What we really wants to wear....

Before I even get started, I’m so sorry guys for not updating the blog for quite a while. Keeping up with me has been a little tough lately. More and more work to do but I know I can cope up with it. Now… Let’s check out the fashion street talk this time.

Once upon a time…

Though I’m a little too young to really know much about fashion then, I never completely ignore it too. From what been reporting on TV, showcases in malls, newspapers and magazines cover displays, quietly I did observe and admired. Imagine seeing some crop top (especially T-shirts) with few folds on the sleeves and acid wash Jeans!!! As a child then, how naïve I was! I took that as what cool kids must have and do. Can’t really blamed me too, it was everywhere on TV shows and those who were wearing it show lots and lots of confident but somehow, I don’t remember I ever have any acid wash jeans. Mom won’t buy those.

What I’m talking about right now is the fashion era of 80’ and 90’s, when there was a sense that you could ensemble anything on the runway and by infusing it with the glamour of fashion and the runway, people would definitely buy it. I always remembered seeing some ridiculous pieces on the magazine fashion spreads while waited for my Mom to get her hair done and started wondering “Who is going to buy or even wear that?” Then soon enough, sure we’d saw from the news reporting on someone especially celebrities caught wearing those funny pieces and walk down the streets.

However, to my real sense, I think that era is well and truly gone by now and clothing lines ‘mastermind’ do have to be mindful of what real people want to wear and it is not the kind of “I’m dying for attention” show pieces. I am not disrespectful about Lady Gaga on her Gaga Signature style but would you wear a dress made of fresh meat to your company award gala night? Or would you take a risk wearing those sky high heel-less platform shoes? I don’t know about you but I don’t think I ever will. Lady Gaga definitely need those to boost up her career, get her fans keep talking and following on her iconic style. What about us? The real everyday people. We certainly don’t face the day waiting for paparazzi or tabloids reporters to snap a shot or wrote a piece about what we wear or what we do. We also don’t sit down and start checking our Twitter or Facebook account by counting on followers and numbers of viewers to our videos or photos.

When designers went too creative.... These are some of the creations

We have to face the day at work doing what we do best. Whether teaching children at school, transacting cash at bank, cashiering at supermarket, consulting clients, convincing customers at stores; whatever we do all of us have the responsibilities to look professional at work. We don’t want to wear any ridicule outfits and look like the lost souls who were total fashion victims.

For me, what I really want in clothes are those wearable, well-made and won’t falling apart pieces, far from creating accidental peek-a-boo scene at any wrong time or wrong spot. Still there is another priority for me. It is the level of comfort while wearing them. I don’t want to look fine but unable to sit properly because that tiny cute dress might rip apart. Toot... Toot… It has to bear decent price tags too. Not everyone can dig into their purse and pay for thousands of dollars just for that hot designers figure hugging mini dress. Even if we could, where are we going with it and how many times can we wear that?  So everyone, let’s be wise. Check out more often, I’ll reveal the secret of dress your shape, not your weight.
