Style & Fashion


Since my sister went shopping today, I figured this would be relevant.


So she went to a Coach outlet and spent $640 or so. And while I understand that Coach stuff is expensive, she has 4 black Coach bags. In addition to other color Coach bags, and other brands (Louis Vuitton, Dooney and Burke...) So I get that you want a purse or a few to carry stuff around in when you're just hanging out (because we, unlike guys, don't have huge pockets), but why do you need so many?! And she bought a Coach computer case too. That, to me, is just like "...wtf?"

As for clothes, you obviously want to find something flattering, but why so picky? Personally, I don't give a crap if my jeans or shirt are a bit loose, or my shoes make my feet look bigger than they are, as long as they're comfortable. I love how whenever people talk about buying clothes, it's about it being the right color, the right style, hugging your body in the right places, etc. Comfort is rarely ever mentioned. Call me weird, but I'd much rather have a pair of really baggy but comfortable jeans that look sort of weird, than a pair of tight body-hugging jeans that are extremely flattering, but also uncomfortable.
In regards to price, I really don't see why ANYONE needs a pair of $200 jeans in any case, at any time, for any reason. Unless they're on sale for like $30. =P Because Seven For All Mankind jeans are pretty comfy. xD

I believe I've ranted about makeup before? If not, the summary is... Makeup is yucky. Stay away from it unless you have a reason to put it on. By that, I mean you're an actor, model, a part of Colorguard or a dance team, and stuff like that. Not because you have a tiny blemish on your forehead, so therefore you must apply foundation to your whole face. Plus concealer, mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, and blush.

*****

Anyways, it's just my opinion, so feel free to laugh at me. I'd be perfectly comfortable wearing a pair of sneaker, some sweats, and a baggy tee to school every day. But hey, I have nothing against people who are fashionistas. Each to her own. =]
