that's by the by. I'm a bigger girl. Simple as that.


I do like Fashion this day an age though, it's not just one thing for a decade, its everything! I love seeing girls and guys in all different styles and fashions. Its amazing even seeing outfits making a come back from different decades. Its an evolution of fashion right outside our windows. We don't have to stick to one style or another because there are hundreds upon hundreds of different ways to express yourself. To show your personality through an outfit!


As I've said, I'm not a fashionista or a style icon bit who is nowadays!


Take Care.
