Old is Gold

Aloha humans, whatty up?

It’s 19:42  on Thursday I am drinking white tea and listening to As we are by Three Laws. Christmas is officially over. Why, god, why? All the good things must come to an end. Well, I am loving the decor and pretty Christmas trees everywhere, which at least won’t go away until the end of January. It’s a drag but let’s just hope the new year brings lots of happiness and success in everybody’s lives. (I just love December, you just want to be curled up in a bed with a book or Netflix.)

Consumed by 19th and 20th Century Fashion

So, I have been reading about 19th- and 20th-century fashion since last week and I came across the story of this woman called Loisa Casati. Wow, what a weird, brilliant, amazeballs specimen of a woman. She used to parade in Venice sometimes at night with her pet cheetahs wearing nothing but fur (goals right?).

I am lovesick with vintage fashion. How Charles Fredrick revolutionized Fashion and Paul Poiret helped liberate the woman from corsets. How Jeanne Lanvin who is famous for perfecting the Robe de style dresses invented the idea of doing four seasons fashion shows and so much more. It was fascinating!

Two Amazing Mamas

I feel like I have always been interested in Fashion. My mother had an impeccable fashion sense but now she is too lazy so she opts for comfort. My grandmother also was a tailor and she raised me. I used to see how she used pretty laces, buttons, and net when she stitched suits. She used to operate from her one-room apartment but she was the whole colony’s (and my) favorite. So, growing up, I was obviously obsessed with wearing good clothes but I also had my own style.

Fashion for me has always been about confidence. As my social anxiety is so severe, I feel like if I am wearing amazing clothes I will be able to avoid humans. They’ll just assume I am a bitch, which is better than being recognized as a socially awkward human. I do like attention but I prefer to keep my head down when I am getting it, lol.

This Precious Look

Today, I am wearing a navy blue winter coat with gold-tone buttons from Zara. I bought it last August as I wanted one for work. I paired it up with a cheetah print shirt and navy blue pants with gold lace, which I bought last month because I wanted something to go with the coat. You guys can wear this at work or just normally. I wear it casually too.

That’s all, guys. Wishing you a Happy New Year. I lava you.https://veinofmydesign.in/2017/12/19/extra-nothing/
