as much as i want to write about this dress and the googley eyed gardner i won’t … but one word: awesome!

awesome

fashion, like the economy,  has kind of ran out of gas for the moment … and i think thats a good thing. the staples are still there, Prada, Hermes, Gucci, etc. but people are taking things into there own hands. meaning fashion has gotten off at the rest stop to drink a beer, pick some flowers, or get weird in the bathroom. my point is high fashion has collided with indie and biker has “rear-ended” metro … add the always fun co-pilot of do-it-yourself, and you have one hell of a road trip.

basically, people more and more are creating their own styles. both active like making a day out of thrift shopping and nordstroms rack to find the perfect ensemble for a night out that is both fun, funny, and creative, yet not afraid to be a little custom-y. and interactive, like outfits that leave the beholder a little something fun behind, such as some adhesive googley eyes on another unsuspecting outfit, glitter, or maybe a headband, scarf, or a bartenders fedora.

taking fashion into your own hands is less about being serious and more about having fun. maybe there is a silver lining to this shit economy – people just don’t give an F about the labels and are picking up metaphorical hitchhikers on their fashion adventures.
