About this blog

What am I doing here? 

Originally, I incorporated Fashion into my Art blog but found myself talking more about my Art and not wanting to interrupt it with something different, like fashion. Then I found myself talking about my Art but thinking more about fashion. So I decided on a separate blog for each. That way I just might get on and write for both.

Fashion has always interested me. I blame my mother who dressed me in about 2-3 different outfits every day when I was very little. She also bought me quite fabulous dresses and accessories from an early age and involved me in the decision making. Without realizing it,  I was hooked. I loved fashion. I went around shops looking at the various items of clothing and had my phases of what I liked.

My mother didn't pass judgment even when I wanted to wear see-through tops with not much underneath. I had fads growing up: There was the:

orange fad

the jeans fad

the all-in-black fad

the halterneck fad 

the midriff fad

the platform shoe fad and still going on

the wearing ties fad and still going on

the punk fad 

the rock fad and still going on

the street fad

the grunge fad (came back into fashion 2018)

the ripped jeans fad (=grunge; rough around the edges, rebellious against the norm) 💪

the glam dress fad and still going on

the lace fad and still going on

the flower print fad but I'm very fussy about this style, it's a Ted Baker style and still going on

waist jacket fad and still going on

short cardigan fad

the nail art fad

the stick-on-body jewellery fad

patterned tights/socks fad

short skirts fad

chequered shirt fad

And whatever else I've forgotten fad and more!

These were all fashion fads but they all expressed something about who I was and how I was feeling. The same is true today!

Now I have branched out and enjoy following fashion houses. I make my mind up what I like or don't like very quickly. But I still wear clothes according to how I feel. Consequently, I don't wear what's hot if I'm not feeling it! Conversely, if I don't like the fashion it can be as hot as it likes, I won't wear it! I also love restyling my own clothes. So fashion is an obsession I've had as far back as I can remember. 

On this blog I shall feed this obsession. My aim is to enjoy fashion. I'm not interested in being negative about fashion designers, that's not my thing. If I don't like something I'll say so but that doesn't mean I don't like that fashion house or designer. It's just that particular design. 🤗
