I have to say lately i have gotten a little tired of the grunge look. Too much black can take a toll on my eyes. I also made the mistake of going to Michigan Ave on sat in hopes to exchange this vest that im pretty sure i wont wear from f21. I was pretty wishy washy about getting anything so decided it better to just leave. I couldnt help myself from going into H&M across the street and man was i impressed! First, i must say that they pretty much always do a good job with their winter coats. (or maybe i shoudl say fall, they arent really much armor against the chicago winds) They had some really fabulous pieces, one of which reminds me a lot of my D.I.Y. jacket. hmmm suspicious?! no but really, im proud of h&m and intrigued because they never over due the fads. (well maybe their divided line) but its not like walking into an urban outfitters and you are just depressed from all the fads and trendy stuff thats all up in your face! so all i have to say is, thanks, and keep up the good work.
i also was having a conversation with a friend this weekend and we were talking about how it was kinda sad that when we put an outfit together we question ourselves as to weather WE really like it or if we have given way to trendiness. I said that maybe trends have just caught up with us, maybe they just like what we like now. Which also saddens me, i'd liek to think im more original than that, but its hard when you dont have your usual entourage for inspiration. I also said, maybe vintage is the way to go. You can always seem to find an original piece, but maybe thats kinda cheating. Then again, isnt it all about your style, the WAY you put things together, not REALLY what they are? (well, maybe a happy medium) the debate and internal conflict continues. all we can do is try to keep it real.
