Fashionista

I'm sitting here watching The Devil Wear's Prada.... it's probably wrong that I love this movie.  Ok, actually I loved this book and the movie is also pretty good.  I like the little tongue in cheek things that get through.  Stuff about the fact that fashion actually does change things even if you don't believe it.  It is a multi-billion dollar industry and the runway actually influences what Target & Kohl's buys even if you don't see the correlation.



I never used to care what I wore, jeans (if I could find them to fit my butt), t-shirts, a sweater, whatever.  I always liked clothes but didn't feel like they were made for me.  Then, when I started to make a little money I discovered shoes and handbags fit you no matter what size you are.  I always loved shoes but I by college I REALLY loved shoes. ;-)  I worked at a Bakers Shoes in college and never made a dime, my whole pay check went to shoes.  They weren't even that great of shoes and they usually hurt your feet but I loved them.

Then I morphed into more expensive shoes, OMG I'm totally addicted, I pick out my shoes for the day and find an outfit to match.  I like to wear dresses--it's actually easier than finding jeans and a t-shirt--and then I pick out jewelry to match the shoes (I mean dress!)

Fashion is what you make it, I buy things from Prada to Target and everything in-between.  I'd say I have an eccentric style, I like to combine a lot of things, old, new, cheap, and expensive.  "Dressing up" is just as easy as not, just choose a different set of clothes and you are doing the same thing.

Have to go finish watching the movie now... she's about to make the speech about Andy's lumpy cerulean sweater--love that part!
