Leather Generation
I saw this yummy little number dangling from a hanger. I laid eyes on it and reached for it. "Mine.", I thought to myself. Although I was probably the only person who has ever, and will ever purchase that particular item, I am extremely ecstatic that it is now happily dangling from a hanger in my closet. The challenge of finding the perfect leather mini-skirt is over. The only challenge now, is to find a place to wear it. With my outrageous outfit ensembles to inappropriate places, I'm sure this will not be an issue for long.
This got me to thinking - what makes a garment "unconventional"? Is it the fabric? The structure? The overall design? The fit? We all know that wearing something leather out in a place where the public eye is way judgmental can be a touchy night out. But I'm willing to suffer the consequences for fashion. The structure of a garment can surely be the be all, end all. That extra padded power shoulder blazer won't fly everywhere, you know. The design, too, can cause quite a few conflicts. A garment, or even a shoe itself can be completely unconventional. I've met plenty a shoe that will just not happen. You'd literally have to take baby deer steps everywhere you went. And you can forget taking sharp corners. And cobblestone? let's not even go there. I'm pretty sure I can leave the fit of a garment to your imagination. There are more than enough prosti-tots out there who display this issue on a daily basis, so I need not explain myself.
I've already begin experimenting with it, finding that it doesn't have to be used for a total rocker chic look. I can done it down, or, believe it or not, dress it up. It looks just as good with my nude patent leather platform heels and flouncy white top as it does with some killer gladiators and a riped up white tank that I made.
I'd like to call this day a success.
