fashion and such: project 1

So buying clothes have kind of been a hobby of mine. For some reason I can not think of a time when I haven't had the urge to buy new clothing. And so this a blog about the clothes I wear and how I view fashion.

"The terms "fashionable" and "unfashionable" are employed to describe whether someone or something fits in with the current or even not so current, popular mode of expression. The term "fashion" is frequently used in a positive sense, as a synonym for glamour, beauty and style. In this sense, fashions are a sort of communal art, through which a culture examines its notions of beauty and goodness. The term "fashion" is also sometimes used in a negative sense, as a synonym for fads and trends, and materialism."

So with those thoughts in mind I realized that there was no need to fork out a benjamen for something I could find that would look and fit similar to that 100 dollar piece of clothing. So here are some things I found in my closet that didn't cost me a bundle, but could most likely have someone believing i spent more on it.

Me.

note: i freaking love urban outfitters. so this is in no way a bash on urban cause half my clothes is from there, but I'm just making the point that you can find cheaper clothing that look and feel the same as the pricey kind that eats away at your recent paycheck.
