"Power Shoulders", in the prettiest, most fashionable way possible.
I'm not sure whether to be upset, or way proud of myself. The comeback of majorly padded shoulders has returned, appropriately called "Power Shoulders". I have been wearing my ultra padded vintage blazer for years and got major compliments, but nobody wanted to follow, until now. Fall '09 Collections strutting down every runway across the world is now sporting the power shoulder. Just log onto www.elle.com and view any runway show's photos. Time to rummage through mom's old 80's wardrobe, girls. I bet there's a whole fashionable little world to find in there.
I'm also taking credit for the comeback of the sling bag. You know, those bags that you throw over your shoulder, it goes across your chest and you instantly feel like you're way too fashionably late for class? It's that big, long strap that comes with most bags you purchase, but you just toss away because it's "way cooler" to carry it on your forearm like a satchel bag, or the same old - throw it over your shoulder. So boring. Step it up people. Bags are much cooler across your chest and resting on your bum.
Ahh. Just another daily reminder that I need to start my clothing label. Investors, step up. I'm ready to go. I can not sit here, looking at clothing lines stealing my ideas any longer. It's beyond heartbreaking, it's physically heart wrenching. Knowing that I can be dressing the world in painfully fashionable clothing that makes women weak in the knees, making closet happy, and knowing that women all over the universe are gaining confidence because they actually feel good in what they're wearing. I think I'm misleading people a tad when I talk about all this fashion stuff. I do love love LOVE fashion, but I don't want to do this for me. When I have my own label, I plan to do great things with it, not only creating beautiful clothing, but helping those in need also. Those big plans are yet to be narrowed down, (I have way too many ideas, I can't keep my focus on just ONE.) but I plan to make it solely about others, not myself, at all. See? I'm not just some self centered, egotistical jerk like Marc Jacobs looking to make a buck. The world needs help, the people in this world need help. And if nobody else is stepping up to the plate, I WILL!
So here's to making fantastic, before-everyone-else-is-doing-it fashion choices. I wonder what spectacular fashion choices I can come up with next. Maybe I'll start crimping my hair ... WITH bangs - a fun little modern twist on being one of the babies of the eighties. Or maybe I'll start wearing embellished bodysuits with tutu's. Ten bucks says you see it on the streets of somewhere near your home.
Yup, this looks like a grand idea to me!
It must be my silver metallic leggings that are predicting the fashion future. I knew I bought them for good reason...
