I am back and ready to blog.
NYC is buzzing with so much art and fashion right now it is in SANE. I have been out on the music scene checking out different bands and venues at least once a week and in doing so I have been checking out fashion as well. I can tell you that anything goes right now seriously and the 90s are back especially on the lower east side.
Circa "My So-Called Life" 1996 (um LOVE it!!)
But let's face it, the 90's never really left the LES. Plaid shirts, high waist shorts, Dr. Martens, and that "I am so pained by the world yet I am so over it look" will not be leaving any time soon.
And listen, I love the look just as much as anyone else, although I feel some take the layers thing a little far...to each his own right? I feel like subconsciously I dress a little differently depending on which area of the city I am going to. Anyone else feel that way?
Going to the Upper West Side, one may want to dress a little more polished and put together or more of a "dandy" preppy look; whereas walking through Soho I would totally grab some skinny jeans and a fitted tank or over-sized tee. And the west village makes me want to wear a cute casual dress and go to brunch!
Different areas put you in different moods and make you want to look a certain way.
New York City is a place of endless expression and that is one of the reasons I love it so much. You can seriously walk down the street with a scuba mask, neon tights, and tennis shoes and you won't get much of a double take from anybody.
So don't be afraid to express yourself out there New Yorkers! Or New Yorkers at heart. :)
That's right Hipster dude I'm talking to you too.
