Fashion rules to break, maybe?

You know, I'm not sure how I feel about making a post like this. I don't feel like I have any authority or place in telling you what to do with your life. These will just be a few observations I have made in my dress sense today. When you're not going to school, and therefore not sprinting out of your house at top speed every morning, you gain some free time to really look at what you're wearing.
This is not always a good thing, as today I have realised that my outfit today makes absolutely no sense.

Jacket:Secondhand, Cardigan:H&M, Top:Sydney markets, Collar:Trademe, Shorts:Etsy, Socks:Topshop (they have sheep on them okay) Shoes:Dr Martens

Is it wanky to do these little caption things? I don't know. Whatever, I'm committing now.

 

The first rule to break today is the opressive idea of having different sets of clothes for winter and summer. Is it the kind of day where it's a happy medium between hot and cold? Then feel free to chuck on a fur coat with your short shorts. Especially when the coat in question is a $7 masterpiece from a second hand store in Wanganui. (Or Whanganui to some.. I don't even know anymore)
This kind of look is the best of both worlds (hi Hannah Montana) for me because I carry all my fat/insulation in my bottom half, but my upper half is a little baby wimp in the cold. As much as this clothing combination doesn't make sense, it would make even less sense for me to own a matching pair of fur cow print pants to go with this jacket. Although that would be amazing.
I don't think I'll rule that out, actually.

The second rule to break is the one that says your cardigan should be on the right way up. I beg to differ-- Cardigans are so much more fun when you put them on upside down. Not only do they look more fun, but it's also fun to challenge yourself to try to do your buttons up. This is a great thing, you can pretend your cardigan is a whole new item, and a much more artsy fartsy one at that.

I reckon I could make a whole series on "things that Tess wears that don't really make sense if you think about them for longer than 20 seconds" but I feel as though that would be exhausting. Not to mention a bit eye opening in the word possible sense of the term.

P.S. The next post is going to be mega fabrics chat. Like, MEGA fabrics chat. It's kinda good to have a little bit of an outcome after being holed up in your sewing room for two straight days.

P.P.S. Quote of the day:
Me: Yeah I don't think I trust anyone that doesn't do fabrics
My sewing teacher: Yes, yes, perfectly understandable.
The hilarity of this lies in how serious we both were. Or maybe it just wasn't hilarious to begin with. I don't even know any more.
