It's only a matter of time before one feels burnt out after years of assembling moderately acceptable outfits for almost every single errand ever completed, including visits to the grocery store and doctor's office. I wish I could say "Fooled you! I actually wear sweatpants everywhere I go because I like the way they feel against my skin." but I just can't, unless we're talking about a marvellous pair of Helmut Lang or Alexander Wang sweats that stand out in a crowd of conventionally no name sweats. You will not be frowned upon if you choose to slip on a very simply styled and basic outfit. It doesn't make your outfit any less special. It just means you are more comfortable with blending into a crowd of people. You don't need a print, or a deconstructed Margiela sweater (though it would be a great piece to have for every other day of the week). All of the ingredients to a minimalistic outfit include; a shirt, pair of jeans and good pair of shoes. It's that simple. Oh, and maybe a belt or string or extension cord or combination of anything of the three to keep your baggy jeans in line with your waist.
An elegantly dazzling pair of shoes can enhance an outfit by this much (holding my hands apart to about 1 metre), though it's important to calculate how long your feet are needed for particular errands. If you have a lot of running around to do, it's suggested to wear more comfortably fitted walking shoes as oppose to 5 inch heels like I did down below. I'm a lady of leisure, what can I say?
As for my baggy Levis jeans (discovered in the mens section of course), the general public didn't seem to take a liking to my choice in bottoms as I did a small but accurately assessed analysis of the visual and verbal yays and nays disclosed by random civilians who attended last week's Grove fest. The results of the analysis includes oddly distinguishable interpretations of how I appeared, being an oompa loompa from Charlie and the Chocolate Factor or a yearning female rapper who chants about on Gucci, Fendi and Prada (In that order specifically). I guess when one's haircut somewhat resembles a bowl/lego doll/Amelie (At one point in time multiple people have made these comparisons) and willingly dresses in baggy parachute jeans, the chances of someone "liking" the entire ensemble is very slim. But then again Ms Poulain is more of a compliment than anything else. That being said if it feels right, wear it and if it feels right but apparently looks "wrong", still wear it. I'm going to give these pants the freedom to do what they will because there's no point meddling with something wonderful. Don't you agree?
