Clothes. They are all around us, on us, begging us to purchase them , to make them our own. Clothes, due to the fact that they are everywhere are being taken for granted. Clothes; the one thing we can use to add to our identity. Clothes; it is how people of the world sweep their eyes over you and in one moment make a preconceived notion of who you are and what you like because of what you are wearing. Clothes; something simple has now become something completely complex in the miasma of culture.
For those of you who do not know me I am a highly complex creature ( I say creature as that is all humans are. pathetic, brilliant, genius, destructive, intelligent, amazing creatures). I love playing around with clothes, ripping them apart, adding studs, making eyelets, making them my own. I wear many different genres of clothing, punk,goth,prep,gypsy,hippie,granny,etc. It is do to this that some people have the audacity to call me a poseur.
Vocabulary lesson! A poseur is someone pretending to be something they are not.
I for instance would be a poseur if I was untrue to my eclectic clothing and music taste and stuck to only one genre, one facet of existence and behaviour schematic for the rest of my life. Thus I am not a poseur, I am an eccentric creature true to my nature.
Why people judge others by what they are wearing is beyond me. If it makes them happy and they are not hurting anyone ( such as those people who wear tights with nothing over top which is what tights were intended for and nothing underneath which makes us want to rip our eyes out of our sockets from seeing far too much for our comfort zone as you saunter on by us unexpectedly subjegating us to your physique when we want a relaxing java day outing of peace and tranquility) then leave them alone because they have more balls then you do for wearing what they like outside of the "norm".
Also what if that person who you think looks unfashionable and stupid for wandering around in loose comfy clothing, perhaps they are just having a comfy day, you in your pointed toe stiletto heels, pencil skirt, waist clincher et al are just jealous that you are not that comfy.
So this is the end of the pointless rant about clothes for now it is morning , I have yet to have my tea and as such am pretty much writing this half awake. Perhaps I shall add more at a later date.
Cheers to all you reading this :P .....p.s if you want to go clothes shopping the stores in west ed are still having amazing sales on! yay for 80% off hoodies and a new sweater for a mere 2.50$..... oh come on don't look at me like that ...I am the sale finder, I am only spreading the good news so everyone who realizes the clothes they bought last year no longer fit....do the world and yourself a favour...buy some new ones .....now ....and for really cheap!
