The March 2009 issue of Teen Vogue features a spread about feminizing Men's Wear. Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE Men's Wear. It is one of the many reasons I love fashion.
I've probably told this story a thousand times, but growing up my mom never let me pick my own clothes and would always buy me a limited supply. And being the clothes horse I am, I decided to ransack my older brother's closet and mix his button downs with my acid-washed overalls (cool, I know--hah) or whatever. It became a normal morning routine of mine. I would get dressed then sneak into his room and look at his closet to see if there were any pieces I could add to my outfit. Whenever I would come home from school, my brother would say (with a puzzled look), "Is... that... mine?" My mom hated the idea of me mixing Men's and Women's Wear but I did and do love it.

Love the new look!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I still do this, except I like to scour the depths of my dad's closet to find the oldest most obnoxious 80s and 90s style shirts possible. As I cinch them with belts, my mom complains while my dad laughs and says they look better on me anyway. I found this funny gold silk number over the weekend. It's so MC Hammer, I love it!
looks like someone was ahead of the curve ; )

My sister was always sneaking into my room to borrow some of my clothes. She would do the same with my brother and our dad. She looked great in the stuff.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome. My favorite is the last one.
