i contemplate the day we wed, your clothes are boring me to death.
the look above me is very simple, no? perhaps boring?
boring, simple, uncreative or whatever you may call it, i lust for the look. not just that look in particular, but the whole simple look in general. i went shopping today and i came home and now i plan on returning all the things i bought, except the calvin klein undies and a dior show mascara. for a second i thought i lost my interest in clothes. i'm in a pretty frustrating situation right now because i can't seem to find anything that i want to wear. yes, the clothes i saw at the mall today are appealing but i don't want to wear them- weird huh? anyone ever been in this kind of situation also? a simple loose fitting white top paired off with a nice pair of black skinnies (perhaps in leather) sound really appealing to me right now and i know most people are probabaly thinking- 'how boringggg'. maybe this is some kind of a "fashion block" as in like the "writer's block"

on to my new bikini obsession- calvin klein. the acidic colors used in this swimsuit seem like they've rusted or something- i loveee it.

and how about them luella leather pants? i wish i lived in the 80s so i could wear them to a guns n' roses concert.

I like the "boring" style actually. Well, I think it's good to take some time off to dress up or to amaze other people with fancy clothes and eye-catching accessories cos in the end, you are the one who decide it. Just wear what you want, that make you most comfortable with. And flaunt it!
I like the "boring" style too, some call is classic, plus then it allows your personality to be the main accessory...which is awesome.
(personality or a killer orange hand bag, you can choose)
I don't think you've lost your fashion touch...I think you've just reach a turning point in your fashion career....there is something very appealing about clean lines and simplisity...in fact sometimes its harder to make simple look chic...so don't worry I'm sure it will all work out.....when you stary wearing crocs that's when I'll get worried
Yes I recognise that! I have those days that I don't put any effort in dressing up. And that I can be very happy with wearing a skinny, shirt and vest. I don't think it's boring at all!
Instead of boring you can use an euphemism, and say clean style. It sounds better, doesn't it? ;)
a) i totally know what you mean by fashion block
b) WHERE ARE THOSE LEATHER TROUSERS FROM
if you refuse you may not wake the following morning
i love the leather trousers, where are they from? i must get them before alanna. it is a huge war between us for leather trousers. i know what you mean about the 'boring' fashion. sometimes i just wish to be dressed simply,in bootcut jeans and a plain tshirt. the problem is that as soon as i am dressed in my simple outfit i will see someone dressed all hippy/80's (my trademark look) and wish to be dressed like that again. it's a vicious cycle.
you are at a desirable point of your development.. i wish i was able to convince myself to get back to simple and sleek again but everytime i try i find myself too boring and start all over again. that can be pretty tiring u know? it's my inner drive to stand out and at last: i am trying too hard
christ i wish those leather pants were mine.
and all those outfits are pure unadulterated sex.
i know what you mean...and jesus those leather pants are just amazing xx
They are not boring? They are beautiful looks, all silhouette and awesome shapes. Those leather pants are amazing.
hey, nice post!! i love the chanel outfits, not sure about the calvin klein though, i'm not a fan of the yellow thing. chanel will always be perfect, i think! klein's swimwear on the other hand is a different matter- that's hot stuff i want! sarissa x
if thats how you feel then i must be the most boring person alive... loose white tee and dark skinnies is all i wear nowadays... of course it doesnt help that i just moved to a tropical island that forbids any kind of layering... but as someone has mentioned before.. a killer bag/shoes/accessories helps... A LOT... or rather.. think of it as a palette to showoff your bag/shoes/accessoories... ;)
I wouldn't consider that style boring, just very simple and comfortable. I think we all wish we didn't have to wear heels and make up...we are all looking to act and look like that.
i like it. It has a nice clean and classic feel to it. And the best thing? you don't have to worry if you can pull of flashy prints and all that.
blackand white and simplistic dressing are ALWAYS in style, so don't fret.
I can comiserate with your fashion block, but I don't think you should call the style "boring". It definitely has that classic appeal -- effortless elegance, if you will.
MINIMALISM.
Its my love.
im pretty sure i cant top that awesome first comment so i wont even try
It's not boring! I love the simple look, though I've grown out of it. I'm sure everyone's had a fashion block before. When I did, I just wore black tops, jeans and flats, then load on accessories. Don't worry, you'll find your way out of your block soon!
It does sound a bit like you're having fashion block, I think its possible to get that when you've been buying too many new clothes and the novelty factor has worn off.
When this happenes to me, I get all of my clothes out of wardrobe, scrutinising them, asking why I don't wear half of it, and pairing pieces together that I would never have considered, its amazing how much better you can feel about your clothes once you do this!
S xx
PS, I think the leather trousers idea is good, not at all boring. Rather brave haha.
I'M GOING THROUGH THE EXACT SAME THING!! A complete fashion block! Nothing looks appealing....strange stuff
love those leather pants!
somedays i feel like being boring and sticking to simple clothes and otheres i want to stand out more. i do a bit bored with minimalism though i have to say.
i'm in the same situation as you. it's hard to find something to dress these days, there is too much offer to choose from.
cya,

Btw, wow does anybody know those ankle boots are from (in the first picture)? they are amazing
i want some leather pants
that couple wins in awesomeness
To be honest, I've been studying fashion so long that I never really gave alot of thought to my own clothing...I've been a Black&White sort of girl for years....Now that I think about it, that's what suits me best. I feel awkward in things with too much color or prints.
Maybe we're weird?
-B
I loooove that Emilio Pucci bikini...! At net-a-porter they are selling similar ones too in all kinds of different colors and styles.
So cute!
J'agree. I'm calling it anti-fashion fashion, as in a backlash to all this in-yer-face fashion we've been subjected to lately. I don't want the same It-bag, Prada turban and Marc shoes as everyone else so I'm doing my own thing and giving 'fashon' a sabatical! Just make sure you have good hair (and a pretty face doesn't hurt either).
I completely understand u when you said evrything appeals you but you dont feel you want to wear then... same happens to me when I go shopping (since a while)... I find a lot of interesting things but I end up coming back home with just nothing... I know clearly what I want but dont find it
