Winter is here! The season of caliginous cold weather, enabling months of typically somber winter wardrobe. This time of year has almost no solidarity living in Southern California of course; being that it’s pretty season-less. When it gets down to 59 degrees suddenly it’s a 7 layer minimum which should only be a rule for bean dip… dramatic. We fake the funk just a bit. Of course, we all looove layers (especially bean dip) and busting out the winter attire, let us not be so inclined to dress in drear or adhere to the seasons “it” items; we all know they’re just different variations of the same thangs anyway… No matter the conditions, your style can shine bright even when the sun is nowhere in sight! With that I give you: bikini tee shirt dress post fall!
Sure, it’s Los Angeles and I can get away with this on account of all the sunshine and not snow… don’t doubt yourself into thinking you don’t have alternate options too, I see you. While staying up to date is essential in the world of fashion, I for one find that it’s great to research the latest trends, keep them in mind, and completely ignore most (or all) of it. Trends should not dictate your appearance… Unless if what’s trending is something you already really love than own that shit. Express yourself! If you’re really adamant about your look having relevance, find a way to incorporate a trendier item into your own personal style; that way you can have your individuality, and it’s true to you. Fuck being a conformist.
Fashion is FUN! Trends can be tricksters; however, so necessary as they fuel economic growth and keep things pushin up and out. It’s a love/hate relationship and can feel a little off putting with the ever evolving (and revolving) styles coming and going, especially to those without so much of a fashion inclination. You know what doesn’t come and go? Your life! Let this be your friendly reminder that WE make the trends, with our lives and everything surrounding us; so get all up in that closet and make a statement! Try it on, see how it feels! Literally!
