Fashion Foward

Lately I've been very fashion foward(uh, this thingy says I'm spelling foward wrong...am I idk. I've been looking at magazines, and I've noticed that all fashion magazines and the designer ads they put in are so...oh, I don't know-OUT THERE!!! I mean, the clothes and bags and accessories that are put in those ads and what the magazines tell you is "fashionable" and "in" is not something a normal person would wear out and about town, right? And even the April issue of Seventeen magazine has a section on Street Style and almost all of the outfits featured I would not wear to school or to the mall. And I even think that some of the girls in that section are models and not everyday people! All these crazy colors and prints and textures are all a little bit W-O-W, in a bad way, but maybe that's just me. I'm more of the beach-y type when it comes to fashion where it's just tees and tunics and jeans, I love jeans-to the extreme, I don't know what I would do without them, and flip flops.
But, what's funny is that even though I hate what outfits magazines come out with, sometimes, I really appreciate famous people because they're style is so original and polished and just perfect. I understand that they might have stylists and "people" to pick out pieces for them, but the stylists usually don't make their everyday outfits-or do they? I don't know. I love how Lauren Conrad can pull of a plain white shirt and dark washed skinny jeans and look so damn cute and collected and awesome!!! I guess the wayfarers over her eyes and the belt and the cute bag plays a huge part over the over all look and that's why I respect Lauren Conrad. She can put together these simple outfits by putting the right accessories-and knowing how many to use! She's amazing at that. I, on the other hand, am a total accessory drop out because I wear nothing, NOTHING. No earrings, no necklace, no anything! If Lauren Conrad saw what I wore to school she'd die right on the front steps of my high school. (laughing :)
