Dramallama
So I've had a lot of success with shopping and clothing. Beverly has nearly finished one of my dresses we bought materials to make. I'm nearly ready for school. I'm trying to hunt down a decent cobbler to alter my new boots to fit. The one I stopped by today wasn't open. Hooray. o.o;
In the mean time I'm sill browsing fashion sites looking for inspiration.. which just leads me to looking for BRANDO.. er i mean, "designer label" stuff. I have access to about mid-range products at marty and liz's and extremely cheap.. better than walmart clothing, at Rugged Warehouse but when it comes to Louboutin, Chanel, Prada, etc... It's all extremely unattainable. I COULD blow my college refund (money i got from pell grant).. but I'm not.. I'm being responsible and saving it. *sigh*
I have a taste for expensive things, especially shoes. I want to devote a closet to shoes. I think this mostly stems from spending so much time hating clothing when I was younger because 90s childrens/teen fashion was dismal at best.. that it's all catching up and I'm feeling immersed in wanting to learn how to create artistically pleasing outfits that flatter myself.
It also has a lot to do with my self image. I have pretty poor self esteem on an average day and if putting on a pair of heeled boots is what gives me that extra oompf to get me through the day, then I'm damn well going to wear myself a cute pair of boots. I'm never pleased with my height or weight or hair color.. but shoes.. shoes always fit. At least, it's possible to find a cute shoe that fits and makes me happy.. after spending all day trying on pants and skirts that never fit in the length or butt or hips or whatever and shirts that drape on my lack of chest... but shoes.. shoes work on my skinny ankles and pretty narrow feet.
The dramallama in me craves for high quality. I've gone from storebrand sneakers to keds to chuck taylors to store brand heels to now mid-range quality heels. Quality is something lacking in the mass produced days of the 2000s, and finding a piece of fashion with quality AND affordability is extremely important. I'm hunting. I'm hunting everywhere to learn all the secrets and discounts. I would never pay retail price when I can something the same or even better for less.
Anyway this isn't really going anywhere except to complain into my journal that, no you really don't need couture shoes right now (maybe someday), you need a house and a job and maybe some dinner, but no, just keep the $600 pair of heels out of your mind.
