Outfit of the Day

I have been absolutely horrible with updating this thing, my deepest apologies. This is the first post of 2013!!  I am going to make it a goal to update this blog a minimum of 3 times a month. We shall see if that goal actually gets met. Anyway, I can't even explain how excited I am for this year. It is going to be a year of hellos and goodbyes; a year of beginnings and ends. I end high school, and go into college. I say goodbye to all the people and places of this town I’ve become accustomed to over the past 6 years, and go on to start something new in MILWAUKEE! I don't think I've dropped the bomb on here yet, but I have committed to Marquette University, becoming a golden eagle!

So I got up this morning and was really looking for a blast from the past kind of outfit. I got this dress. I use the term dress lightly. As a very tall female this dress is just barely a booty covering shirt. Back to the topic, I got this dress from Heritage and it has been hanging in my closet for a while. I just had this nostalgic, old school, 1950s vibe going on in my head when I awoke, and went with it. I almost threw in some 1920s flair and added this cute little headscarf I got for Christmas. But alas, I opted for only one decade in this look. 

What I love about clothing and fashion is the transformative quality it possesses. With a simple change of attire you can become a completely different person. Fashion isn’t just clothing, and style isn’t just about looking nice. It’s about taking something as primitive as protection, and transforming these pieces into more than that. It’s an artwork, and I will never understand why people don’t get that. Anybody can look nice; anybody can put together an outfit that is color coordinated. However, it takes a keen eye and a talent to truly take the art a designer has created, mix it up, and transform it into your own.
