Sorry, yes I have not updated my blog as I should have done. Slapped wrists. That is in part because I have been super busy. I'm not going into it because generally people talking about being busy is boring to listen too (or read).
I called this blog Fashion Ugly because of a few things I had read recently by designers and how generally I have become to feel about style and fashion.
Fashion for me is about taking risks, and this often means dressing for yourself and not others. To wear something that goes against your sexuality, your class, your friends, the general public takes bravery and vision. This (for me) is not in an attempt to define yourself as being different to others, but too truly and really embody the concept of your own identity and your creativity. The clothes I wear do not hang upon me but rather these shoes, hats, blouses are me.
At times in the past and now I have been abused verbally because of what I have worn by the public. Sometimes this has been quite vicious. I am to others Fashion Ugly. Seems strange to me that in what can be an often mundane and grey life than an expected piece of colour, an outward expression of creativity can evoke such horror.
I have and will always be walking the tight rope of being fashion ugly as I go on defining and redefining my own identity.
