 S.M.L.&p[summary]=Summary)
Here’s a good tip for you: if you can’t decide whether or not to buy new clothes, just think about the fashion icon whose look you aspire to, and then ask yourself if she/he would but that particular piece of clothing. This system worked well for me throughout my university years, which is why I looked like Steve Buscemi most of the time.
But then my priorities changed when I started becoming obsessed with the idea of a possible zombie apocalypse, and then I started asking a different question: Can I run in it? Today when I struggle with whether or not to buy a certain dress or a cute pair of shoes, the determining factor of that item making it into my wardrobe is entirely dependent on whether or not I can comfortably flee for my life in it while carrying a sledgehammer and a backpack filled with military rations.
If you’ve read my articles on Fashionese Daily, then you have probably figured out that I’m a big, big fan of function–sometimes at the cost of form. But that’s why I enjoy the fashion world: it’s full of a lot of beautiful things that can be considered frilly and cumbersome, but you can always play around with different elements so you have both form and function. This is also why I really like Noir, the exclusive line from (X) S. M. L. because it’s a line that offers both.
