Let me start by saying...I love silk! Silk makes me feel classy, comfortable, and is one material I consider wildly transitional!!! I also love heels....tall heels because at 5'3 "ish" a little boost certainly helps! That being said....silk shirts and high heels don't exactly fit in everywhere...so often I feel overdressed....first World problems, right?!? So many people assume that when someone is overdressed it is because they are looking for approval, uppity, or don't understand comfort....for me personally I am often overdressed because silk shirts and heels are my comfort zone...they haven't always been but it's been years since I can think of liking some other look on me more....
I guess I am rambling on tonight because I hate and love that clothes can create an immediate reaction from people...that without a single word being spoken that an outfit can create a persona....that's pretty powerful.
We use clothes to identify ourselves and to create conformity...we define people based on what they are wearing long before what they are saying....and I'm sure a few people will read this and say "not everyone is like that" ---- but I beg to differ.....hipsters have a look, housewives, politicans, preachers, and just about every other label we give out has a type of "look" associated with it.
So my look....the typically overdressed, sometimes sassy, sometimes classy, and often times both is what makes me happy...tonight I guess I want to know what "look" makes you happy....
Until next time....cause I'm slipping into heels and silk and heading out! With a coat on of course 😘
