Too many clones going about today.
you just cant stick it that im so kool
deal with it
i want cow boy boots
(and less of the sarcasm thank you)
bastards.
cowboy boots. right. you missed the 70s then, yeah?
You're 16 love, fashion DOES NOT revolve around you. It started before you were an egg in your Mum's ovaries. Fuck, you look at ANY fashion designer and you'll see that the trends they make were influenced probably well before you or anyone else on these boards were about.
Just because YOU say "I want cowboy boots/trucker caps" doesn't mean to say you're a trend setter.
I believe before Pharrell Williams wore trucker caps, it was Billy Bob on the "Silver Fox" Lorry driving Budweiser from state to state who was indeed the trucker cap bearer. :yes:
'tis really quite buggin.
but to stop a rucus before i add to it,i can see everyone else's point too.
I dont for a minute think I inspired the trend either LOL, it was just an annoying coincidence. When I did it, piercings were still kind of seen as the domain of the fetish society, but in the course of a year it became more popular - not even nearly as popular as it is now, but still popular enough for me to be bored of it.
Nowadays it probably wouldnt bother me if something became popular or not, If I liked it, id wear it, but back in the day (lol) it was something that was important to me when I was trying to be subversive and alternative.
no, i totally get that.
it annoys me when things i wear become fashionable, and people accuse me of just buying them cause they're in. major example - converse all stars. I had some when they were big in the 80s, fell in love, and just never stopped wearing them. then they came back in last year and suddenly everyone thinks i'm a fashion whore. i don't think i started the trend though. not being alive in 50s america and all. that would just be silly.
does make it easier to get them though....
that probably doesn't make any sense but hopefully you get what I mean.
I had a pair of converse when I was 7. When they were seriously uncool. Therefore, by powers of.... something....I was seriously cool. Yes.
Know what you mean about both sides of the story.
I have an extremely fashionable friend - shops in charity shops, wears retro outfits, always has her own look - who kinda worked the pussybow secretary look last year (tweed skirts, blouses etc). Thing is I'm liking a few of those pieces but I know should I wear them into college, there will be hostility. She doesn't like people follwing her fashion. And it reeeaaallly annoys me. Everyone is wearing it. It's not yours!!
But then again - trucker caps? Please stop.
they were the height of fashion when you were about 7. they were the nirvana years and every kid worth their grungy hairdo had either a pair of converse or a pair of docs.
i had both. touch me, i rock
They were? God, I'm seriously uncool. Nirvana just swept right on by me.
*reaches out to touch La Kaff*
i'll have you know i was a very fashionable 11-year-old.
i get what you're saying though, i used to wear my suit jacket with everything cos it's a tight little black thing that i have for jazz gigs and lately it's like the world and their daughters are wearing them. not to say i started it obviously or sparked it, in fact, i thought it was kinda cool that people are wearing them, like kaff said about cons, they're easier and so cheaper to get now!
Yeaaah, I wanted a suit jacket ever since I saw SJP in SATC with one on with a Mickey Mouse Tshirt underneath, now I have like, 4.
They're nice, eh! I can't leave the house without one.
Two of mine are from Primark, they have LOADS in. Internacionale are doing LOADS of them too.
Another is frommmm Colors in St Enoch with black pinstripe on a white background and one I already had was from TK Maxx from like 2 years ago.
*sigh* the 2 best shops
