Fashion Faux pas



Okay so I'm just posting this because I feel the need to rant. Lately, for the past year or so, everyones been a label whore. Don't matter if you're a girl or a dude, or both. I even have friends who would name drop their bandage just to get some sort of recognition. Let's be honest here, I know personally I love designers for their designs, not for their name. For instance I love Marc Jacobs because he's simply amazing and all his pieces are timeless. Not to mention all my shoes I own from his collections are ridiculously comf and they're totally versatile. There are so many amazing designers out there its hard to name my top 3, although I have an idea who they are, but what makes me HATE certain collections are the people out there who destroy the designers image and make themselves a walking ad. 

Having money and being able to spend it on collections you love, its a different thing because I know if I have the money and I love the design, quality, and make I'll be more than willing to drop $$$ for it. Jenn Curlz, a mad tight girl of mine, who is an amazing dancer (just had to throw that in there Dollface) and I always, always, always had the same love for Michael Kors since back in the day when she worked at Adidas and I worked at B2 because his collection is by far one of the most classic. I remember when she wanted to buy a pair of flats a few summers ago and she loved the way it looked on display but not so much on her feet, and because she didn't LOVE it she didn't buy it. That is something a lot of you teeny boppers out there need to realize. If you don't love it, please don't buy it. Just because it looked amazing on the shelf, doesn't mean it'll look just as good on you. I point and laugh at girls who look ridiculous in those $800 D&G pumps that kill your feet and you're walking bare feet on Richmond St after a night out.

All in all, just because you shop at UB *pause or Urban Outfitters doesn't make you any less of a "fashionista" than a girl who spends daddy's money at Holts or a hard working business man who shops at Harry Rosen. If you can't afford it, simply, don't wear it and brag that you can. It's just annoying. Buy a LV belt and call it a day.

Thanks!
