*Soundtrack of the Minute - Drake Thank Me Later (leaked album...don't judge me)**I
was recently informed that my outfits come off as 'attention seeking'. Now, to me, that holds strong negative connotations. It triggers an image of a girl standing on top of a chair in a board meeting full of civilised individuals, begging to be noticed. I don't think I'm like that at all...infact, I don't really LIKE getting attention, I just like dressing up. YES! I wear bright coloured tights and head candy the size of a Lady at a Horse racing shindig, but if I think that's what it takes to round up my outfit, then so be it. The person MAY be reading this with a quizzical expression, completely baffled because I've taken the comment out of context...but its cos I've heard it all before and just thought to clarify. I don't want to be the centre of attention, neither do I want to pose like an animated character in a multicoloured striped jumper that jumps off the page a la Wolly!In the words of Drake, "I'm doing me"
Anyway, this season I've rekindled my passion for accessories and statement pieces. As you will notice from the first few pics, I fell in love with fancy footwear! From bright coloured leggings to ripped, more edgier ones. I dunno what it is about legs that's deemed 'sexy' (as is evident from SATC2), but my policy has always been show ONE! Whether its legs or chest, show one. Well...anyway, I digress...
