I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR

I literally say this everyday, i have nothing. However, recently due to lack of money and a slight concern for sustainability (mostly aided through my love for Westwood), i've started to take on a sort of buy less, choose well mantra, a la Vivienne. 

I recently forked out £40 on a new jumper and my justification for it was that i'd just been paid and it would last me. Plus it was a sale item, i wouldn't have paid £50. Also it was an impulse buy, i was on ASOS looking for xmas list ideas. I didn't put this on my list as i didn't want to wait for it, i had to have it. I literally was on and off the website in 10 mins and bought something, i saw SALE and was immedietly hooked

The immodesty theory suggests in simple terms, that clothes are a way of drawing attention to certain parts of the body. As i intend on only wearing my studded cross bra under this see-through jumper, i guess in some respects i'm drawing attention to myself and am certainly not purchasing modestly and practically.

I also have never heard of this brand before, but as the products were among brand i love such as Westwood and Cheap Monday and presumed it was a similar sort of brand.

In the spirit of buying less, i recently customised one of my old jackets by cutting off the sleeves and using it as a gilet over the top of a contrast shiny american apparel varsity jacket. I've had loads of compliments which is funny seeing as it took me all of 2 mins to change. I've also started wearing my shirts as skirt things over skinny jeans. The whole sustainable concept also taps onto the real vs ideal self. Ideally i would like to be a sustainable and ethically conscious person. I'm definelty starting to tap into my greener side even though i want every peice of clothing under the sun.

Westwood x Customised jacket.

My girlfriend got a £500 coat and all i got were these lousy socks...

On sunday i went to Liberty's and Vivienne Westwood with my gf as she wanted to get a winter coat. Long story short we ended up on Conduit St in Vivienne Westwood looking at coats. Whilst she was doing her thing i wondered round and found some really nice Westwood socks, i didn't even think twice about the price, i saw £20 and was happy paying that for the Westwood orb on my socks. If they weren't branded there is no way i would have got them, of course subconsciously/consciously i chose the ones with the most obvious branding. To put it bluntly, wearing Vivienne Westwood makes me feel better and i feel higher up in societal terms. If people asked me for my fav brands, i would say Westwood even though i own little of it. I would prefer to say Westwood even though i mostly shop vintage. It makes me seem more fashion conscious.

After i left it actually hit me that i paid £20 for socks, uhhh. I literally do not have that money to spare on a pair of socks. What was i thinking. They will look cute with my creepers though. slaassssh now i'm very poor and stressing about money. Do Westwood do returns? ha

This purchase has a lot to do with the theory of self and more specifically my public self and how others perceive me/how i would like them to perceive me. I definitely got them to flash the orb around.
