Ridiculous Decadency
Darkbluerabbit:
That's a pretty good analogy for the fashion industry. I have a friend who looks at Vogue and raves about certain things and I just think that if I saw a person walking down the street wrapped in purple metallic gauze fastened with a belt made of real yeti hair or whatever the hell they decide is fashionable this season, I'd probably be really confused.
I actually made a (sort of) decadent purchase yesterday. I've decided that one clothing item worth spending a little more money on is bras. I went to a real lingerie shop instead of a department store, got an actual fitting, and walked away with the two most comfortable undergarments I've ever worn. I might be down 90 bucks, but it was totally worth it. I get most of my clothes from Goodwill or other secondhand stores, so for total clothing budget my average spending is pretty low. I refuse to buy undergarments from Goodwill. That just seems creepy.

I think you guys might just not "get" fashion. The people who do it well aren't the ones who follow the looks in Vogue or Elle or whatever. Firstly, those sell watered down two seasons old looks anyway, you'd be better off with Harpers. Second, well I can't explain it, so everyone go to this website.

It's just a guy who takes pictures of people he sees in the street who are dressed really well. I check it pretty regularly, because it is just fucking awesome. And people wearing stuff like this
Is basically art, in my mind. But it's art that every day, they get up and create. They wake up and put together something that works completely perfectly and they can feel good about it, and other people see it and say "oh shit look at that guys outfit" and that is just badass, I guess? I don't know how to explain it, really, but still.
Lines:
Yeah, the fashion design majors wear stuff like that every day. I'm kind of used to seeing those kind of clothes, but in a way that still makes me stop and think, "Huh, that's an interesting combination." But I wouldn't be able to wear a lot of that stuff without feeling really silly, because that's just not me, except for the last one (dress + funky colored flats) if I was going out.
Hat:
Holy shit, that blog is so good. I dress like a complete knob, myself, but still, that is neat.
öde:
Even though the guys typing words are complete cockbags I like looking at the vice magazine 'dos and don'ts' because they find some really funkily dressed people.
