lets set the mood with this song.
press PLAY please, thankyou.
my inspiration for my outfits is usually derived from the music i listen to. i'm quite a fan of 30 seconds to mars, the gossip and the killers, and that was where i drew my inspiration from for this outfit.
drawing inspiration from something doesnt mean replicating a certain style. its more like drawing the essense of the inspiration and blending it with your own personal style to create the final look. this is what separates a fashion clone from a fashion individualist. the ability to interpret.
i admit i'm no fashion guru. i dont even go to fashion school. but i dont have to go some prestigious school of fashion to be able to have my own sense of style. in fact, most of the stuff our local fashion students put out looks like crap that nobody would ever buy. not even for halloween!
if you were ever wondering..
grey printed tshirt : Zara
knitted wool vest : Leonardo Del Poggio (something my dad got on his trip to Italy)
blue denim skinnies : Lee
black leather ankle boots : Tangs
grey woven beanie : Club Marc
tortoiseshell glasses : Levis
black beaded chain bracelet : self made
i tried to keep this outfit in the sombre shades of black and grey to reflect my inspiration from the music but didnt want to make it to dull from being overly monochromatic, so i switched from a pair of black skinnies to this blue Lee denim skinnies to inject a little color. i also added the knitted wool vest for layering and texture, and complimented with the woven beanie to tie the look together and make it more me.
now you know why i take forever to pick something to wear.
