My Clothes Sale

As much as I stress the need for sticking to your personal style and what you feel comfortable in, evolution is constantly imperative if you are a fashionista in training. Recently, I've found myself in a fashion rut: I am in desperate need of inspiration and new clothes. All of the clothes I have, though I love them and will cherish them and the memories in said outfits, feel outdated and just plain boring to me. I want to start new: to recreate my wardrobe. In order to make my revolution profitable, and fun, I have devised a "Clothes Sale": a tag sale buuut for clothes! So today, I was in the zone: instead of going to Boston, like originally planned, I stuffed five large garbage bags with clothes I no longer want. I'm not going to pretend like it was easy, because it surely wasn't. It's almost like I'm giving away children or friends of mine. This might sound cheesy, but these clothes have been there for me and shaped my life. They represent who I was: what I thought was fashionable, what I wanted to buy even if what I wanted to buy turned into a big mistake. I can picture my clothes sale being like the final scene of Toy Story 3: an emotional roller coaster all around. My intentions on writing this weren't to be sad. On the flip-side, I am so excited to research time periods, looks, trends, and icons so make my new closet one that I'll absolutely treasure! I mean...I wouldn't be surprised if I blogged about an inspiration!

WHAT I REALLY REALLY HATE.

Silly Bands. Or it is Silly Bandz? Whatever they are, I absolutely hate them. A plethora of my friends, who are just about to enter college, are loving this fad, as they trade them among each other. I HATE THEM SO MUCH! I just don't understand why you'd ever want to spend money on stupid rubber bands that break so easily. I mean, sure, the whole shape thing is kinda interesting. But at the same time, you can't see the shape when you're wearing them...and isn't the point WEARING THEM? Ugh, so stupid. I hate how every single person, except a select elite minority, owns these worthless bracelets and decided to succumb to a fad. A really stupid FAD. Nomination Charm Bracelets were a fad, but that was so cool. They actually had a purpose, they actually had some kind of physical attraction. I just hate Silly Bandz (I like the "z" spelling so much better) . And what makes it even worse is that some fashion icon's have decided to give in also. Like Mary-Kate Olsen, I'm disappointed. I always liked Ashley better, and now I know why. I guess they're fine for kids, but then again, what isn't fine for kids? Porn? But people who have begun puberty: stop it. I am extraordinarily nostalgic, probably one of the most nostalgic people I know, so if I don't wear Silly Bandz, nobody else should in order to "recapture their youth". That's what the midnight premiere of Toy Story 3 is for.
