Wednesday 8/19/15 Boyfriend's House
A morning with Morning Phases by Beck, laying with Bubba on the couch and enjoying my morning tea in the loft in Milwaukee. I have been wanting to do a blog, like written. I really miss writing. So here it is. Today I am prepping some jobs for next week in LA. All fun shopping so I am super stoked. Working on YouTube, editing videos and browsing the inter web. Feeling very underwhelmed by fashion right now. A dear friend of mine recently said that luxury fashion is dead. That people don't care about spending their money on fancy clothes any more. They want to spend money on more holistic and health based things. Her statement has really stuck with me. Especially since I have been in such a jeans and tee shirt mode. This morning I was texting with my best friend and closest fashion confidante and we were chatting about our fall wardrobes. All I want to wear for fall is vintage levis and big sweaters with boots. I found vintage 70's cowboy boots in black and another pair in brown this summer. They are all I want to wear. Just adding some skinny and relaxed and flare vintage levis to my wardrobe and some sweaters from a couple of buddies knitwear lines and I am done. Dressing up doesn't feel right anymore. It feels cheap and trying too hard. I love dressing up for a date with my boyfriend, but that's the only time. And that's because he loves it so much. Where is this sudden love for jeans and tee shirts coming from? Is NormCore never going to end? Fuck the trend. For me it's about comfort. And utility. I will always love fashion. But the tricky, over done, large statement making moments of the 90's and early 00's is so done for me. Celine and The Row triggered change, but even those brands feel to fussy. Now I just want Saint Laurent. Which is basically jeans and tee shirts. Albeit fancy jeans and tee shirts. I don't wanna wear makeup, or brush my hair. It's not that I don't care about my appearance, I just don't feel beautiful all done up! I don't feel cool. I feel like when I am all made up, I look like a clown, or a society masked barbie or like I am trying to hard. And this is not because of anything anyone has said to me. It's been happening since the images I have loved the most over the past year have been raw, unmakeuped and undone. In what feel like real clothes. And now even my coveted Celine suits feel too fussy. I am just wallowing in the easiness of jeans and a tee. To me they are the sexiest thing in the world. And for beauty, I only care for skincare. In the past year, I have only purchased skincare. I want to feel beautiful with no makeup hiding my face. I want to feel like I need no improvement! Well, that's how I am feeling today. My swinging moods change on a dime. But hey, isn't that what life is about? Creating and creating and creating new ways to live and look and things to do over and over. Ok, I am stopping. Thoughts for today I guess. Hope you all have an awesome day. Lots of Love! XXSL
