Fashion Weak?(Pun intended)

This somehow escaped me, but as usual the internet brought me back to reality. To be honest I generally care about 0 about fashion, and this is no exception. The clothes? Overpriced and generally ugly. An expensive name that makes you look rich if you wear it. Abercrombie all grown up? If you were wearing something exactly like a designer piece, but minus the label, people would mock it, actually they might mock it anyhow.
If I want to be mocked it's NOT going to be for THOSE clothes. It's going to be for something CREATIVE.


Sorry runway fans.

Do you get me bitch?

I actually rarely shop at Urban Outfitters partly because it's expensive and partly because SOMEONE in likely to have it , but they have had some nice leather/fake leather things lately and the risky business sunglasses in animal prints(see Leopard Printed)are pretty sweet.
My favorite thing to come in lately at UO that I would call "sweet" is this dress:





Way back at the end of January(okay not that long ago, but I feels like a long time, hey?) I posted a "punk" vest saying I was going shopping for materials that weekend and making one. Well as a procrastinator I never did, but tomorrow I actually am going shopping. No excuses.
As you can imagine I'm excited!

Leopard printed,

Currently my leopard print collection consists of 2 headbands(soon to be 3, since I have such nice friends),one of the headbands, though, is a scarf I cut in half, a cardigan and pair of pants that I customized using fabric that came from a friend who got it from the pillowcase of another friend. This is SAD seeing as I love leopard print. To add to my collection I'd like to buy these:









I feel like the socks would look perfect with boots and tights and a mini dress.

Some of my friends sell records, some of my friends sell drugs,

In math class today, we got a seating plan, how wonderfully elementary school of the teacher, hey? We didn't even have setting plans in JH. She put me next to a girl I know from a couple drunken events. I'm pretty jealous of her, I mean she has a shaved head and she still looks fucking gorgeous, how many people can do that?
So were sitting there in a class of dancers and cheerleaders who don't seem to grasp fractions, and I look over at her and she is drawing my teacher nude with hideous hanging breasts, fried eggs on a nail and Jesus in a baller hat, and that put me over the edge with laughter. I spent the remainder of the class drawing my teacher as a gremlin with a flaming satan behind her. The teacher thought at the end of class that it would be a good idea to try and better understand what goes through my friends head and why she doesn't participate in class, well dear, one, that whole class with about 4 exceptions is fucking annoying, two, you aren't going to understand a girl that different, trust me.

On a lighter note, I'm really enjoying this from www.angryyoungandpoor.com :

I'm dancing barefoot...

I know idolizing the style of someone like Patti Smith is somewhat of an oxymoron, but COME ON, the girl looked good...in sort of a messy way that only the truly confident can getaway with. So, ignoring the slight riduclousness of this, isn't she stylish?

just keep truckin' on...

In preparation for the ending term I find myself panicking over no longer being in art. That class was getting to be the only thing getting me out of bed in the mornings. Aside from heading out to the art supply store to do some damage control and buy myself an easel to replace my drawing table I reminisced about the term. This past term in art we had a wonderfully creative artist as our artist in residence, Spyder Yardley Jones. Now, I have to interject my art talk with a love for style, and this man had it! The shaved/bald head, thick framed glasses, lose pants, tight tank top, and Doc Martens. Style perfection, classic skinhead look, accompanied by several tatoos including my personal favorite "Toon nerd" written on his knuckles. Now normally trying to do cartoons sends me over the edge, something about the things, all colourful and overly-happy, but his drawing were far from, You can see some of them at his web site, http://www.spyderyardleyjones.ca

Summer never comes

As I sink deeper into the depression that winter brings me I find myself caring less about how I look and grunge-y looking me turns to bag lady me.
You know those days where you find yourself wearing the same hoodie and skirt you wore the last two days?

You might wonder, what's my plan of action to break out of this funk and laziness?
Well m'dears, my plan of action is a DYI project.

It's name? The punk vest.

Tomorrow I am heading down to my local Goodwill and picking myself up a denim vest I've had my eye on then ambling down to my local punk store to buy a back patch and some spikes or studs.

If I'm lucky a couple friends will feel the same burning urge that I feel to make a vest too and it'll turn into a DYI night, but I have my most certain doubts.
