And Now For Something Completely Different
Apparently it's going to be 20 degrees this weekend. What the fuck. I was swimming at Bondi last week for chrissakes. I'm not ready to open that drawer in my tallboy yet.
So yesterday I was thinking I want to do the cliche that is skinny jeans and boots. Now, I abhor cliches, I abhor stupid catchcries like "what's hot now! what you need to wear now! the look for the season!" - even if I like them (rarely) I won't wear it out of principle. And Sydney is home to the what's-hot-now uniform.
So skinny jeans and boots have been the Sydney winter uniform for years now but right now it's actually the mood I'm in. A bit of black and a bit of fuck you. A bit of tall and lean and I so won't look like that sheep in the corner. Dark black ones, with a black turtleneck and keep it simple.
You know, something like this (and no I make no illusion to thinking I'm Angelina):
Oh and I'd pay $50 max.

ditto for the london winter uniform, but I say wear exactly what you feel like at any given time and that will set you apart from the sheep!
I would kill for 20 degrees right now. Where the hell is spring? I want to wear my new sandals and a skirt!
'Skinny jeans and boots' is one of my favourite looks- particularly when lots of black is involved.
People only look like prats in fashion "cliches" when they wear the trendy items without style or personality- I'm sure you won't have that problem.
You guys rock - I'll give it a go then and report back. I know there's a pair of jeans turned skinny because I can't say no to cheese, so I'll see how they go.
skinny jeans? FFS!!
I'm not talking to you,
I'm deleting your number from my phone and your email address from my address book.
See ya ;-)
Haha you'll be back, especially when you're bored (so see you in 20!)
