fashion
I've never much been one for fashion trends. I often find myself too early or too late, but to be perfectly honest i dont really care. I havent always been like this. I have hidden in what is closer to what everyone else is wearing in the past but there has always been something "Amber" about the way i dress. I am not you know one of those cutting edge deliberatly going against the norm for the sake of being "different" but i just you know i like what i like. I can still be "trendy" if i so choose, like the tights under short skirts ala the 80's, but as discussed with Ruby, this is actually quite practical. I buy alot of my shoes on the internet and quiet a bit of clothing too, just so i dont have the same thing that everyone else who shops and the cheap chain stores does.
I am less and less worried about not "fitting in" coz i am not wearing the correct clothes and i mean i guess it was bound to happen coz i am 25 and all now, you now bigger fish to fry and all, but it is still something that i had struggled with in my personal insecurities. I would buy things i liked and they would sit in my cupboard, tags still attatched till i either wore them to a fancy dress party or threw them out.
Not anymore! And i dont care anymore. People can say what they like, i will wear what i want, and what i feel comfortable in. So today i have a skirt that have about every colour on the rainbow on it and the pattern has girls, wearing dresses and pants and skirts and hats and all sorts of wonderful things in many many colours. I have teamed this with a white shirt and black cincher, and its a real cincher, laced up, bones the whole lot and my red mary janes, because there is nothing like a pair of red shoes to make a gal feel hot!!!
The moral of this post is that i think i am going to start making my own clothes. Mum has a sewing machine and when i was little i used to sew all the time, i made outfits for birthday parties and all sorts of stuff. And even as i got a bit older in high school i made bags and things. i think its time i cracked out the old machine and got some funky material and made stuff i want to wear!
