This past school year I have had many comments on the things I wear. Most of the time they are positive because someone things something I have is cool, but there are occasions when I get not so nice comment from "people" that maybe used to be a friend and there friends. To give an example some of the negative things are.
❤ You look homeless and your backpack is disgusting. I use three different school bags to school depending on the day and how many books I am carrying. On this day in particular I had my mother's 17-19 year old leather with different earthtone patches from Mexico. I think it's adorable.
❤ "Your hair is so greasy I would dip it in my fries" (I actually think this one is silly because the person who said does not take care of her own hair very well and I washed my hair the night before this was said)
❤Sometimes someone will tell a close friend of mine that they don't like about what I'm wearing( Might mean they are too afraid to say to my face) for example I had on some mary janes the day before I'm writing this (here's a photo) and my best friend repeated that this girl thinks my shoes are ugly and very old lady grandma( I find this ironic since an older woman in her 70s who is an avid shoe collector said "they were very cute and wishes she was younger so that she could wear them as well. Funny huh? Also the friend that repeated this that day was wearing a black dress with flowers on it and told her it was cute. Meaning this girl just doesn't like me and tries to find ways to hurt me. NO WAY IS IT GOING TO WORK.
Anyway enough with the insults that's for a different post on a different day. So I have been told I dress like a grandmother. I have a hard time guessing when people say this if they are being mean or just trying to give an example. Sometimes it can be a little hurtful like you are being rejected for looking this certain way, and other times a nice comment is added to the "you remind me of a grandma" thing and it's nice. These are somethings I wear that have a vintage feel or grandma feel to them.
❤My growing collection of cameos I usually wear one everyday
❤ Lace every thing. Yes whether it's socks, details in tops ,or even undies. I will have a lace something in my outfit.
I have these I just didn't have my own photo.
❤Old Fashion shoes. Shoes are my favorite clothing piece. The first thing I notice about a person are their shoes.
These are some men's dress shoes I thrifted.
❤ Florals and pastels. I try to surround myself with bright and happy things and flowers prints make me very happy so I incorporate them in my outfits. The pastels I just love and remind me of springtime and baby animals on a Easter Sunday. If that makes any sense.
To conclude this I am not crying over mean comments from people who are very anti-social and wouldn't know fashion or hygiene if it became their best friend and married them. By the way I get many nice comments( thank you to all those kind people you are very nice) on my vintage or vintage inspired things so a few sour grapes once in a while are not so bad. I just wanted to type about it. Oh and tell me whether or not being told you dress like a grandmother is mean or not?
