I've always always been about comfort first in my dressing. I guess I'm just too lazy by half, plus a lot of 'formal' looking clothes are made out of oogie polyester blends that I don't want on my body. I'm a cotton or wool girl!
Plus keeping up with trends is expensive, and I have heaps of clothes I never wear already. I'm trying to work out a personal style, but I am just too lazy most of the time. Plus, I spend all day sitting down at work so some clothes just aren't practical. (Skirts ride up like crazy, for example).
Anyhoo, I'm thinking about fashion because Gala Darling asked what were you wearing when 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins came out?
1996.
I liked tight singlets from Glassons with baggy jeans* and huge oversized men's checked flannel shirts. I also had a denim cap that I wore quite often and a grey ezibuy hoodie.
Most of the time I wore my school uniform, but I also had trackpants to change into when I got home and my jeans. The jeans would have been some Farmer's brand I think. I can't really remember where they came from but I know they weren't from anywhere cool like Just Jeans.
Most of my shoes were second hand from my sister, is that the time I was wearing brown hiking boot style ankle boots? Or is it the elastic sided black leather ankle boot year? Man those were comfy.
I had one of those Glasson's slip dresses that everyone had, floral that you wore over a fitted tshirt? I can't remember what year that was, might have been earlier, like 1994?
I wish I had more photos from those years. I mostly took photos of other people and 'arty' photos of inanimate objects, so there's not much of a fashion record. I especially wish I had photos of what I wore to school mufti days....because those outfits were always carefully planned.
Lee says he doesn't know what he was wearing in 1996, but it was probably "something awful", he had long blonde hair at the time....so I believe him on that.
So, what were you wearing back in 1996?
PoF: as before
CO: fashion.....
*I remember being very concerned with being 'original' and so I got very bitter when Giffy started 'ripping off' the small top/baggy pants combo. Since I had clearly thought of it first! I think I even wrote angry poetry about it.
