You Look Like Trash. I Can’t Lie. Talk Some Shit And You’ll Get Hit!
I was watching E! News today, and one of their featured stories was Ashlee Simpson’s ever-changing style. From blonde, to brunette, to black, to blonde again, to red, her hair is not the only thing that keeps changing. From a nose job and some collagen in the lips, to couture Chanel and ripped Ed Hardy t-shirts, she’s all over the board. You can even hear it in her music. While her debut album “Pieces of Me” was composed of mostly main stream pop hits, her most recent song, “Get Outta My Head” is electro-synthpop, 80’s inspired single, that really shows the development and range of her music, as well as her personality. (Can you tell I’m an Ashlee Simpson fan?)
Celebrity stylists say that’s really important to always have an evolving image that’s constantly adapting to current fashion trends and designers. I personally think that it’s imperative to always keep up with not only the use of color and pattern in designs, but also new and upcoming designers. It’s the only way to be a trendy hipster, like myself.
I was called chic this morning, and I’m certain that it is one of the best compliments I have ever received. I find that celebrity stylist and designer Christian Siriano, winner of Project Runway Season Four, best reflects my style. He’s 21, has a fierce asymmetrical hair cut, and a trendy New York style that focuses on fitted pieces, bold colors, clean lines, and a clever sense of flair and detail, that many other designers don’t dare to attempt. To put it frankly, he’s the style icon that I fashion myself after.
It’s also really important to have a large selection in your boudoir. I personally have all sorts of clothing, ranging from extensive baggy hip-hop attire, Abercrombie and Fitch Polo’s and Bermuda shorts, to sleek black vests, button ups, producer pants, even bright violets and cerulean tops from American Apparel. A lot of people out there make the mistake of not being versatile enough. I find that you need to try new things and be open- minded, in all aspects of life. Not only when referring to your wardrobe.
I was at a party last night, where I was looking fierce, if I do say so myself. Jeff said my make up was flawless; I was sporting a long sleeved army green thermal designed by Morphine, a fitted black military jacket, snug gray straight leg skinny jeans by Lacoste, and black faux fur Uggs. It was a fun outfit that I like to wear on chilly winter evenings. Unfortunately, the heterosexual swarm of men that plagued the party with baggy Jnco’s, and Etnies skater shoes, didn’t have the same appreciation for style as I did.
Just by studying the reactions that would flit across their faces as I walked by, told me a million and one things about them. I didn’t even have to look at their girlfriend’s faces to know who their style icons were. Branded with Playboy logos, crudely ripped jeans, and an expression to match, they were the epitome of people I would choose to not associate myself with. They were tragedy in all aspects. I don’t want to hate on these people or anything, but can I not when they choose to hate on me? They don’t even care that they look like a potato sack with a faded bunny logo on it.
It’s just interesting that I live in a community, where not only do people care less about how they present themselves to new people, but they reprimand and chastise someone that really takes the time and effort to make a good first impression. Unfortunately we live in a society where the first impression you make on them is when you see them for the first time. Just take a moment to yourself and think,” How do I communicate who I am, by the clothes on my back, and expression on my face?”
In fashion magazines all over the world, there are the best dressed and the worst dressed celebrities. Celebrities make a fashion faux-pas all the time. The difference between them, and the people at this party last night (other the obvious), was that they always have a brilliant welcoming smile. I just think that if you are going to judge other people, you should not only look in a mirror first, but you should hide it a little better on your face.
