Last week, we documented what we wore in seven days. In those seven days a couple of the themes could be seen through my dress. One of which being formality. I enjoy dressing in formal menswear inspired clothes. I don’t like to wear things hyper feminine but I like a little floral and lace here and there. But my feminine elements are balanced out by a hard edge. For example, if i wear a knitted sweater I balance it out with a men’s Levi pant, or if I wear a lace bralette I wear a leather jacket and trousers with it. Nothing I wear is hyper feminine nor masculine, I don’t want to look like a man but I don’t want to look like a girly girl either. I try to walk a balance of the masculine and feminine side of me. I noticed that I wear far more trailered clothes than I expected. I also noticed that, I didn’t buy as much clothes than I thought. The most recent purchase I made was from last summer, the floral jacket. I was trying to look for new things to wear but–there isn’t anything new. In this fast fashion ridden world it was funny that a fashion major doesn’t buy clothes as often as you would expect. The dress practice reminded me of how much I enjoy formal wear, and how much I don’t care about conforming to a boy or girl way of dressing. When I look back at it there are items that are from the men’s section–but I’ll still wear it with pride.
