On the up: Creating your own style
On the down: Following trends
Miin finds the most fantastic things online. *Clever Miiiin*
Among them is THE COVETED which is fabulously fashionable and doesn't succumb to crap fly-by trends or big boring commercial brands. She posts all these cute outfits that she wears, comments on trends, mixes independent/vintage with brands, and writes about great little shopping, style and art finds in her area.
Then, that led me THIS which is EVEN MORE CUTE. Spins me into total overdrive looking at crazy photos of what people are wearing and it is SO EXCITING to see people wearing COLOURS! (because all you ever see in KL are boring girls wearing black tops and jeans) I'm hyperventilating into my flowered handbag.
After working for the magazine industry, which is totally, entirely, 100% slaves to their advertisers, it is so damn nice to read something that promotes style for style and not because they've signed a fat deal with a demanding client.
There's lots of being
creative
kooky
cute
layered
colourful
weird
experimental
and and and most importantly,
not giving a damn whether what they're wearing is "in fashion" or not. (Man, even that term is so damn overbaked and very unfashionable)
The people in these photos even have amazing hair (as opposed to the overkill of long, straight, rebonded hair here). Malaysians really really really super duper need to take a look at these sites to realise that there exists more than just their single definition of style.
*SO DELIGHTED*
