i’m attracted to things that i think are good-looking, and then if it’s comfortable i’ll buy it. if i like something an it is very uncomfortable, i won’t buy it ):
i don’t follow trends, but a lot of the things i like tend to be trends. however, i don’t stop wearing things just because the trend vanishes. for example, flannel. i was looking for a flannel for quite awhile, and found one at forever 21 finally, but before they were ‘in style’ or ‘scene’, or whatever. it was on sale in the men’s department, but i had to have it, and wore it like every day. a few months later, it was the new ‘cool’ thing, and everyone had these trendy flannel shirts, and i was kind of upset, but i don’t really care – i like it. people don’t wear them as much anymore, but i still wear them.
i shop everywhere. i go to target a lot, because it’s pretty reasonably priced, and it’s convenient. forever 21, too. they have a lot of variety. i feel like i’m going to see everyone in the shirt i just bought the next day though, but it doesn’t really matter. i go to this little vintage store that i am in loveee with too. and thrift stores! i love thrifting. and wal mart when i’m not exactly up to par in terms of morality. and i buy band shirts at shows on occasion. but really, anywhere.
i’m really interested in fashion. in fact, if the fashion business wasn’t so catty and everchanging and fast-paced – and of course, if i were more artistic – i would absolutely want to be a fashion designer. i think fashion is very interesting – the process, the way the street and the fashion community influence and feed off of eachother, etc. i love eccentricities in fashion – things on the runway that no one would ever wear in real life – but i also love street style, and how it differs place to place. i think what you wear has the potential to express your personality. of course this DEFINITELY isn’t always the case, but i like when people can/do.
