Get Dressed…. By any Street Necessary!
SO when do you dress your best? Be it for a job interview, club opening, the local “All White/Black Party,” or for Halloween? Do you ever dress to impress yourself?
This week I want to touch on the issue of under-dressing. When I am home in Baltimore I constantly find myself underwhelmed by our “street fashions.” By “street fashions,” I’m referring to how I see local individuals dress when they’re on the streets in transit to school, the mall, the grocery store, or wherever, on the daily I see no daring exposure of great fashion. What I do see is great function, the sweat pant, the ugly UGG boot, the ponytail, and dowdy little North Face fleece things. I never understand that. When will we look in the mirror and say, ‘Today I will impress me?”
I ask this because Baltimore is dying to have a fashion scene but what’s a scene without fashion? Boring and dilute as we already are. I write this foreword from the Bolt Bus as I await my departure from NYC and the one thing I notice here is how daring all things fashion are. Bad fashion is coordinated. Good fashions are breath taking and all in all everyone is an individual.
About a week ago I asked a friend of mine, ‘why is it that every time I see you, you look the same? Where are all of the new things you purchase (mind you he calls me from the mall daily)? He replied, ‘where am I wearing them to?’ Just as I told him I will ask all of you WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR, Tea with the Queen? That’s not going to happen any time soon so do this, LIVE extraordinary, be exuberant, inspire instead of being inspired by and never look to your right or left. Look forward into the mirror. That person staring back at you is who you are impressing today!
P.S. Personally I would hate to parish and there be clothes with tags left in my wardrobe
