Neo-Homeless

Yui inspired me to give myself a motto for a new round of the fashion-shopping circus I will dedicate myself to. And just a few days ago we had a conversation in which I blubbed about how I want to look less polished and calculated, but much more fucked up. Always wanted to!

So for me, my summer style will be all about sloppy fitting clothing, more flow, long skirts, warped proportions, eccentric mish-mash and dingy flaws.

Since I have to give it some name, too, and it will be fun to have something concrete to try to follow thru, my motto for summer therefore will be Neo-Homeless.

Summmm ideas..

It is supposed to be a still loose concept, flexible enough to add or drop whatever element I think fit. The modern grunge-style, so perfectly impersonated by MK Olsen for an instance, has often been denounced as homeless-style. I know, in my last post I indirectly distanced myself from that grunge-hype. However, with my idea of neo-homeless I want to involve lots more colors (vs. all black), shabby footwear (vs. fierce high heels) and a well measured amount of femininity (vs. tomboyish-ness) while keeping the androgyny (what else could I boobs-less girl do hahaha). Plus a lot of hair spray.

Did I tell you that I am a real emo at heart!?

By pure chance, I came across my idea of a perfect outfit for my new style-scheme on Dropsnap just yesterday. That washed out, loose sweater, the colors and proportions totally sold me on this. Her hair is wicked, too. Let's bundle up for summer!!!
Haha, I am a bit amused about myself for coming up with "neo-homeless".

My Music can explain me better.

I seem to have the oppersite problwm to you, I spend my whole life looking like a bloddy tramp! Love that picture of the girl beneath the tree with the ripped tights, as she still seems to look so elegant, event thpugh at the same time she looks as if she has thrown herself off of a bike.

I like the fact that you're trying to draw a line between the modern-grunge-MK-Erin-Wasson hype and a more playful, colourful yet relaxed and similar casual look. All I along I have understood that you enjoy the more loose and drapind looks, a bit random yet effortlessly elegant in contrary to a more polished look. So Neo-Homeless sounds just perfect! Can't wait for your ideas and outfits this Summer!
