no more feeling like an outsider
So, the idea of this is to find some direction by just starting. I’m ready to live my Qadry Bradshaw dream. I needed something tangible so that I could start feeling a part of fashion. For some reason I have felt on the outside looking in. loving from a distance. I want to get away from the idea of feeling like i have to prove myself. Rian phin posed the question “who are you trying to signal to, and why” i still cant answer it. I don't know.
Designers that inspire me are maison margiela, raf simmons, rick owens and the Dsquared brothers. I love the idea of basics reimagined. I love the idea of luxury meaning wear and tear on great quality. I love the idea of “high low” meaning sweats with a leather jacket and cool sneakers paired with a button up and a trucker cap. Jordans with a suit and a denim jacket. I’m going to play with a propeller hat and sandals this summer.
This is me throwing things at the wall. I want to journal too but often find myself feeling lazy when it comes to actually writing things down. The involvement of my laptop feels chic lol. I often go back to read it and weep on disney channel. I was obsessed with her swivel laptop.. I wanted one so bad. Now that I'm thinking about it, I was obsessed with Carrie constantly typing on her laptop. & the laptop in Legally Blonde. Maybe there's a connection here somewhere.
When I think of fashion I think about how comfortable and safe clothes have made me feel over my years. I think about clutching unique garments and giving them a big hug. Fashion fashion fashion. It helped a sensitive kid feel confident. I love that I can dress for any mood that I'm in. I love that I've always had my own style, no matter how much I've grown to overthink it. I'm still me. The one who was voted most unique in the 8th grade. The one who was nominated for best dressed in high school. I should really give myself more credit. This is the start of that. I’m going to do my best to show this journey. I’m going to DO first and edit later.
