9 in the Afternoon

So as I listened to 9 in the afternoon by Pan!c at the Disco, one of their lyrics struck me. While I sat in an pathetically padded office chair and the lyric 'loosing the feeling, of feeling unique' traversed through my mind I thought of not who I was, but more importantly what I was wearing. I sat there in one of Riccardo Tisci's most iconic floral prints, I realized that what I was wearing was completely bereft of originality and novelty. That this very shirt that I was wearing has been on countless, 'swag' and 'hype' blogs and tumblrs alike. That the shirt I am wearing, is coveted by the very same people that idolize Kanye West & Wiz Khalifa. I believe the elated state of my facial expression depicts quite accurately how I feel being associated with 'swag' & 'hype'.

Shirt - Givenchy Spring/Summer 2012

Shorts - Thrift

Socks - Black

Shoes - Salvatore Ferragamo

I am going to finish of this post with another lyric from 9 in the Afternoon. "You could, 'cause you can, so you do".  And thats exactly what I did, I could buy it, so I can buy it, so I did buy it. And to be completely honest I don't regret one single penny, yes its common, but its even more beautiful. Now if only I could get my hands on one of those shark tees.

Honestly, I couldn't find a gif that would in any way be relevant to this post. Well I suppose if you would like me to shut up the above gif would apply, but I surely hope that isn't the case.

Shirt - Jeremy Scott x Adidas Originals

Jacket - Vintage Bomber from Paris

Pants - Margiela x H&M

Necklace - Vintage Givenchy Costume Jewelry

I am sure that many of you have noticed the vast repertoire of back drops I 'shoot' in front of. Pictured above is the hallways that leads from my kitchen, past a bathroom & into the mud room. Its a very exotic location if you ask me. 

The top part of my outfit was inspired by someone who had a black leather jacket and the same shirt as me. So its not blatant copying its simply 'inspiration', or so I hope. Now in respects to what Im actually wearing, Im just going to talk about my jacket. For the past couple years or so, the only place I ever seemed to buy my jackets were in Europe. For some reason I had always had an inability to find jackets I liked here in Canada. Probably because I had milked out ever H&M and Zara from about the time I was 14-16. I no longer take part in shopping there, except for the designer collaborations. They always seem to hit the nail on the head with those. The main reason to my boycott of fast fashion is simply because its better to support ethical labour and yada yada yada. And also because its more fun to buy stuff from other stores, that people most likely wont have. Like my jacket Im wearing ! My jacket I bought in a vintage store in Le Marais in Paris. It sort of reminds me of something the early Michael Jackson would wear, Im not too sure why though. I was never really a fan of him, but I am just assuming he would own a piece like this. 

Okay I am going to go draft a pleated gusset, yay. 

good night !
