So, I get poked at a bit from "A" because I browse fashion blogs of little teenage fashionbloggernistas and I must admit, they are willing to put themselves out there and do anything. And I mean, any thing. Either they have more time, dedication, and narcissistic enough at that age to really try to discover their own selves. The outcome is this raw insight powered by their naivety and willingness to try everything new to be different. Aw, are they the darnest things? Another great aspect about the weird world of personal fashion blogs are all the DIYs of pieces that I can't or don't really want to pay for because it's just that simple.
A piece I covet and will make a DIY version of soon is the Pleasure Principle Shawl Dress. It's not a new concept to have one article of clothing transform into many. It's just like how fashion designers drape clothing on a form. I could argue that it's less thought out than a piece of clothing with one function, but who can ignore the fact that you can create this great shapes and silhouettes depending on your body shape?
It's worn so well by one of fashionbloggernistas that I follow, childhood flames, because she likes to play with her clothes and make it her own. (My only wish is that she combs her hair! Everything about her look is so well thought out and then, the HAIR! yikes!) Also she likes to limit the pieces she owns to make her closet more versitale and paired down to the bare essentials. I like that idealogy. More is not necessarily better, in her case. For me as well, since my new closet is tiny.
