Runway MY Way
All White....NOT!
So anyone that knows me, knows I'm random and sometimes people do not get me which is fine because there is always a method to my madness. With that being said I have to share my plight with the color WHITE.
Now do not get me wrong I have basic white stuff like tanks, tees....shoot I even have a white sandal or two, but there is just something about the color white that I do not mesh well with. 1) It gets dirty faster than you can blink. 2) although its a neutral color that is made to go with everything it does not have personality to me. White is just dry. 3) last, but certainly not least white is a color that requires way too much attention. Depending on what type of piece it is more than likely you'll have to do layering of some sort regardless if its a slip or tank and paying more attention to your undergarments is a necessity when white is involved. RME. Too much work. Aside from that I've just never liked white nor really owned it. Whenever white is an option I always go for the runner up. Simple as that.
It's funny because the other day while I was getting ready for work I decided to wear a white button up (I literally only own one). Sadly, some of my concealer accidentally fell on it and there went that shirt. At the time, I hadn't worn it in eons and I guess it will be another few eons before I decide to wear it again. I know what your thinking, "Why would you put makeup on with a white shirt?" Well believe it or not I'm pretty careful when applying my makeup and hardly ever get any on my clothes. I was not so lucky this time and I can't help but think it has something to do with me wearing this damn white. It was not meant to be.
Ne wayz, I am attending an all white party tonight and I had THE ONLY issue trying to find a fit. I'm a defiant individual so I do not follow many rules especially when it comes to fashion. I can count on how many fingers I've actually worn all white to an all white party. Zero. Last weekend I went to an all white party and wore grey, black, royal blue with hints of white. Lol.
I just really do not do all white; however, for this party tonight I had a set vision to wear a white skirt. Not because I wanted to follow the rules just because I had an idea in my head of the fit I wanted and it included a white skirt. Shrugs.
The sucky thing about my creative mind is that I can easily come up with a fit, palette, etc for myself and anyone else within a matter of minutes, but usually when it comes to looks for me I never have all the pieces. Therefore, finding the right pieces becomes a very trying process. I get stuck altering my ideas and what not which blows. Basically my mind is telling me to become a designer because I'm always creating things that are not there. lol.
That's neither here nor there, my point is I have an all white party to go to and finding a fit was extremely difficult. I hate being like everyone else. I take individuality pretty seriously. An all white party theme definitely limits clothing options by half. There are not many places to get original white pieces. With that being said you can guarantee everyone is pretty much going to hit up the same spots. No bueno. That's what made this process very hard. Between the limitations, my individuality, and me being slightly bourgeoisie. I couldn't just get any old thing to wear.
I finally found a skirt, but its FAR from the vision in my head, but desperate times definitely called desperate measures so I had no choice. Obviously you know I will not be wearing all white tonight I will be a representation of 4th of July - red, white and blue (navy instead of royal). I will post pics later on, but the more I sit here and think about the outfit that I am not in love with, but the outfit I will grow to like enough to wear, I cant help but think how much I truly just dislike white.
Oh well,
Happy 4th of July Luvs I hope everyone has a great day!
