When Sophie approached me and asked to me write a guest post for her new blog I really did not know what to write. After some thinking I thought I would talk about 'Fashion' and how it has affected my life and the people around me.
'Fashion' means different things to different people however; by definition fashion means 'a popular trend especially in styles of dress, ornament or behaviour'. I guess you could argue that the definition explains it well but fashion, to me, is much more than that. It is a way of expressing how I feel and at the dame time fashion lets me reveal what I want to reveal to people in a subtle or loud way.
I have not always been interested in fashion, I mean obviously I've always loved dressing up from as you as I can remember but fashion didn't really become part of my life until I was about thirteen or fourteen. I remember seeing people in clothes that I didn't have and thinking 'I really like that, I'd love to own that'. And ever since I've been hooked! I just love how clothing can change your life in so many different ways and how many different looks you can get out of one garment of clothing.
At the moment I'm really loving the 'wrap up warm, it's Christmas' look because let's face it everyone loves Christmas (or The Holidays if you're from the USA). I love the sherpa lining of hoodies and coats, the beanies, the scarves and most of all the autumnal knitwear. Below are some of my favourite examples:
 |
| Nordic Jumper - Wolf & Badger 90.00 |
 |
| Beaver Point Sweater - Abercrombie 150.00 |
To me knitwear is so versatile and can we worn throughout the year however, there's something about wearing it in autumn/winter when it's cooler outside and you can layer it over a thin tee and then put a nice thick pea coat over the top of everything. Let's not forget to mention the all time classic 'Christmas Jumper'. I mean what's Christmas without them? I know some people take them as a bit of a joke but styled right I think you can look really classy wearing one.
In conclusion, I think fashion is what you make it. And at the end of the day it's not everyone's cup of tea and some people are jumper and jeans kind of people and I totally respect that. However, if you're into fashion like me and enjoy it as much as me it's something that will simply change your life forever.
