Oh my gosh don’t you just love it when a trip to Wikipedia turns out to be some very fun times! Well I having one of those moments right now.
My categorie is Fashion Terms…I thought it could be an interesting read and boy it did not disappoint I found two terms I thought I could write about…enlighten your mind here ->
Fashion Victim - A term used to identify a person (The Victim) who is unable to recognise boundaries of style.
Now personally I think they style is a form of expression so whether someone wears a Armani suit or a binbag if thats what they chose to wear that day I will respect that.
A perfect example of this is a recent event. I went out one day to meet a friend in my Bettina Liano skinny black pants (or trousers as us Brits like to call them). Now I freaking love them. They are gorgeously snug, wash incredibly well and make me feel confident and sexy. My friend however did not take a liking to them…exact words as follows…
“Oh my god what are you wearing?! Bit tight arent they?! Dont leave much to the imagination!!”
Now lets look at the facts shall we? Did I like my outfit? Yes! Did I look acceptable to be seen with? Yes! What was the problem then? If I wasnt a confident person with my fashion then my confidence could have been knocked. This is why when people try to break their boundaries and their same old styling routine they just go running back to it as they feel they have made a mistake. I can assure you I am no ‘Fashion Victim’.
So I say ladies and gentlemen wear what you please as long as it makes you happy and oh…its clean!
Recessionista - This term describes a person who strives to remain fashionable on a minimal budget.
Yes currently this is me! Is there any shame in buying high street? No way. I am the biggest follower of it, high and low-end! The British High Street amazes me as I have travelled quite a bit and I believe that there is no where as bold and as impressive with the amount of style and choice that one can buy when hitting the shops.
I am literally bowled over when I enter a shopping centre. Everyone can happily live within their means and buy great clothes. Being honest we all know that you get what you pay for, so often you will have to compromise on quality. Obviously the biggest High Street Fashion store to hit our streets that is great on the wallet is Primark. My feelings on it are neutral. I do shop there but if I am after a quality piece like a suit or wedding outfit then I will give it a miss. But I do think its the perfect place for a Recessionista and also if there is a new trend thats only a fad and your only going to wear it once then its a good place to spend the £££s.
Whether your spending £1 or £1000 on a garment wear it with confidence and no one will ever know how much you paid for it. With confidence comes great reward, so get dressed, do your hair and fix your make up ready to face the world and you will hopefully achieve a great day!
