Fashion is Art -- Oui ou Non?

Flannel: Old Navy
Shirt: Old Navy
Pants: Mandee
Boots: Guess?

Today's outfit is channeling a little bit of Gwen Stefani from her Luxurious Music Video; oh how I adore The Stefani. She's one of my personal Fashion icons (some may disagree that she is a Fashion icon, but ehh you say tomayto I say tomahto--not really lol.). I think she brings Fashion to its art form, but a little bit more on the self-expression side (does that make sense?). Check it out in the video! ;]


Anyway, today I got in trouble at work for reading the latest Harper's Bazaar (it's not my fault they don't have enough work for me to do, that I'd rather read than do nothing--haha). So while I was reading it, there was a lot of mention about art on clothing and the bold colors, and whatnot, and it got me remembering what I read in Vogue's January 2008 issue.

Amy Greenspon (whom I've never head of til I read this issue), says that she tries to separate the two, but is it really possible to separate the two? I mean they both go hand-in-hand; in a way, Fashion is a form of art. I don't know if art is a form of Fashion, but Fashion is definitely a form of art. So, eat that Amy Greenspon (you're still a fab. dresser though, haha).

I'll leave you with a message from an Angry Cow (it's pretty funny). Sorry Cow, I love my leather, but I don't believe in cruelty to animals, so judge me all you want PETA.

Dress Me Up With Love

Top: Bitten by SJP
Pants: Mandee
Boots: Guess?
Scarf: My Momma's<33

What up with this weather? It is beginning to be reminiscent of last year when it was strangely warm mid-Winter, and the flowers were beginning to blossom because they thought it was Spring time. Today I walked around campus without my Winter coat. Crazy bananas isn't it? Today I had lunch with my friend Joseph; he always manages to bring me back to Earth and make my day bright. He's so country and down-to-earth that I wish he wasn't engaged, haha! We've only been friends since the beginning of this semester, and even though I never mentioned my love for Fashion, he can tell I love Fashion and assumed that that was my major (even though our school doesn't offer that option? haha). Why did I mention that? Yea, I don't know. Well, no, isn't it amazing how people can see into our being without being told? I mean I almost never tell anyone that I love Fashion. I think I went through a phase (in high school) where I would tell people, but now I don't feel like I need to, because for me, Fashion is my personal love. It's like my boyfriend. It's my lover; it knows me better than anyone (besides God), and knows how to make me feel better when I am down. As weird as it sounds, a good outfit fulfills my voids. I'm not into the trends, nor do I care about what's in, but what makes me look in the mirror and feel good about myself. Fashion is truly a wonderful thing; it's the ultimate love.


Also, today I went to the mall to look for a leather coat and left with a leather coat and new heels. Seriously, why do I do this? I have one agenda when I go to the mall but leave with more than I intended! What is funny about the heels I bought is that I just read an article in Seventeen Magazine (love this magazine!) that mentioned a shoe with a thick heel and strap won't kill your feet. I think I'll test them out tomorrow at work!
