A Fashion Statement

So I’ve talked about fashion before:

Fashion

And it’s true, whether we are so deeply invested that we know the designer’s names and collections, to whether we know what we like and that’s what we buy over and over again; everyone has some sort of interest in fashion.

And with that we have the things we like and dislike; our own little quirks. For instance I hate anything around my neck it bothers me to no end.

My sister always makes fun of me for that, but it feels like I am choking.

I also hate huge clunky bracelets. I have very small wrists so I always have issues getting ones that fit right.

StartrekSpockuncomfortable

Yep, comfort tends to be my number one thing.

Sometimes it is more fun to just chill out and relax than be in dressed up clothes. I think Cher said it best in Clueless:

Although that doesn’t go for my shoes as I love them high.

A Real Life Saver

So if you have been reading my blog, you know I know a little about fashion:

modelblackmailfashion

But I’m not perfect.

sweatpantshoodiessexylazy

Yep, I don’t always follow what is in or what I should wear, because I like doing my own thing. For instance, my most important accessory is a book.

booksarefashionable

And I don’t always follow the rules. For example, one of the first rules of fashion, “always wear something that fits you”. Well I like wearing oversize clothing every now and then.

oversizeclothingfat

Comfy and slim feeling. But you know what? Oversize clothing once saved my life!

Mal_huh Whoa Wow what

For Reals!

So one of my good friends is a Supernatural fan like me.

And of course like any fan, we began to do marathons together.

MyKindOfMarathon

Now while this was all fine and good, there is just one problem. Her dog hates me. And I mean really hates me. Every time I come he barks at me or advances at me. And I don’t know why, animals (except guinea pigs and birds) love me.

Why is this happening?!!

Why is this happening?!!

And this isn’t any ordinary dog. This is a giant great dane who is bigger than me.

AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, Taurean (the dog) is one scary creature.

So far we had had three very successful marathons, and we had some great treats. Popcorn of course

Cupcakes, brownies, and then one time my friend Michelle made these really amazing cookies, mamafuku or something like that.

cookies

I’m going to have to get my sister blog, MysteriousEats.wordpress.com to make me some. Anyways as you might have noticed everything was on the snacky side, nothing quite a full meal. So this latest time I thought I would take a pizza.

When I got to her house and rang the doorbell, the dogs barked at me as usual. However, this time Taurean pushed past Michelle and came running toward me.

AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried to back away, but he was too fast and bit my side.

OMG gasp

Yep, I would have been seriously injured if it wasn’t for the fact I had an oversized sweater on. Taurean grabbed that instead of my body, and Michelle was able to grab him and wrestle him to the backyard.

I’m lucky that I choose comfort that day, and am making that a life long choice if I’m to be around any more dangerous company.

For today’s Christmas Carol, I choose the song The First Noel. The song is about the anunciation to the shepherds and the announcement of Jesus’ birth (Luke chapter 2). Noel is an Early Modern Europe term equivalent to Christmas.

No one knows when the poem was first written, but the version we sing today was published in 1823.

It’s short and sweet, and I absolutely love it. Take it away Bing!

Just A Friendly Reminder

 

Back to the Future II

So most of the clothes from “2015” are a mix of ’80s wear taken to the extreme mixed with the stuff you would see on Star TrekAnd while there are some crazy costumes in here.

They do have some advantages. First of all, the clothes are one size fits all.

Duh!

Duh!

Now, hold on. I know you’re thinking what’s so special about that? I mean you can buy “one size fits all” anywhere. Well these are different. The clothes are one size and then automatically shrink down or increase in size so that they fit you perfectly.

Mal_huh Whoa Wow

I know pretty sweet!

This would so fantastic for me. I’m short and pear shaped, so it is extremely difficult to find things that fit just right. If this was real, I’d be first in line to buy it!

ShutUpTake MY Money

They have some other cool features like automatically drying when wet and stuff like that

I wish that was real.

Well chances are that this technology won’t be around next year, but that doesn’t have to stop you from creating your own Back to the Future: Part II inspired wear. I’m definitely going to and I’ll try to post pics!

Check out Back to the Future: Part II for outfit ideas, or just to watch as it is an awesome film!

Fashionably Postworthy

So a lot of people knock fashion down. They say that caring about how one looks is a waste of time and that one should only think about who they are on the inside. Now while it’s true that real beauty comes from within, you shouldn’t completely knock fashion.

Fashion

It’s true. A cute article of clothing can brighten your day. You can feel more confident, more together, and just all around amazing.

Damn hot confidence Lily HIMYM

And just because you are caring about how you look doesn’t mean you have to buy into the fashions of the day. You wear what you like. No matter what anyone else says.

lookgood

I pretty much only shop at thrift stores and people love my finds. People might not like what you are wearing and call you crazy, but you know what? All people with great ideas are considered crazy at first.

It isn’t until afterwards that we recognize their genius and abilities.

Now the only thing to remember is to be careful when creating your own style that you still wear things appropiate to what you are taking part in.

Because you might find yourself in a situation that your clothes just don’t fit right.

But on a whole wear what you want, look good

Women in Black

Now I own a lot of black. It seems that every time I go shopping for an outfit, particularly a dress, I always end up purchasing something in black. It has gotten to the point that people all think my favorite color is black, and purchase items for me in black. It has made some formal occasions impossible (such as weddings), but you know what? I’ve decided to stop apologizing for it . After all:

They make you look good and great for anything you are planning on doing
