When it comes to fashion I change my mind all the time.
Okay one day I might love something might be a staple my wardrobe a year later I might absolutely despise it and on the other hand I might hate something Absolutely hate it say I will never ever ever wear that and then two years later.
Okay, you know what?
I might give it a try.
I will say the older I get the more Consistent I am with my fashion preferences the more Secure I feel in my fashion identity, you know, these things become more solid the older you get however, I am still Evolving I have not arrived at any sort of fashion conclusion in my life I still have more experimenting
to do So today I thought it'd be fun to share with you how my fashion preferences have changed over the years Specifically the last few years I'm gonna share with you stuff that I used to like and now I dislike and I'm gonna share with you stuff that I used to Dislike and now I like and we're gonna discuss
why Okay, let's start with stuff that I used to like and now I dislike number one high water pants If you don't know what a high water is, I don't know is it sort of like a slang term I don't even know it's it's the nickname for pants that are a little bit too short Okay, I would say the most popular
Average length for pants is pants that either go all the way to the floor or a little bit above that That's sort of the average pant length, right high waters are a little bit shorter than that they come up to Right above the ankle bone.
Okay, and I used to love high waters.
I thought they were so flattering on me I thought they were the only way to wear pants every time I'd buy a pair of jeans I would cut the bottoms off so that they were high waters I was obsessed with this length.
I don't know Why but I just thought it was the cutest bestest way to wear pants, okay And you know the way I'd style it is I'd usually wear either a little boot or like a high top Converse so that you'd be able to see more of the shoe with the high water pant or you could see the sock like if I was wearing
like a loafer you could see more of the sock and Then one day I was getting dressed like I feel like I can remember the day was one day I was getting dressed and I was like wait, this doesn't really look that good.
It kind of makes my legs look short and It doesn't work with every pair of shoes, which I mean in the defense of high water pants Like no pair of pants looks good with every shoe But I just I don't know I got sick of the high water pant I was like this actually doesn't work for me anymore and then I
had to donate all of my high water pants and Start building a collection of pants that are normal length cut off at the ankle or at the floor And I don't know.
I just I think the high water is very Specific it's very stylized like it's a bit more trendy maybe and I still think it's cute like I still think it can be cute, but I Don't really love it anymore, you know it to me it's less timeless It's more trendy like pants that cut off at the ankle or at the floor or just
it's a timeless Tailoring, you know what I mean?
And to me? It's more flattering as well Like I think high water pants actually shorten your legs in a way and that's the realization I had like for some reason I thought they were making my legs look longer and they were actually making my legs look shorter I don't know how that happened.
I don't know anyway, but I'm not into high water pants anymore I probably still own you know, it's funny I don't like high water pants anymore if they're right above the ankle bone But I actually do like them if they're more of a capri length, but at that point that's just a capri So it doesn't really
count high water is like longer than a capri.
I don't anyway. I don't like high waters anymore Okay, next we have crop tops I'm really Really over a crop top like I don't know if I'll ever wear a crop top again And it's wild because I was really dedicated to crop tops for a really long time I don't think I owned a regular length shirt and this could also be
sort of The journey from being a teenager to now being a young adult This could just be maturing like there's something about being a tween or you're like I need to show my belly button off I have to like it I don't know you just You have this desire to feel mature and showing a bit more skin can sometimes
do that even if it's just like a tiny bit Of your midriff, but it's like I don't know psychologically It can feel exciting and riveting and then the older you get you're like I want to be able to go to dinner and be a little bloated in like not I Just don't need everyone to like I want thing I want
to feel covered up like if feeling covered up is appealing again crop tops are Incredibly uncomfortable, but also I just don't like the look of midriff as much anymore Don't get me wrong like I still think showing skin is fun but there's something like not appealing or You know when like you look at an outfit
and you're like, oh that just feels satisfying There's something about showing midriff to me.
That's just not satisfying anymore And if I'm gonna show skin, I'm gonna show something else these days I don't know like I'm gonna show a bunch of leg or Show a bunch of arm.
I'm just not excited about midriff anymore.
Like it's just Or is it midriffed or is it midriff?
I don't let's find out It's midriff and I've been saying midriffed midriff.
I'm not into it There's something so chic so classic and so flattering about a full -length shirt And I don't know these days.
I'm just finding Absolutely zero occasion where a crop top makes sense.
It just never looks as good as a full length top looks Okay, next we have something that I used to be obsessed with and now I absolutely can't Stand I which is so funny because this used to be like a staple in my wardrobe Platform shoes I I cannot stand them now.
I'm sorry. And again, if you love platform shoes, this is not about you This is about me wearing platform shoes.
Okay. I hate them on me.
I Used to like them because they made my legs look super long Which is something that I'm noticing as a theme here like the high water pants the crop tops The platform shoes all of these things are things that I used to like because of how I felt like they made me look Like I like the high water pants
because I felt like they made my legs look long I like the crop tops because it made me feel more mature because I was showing my midriff and it like was whatever The platform shoes I felt like made my legs look longer I think I used to dress in a more vain sort of way like I was using clothes to express
myself But also to flatter me in a certain way and create some sort of illusion which I'm less interested in now So it's interesting that a lot of these things are no longer intriguing to me I think because my priorities in fashion have changed.
I'm less concerned about How my body looks and more concerned about like the outfit itself with or without me in it and the vibe that it gives off Not really how it makes me look.
I mean listen, I still want to look good, but let's say that used to be 60 % of My vision when getting dressed in the morning now, it's like 25.
I think I care a bit less about How my body looks which is great.
Thank God cuz you know Being obsessed with how your body looks and something can be a fucking nightmare Like now I'm less concerned about that and what a relief that is.
Anyway platform shoes.
I felt like they made me look taller Legs look longer.
I just felt longer and it just felt more flattering to me to be honest Like platform shoes to me are the epitome of trendy.
I mean listen, do I think that there are some platform shoes that are?
timeless Probably I can't think of them.
I genuinely can't think of them.
I I don't I Don't know.
I think they're just so extreme They're also so challenging to wear that it makes sense to me that they're trendy because they're not They're not easy to integrate into your routine Which is to me the greatest sign of something being a trend only is if it's like not efficient You know what I mean?
It's not easy to integrate into your style as your style evolves, right?
Like a classic pair of black flats I mean you can sell those a trillion bazillion different ways like your style can evolve in those can arguably stay in your rotation, whereas like a White gogo platform boot or like a platform pair of sneakers makes such a loud statement It's harder to take those with you
through your style evolution.
They're just Too trendy and I look at them now and I just think that they look kind of silly Like I cringe at platform shoes for the most part I just think that they look goofy like anytime I see a platform shoe I'm like that shoe would look better if it just wasn't a platform, you know what I mean?
Like for example like a platform sneaker a normal flat 1 -inch max sole sneaker looks so much better and more classic and more timeless Then like a platform, you know what I'm saying?
I don't know. I don't like the platform anymore We'll see if I ever like it again.
It's possible, but I actually doubt it Next we have anything with a logo on it.
I've slowly but surely Gotten to a point where I don't want any logo on anything Not even like a teeny tiny little logo like I want no logo and I think it's because of the way that logos can distract from the outfit like where something's from Has a narrative of its own, you know Like a logo has a narrative
of its own Which I don't like I feel like that can take away from the narrative of the outfit as a whole and what the person Who put the outfit together wants to say with the outfit.
I feel like the logo and where clothing is from basically takes the narrative that you wanted to speak with your outfit and It now makes it about the brand that you're wearing as well and what their narrative is and listen That is also cool in a way like there's something cool about that too And I am
somebody who respects the art of the designer brand like I used to Shit on it left and right I've come to appreciate it and you know See the art in it when there is art to be seen, you know Like I I'm not gonna just shit on designer brick.
Like I I get it I'm not a hater anymore, you know as I was when I was like 1617 I get it However, I don't know like I'm not in a place in my life where I want the brand I'm wearing to speak for me right like there are certain brands that when you wear them It says something about you in a way like if you
wear Gucci, for example, I feel like Gucci Sort of tells a story about the person who's wearing Gucci I feel like I think of somebody who's loud and in outgoing and bright and passionate and Hard -headed if I see somebody wearing Prada I think of somebody who's a bit more demure a bit more soft a bit
more Thoughtful a bit more poetic, you know, like by the way, this is bullshit Like what is it actually but that's what I think of when I see these brands, right?
Because of the identity that these brands have created and I think that that's cool because if you want to say that about yourself then Wear a Prada bag and a Prada shirt and and you can maybe say something in that way or wear a Gucci belt or what?
Okay, but sometimes you want to I don't know like have the narrative in your own hands and some people are gonna be like You're overthinking this.
Okay, you're probably right, but I don't know like this is just a personal feeling I'm having So like I'm not attracted to things with logos or brand names on them at all.
I avoid that at all costs and That's just where I'm at in my life If I'm gonna buy like a nice item if I'm gonna splurge on an item I am NOT Splurging on something that has a logo on it.
Absolutely. Not unless the logo is super tiny and like not seen often.
You know what I mean?
Because beyond me just not really liking what it says as much anymore, I also never want to buy something because of the brand that it's from.
Right? I want to buy something because I like it and because I think I'm gonna wear it a lot.
And I don't want to be swayed by a logo.
So I've made it sort of common practice in my life.
If I'm gonna splurge on an item, I am NOT going to buy something with a logo on it.
I want to buy something because of what it is, not because of where it's from.
So anyway anything with a logo on it to me is out.
I also think too this is just something that happens every few years when I don't know maximalism is no longer in.
And you know there's a phase of minimalism which I've been talking about for like the last two years.
But I'm like at an extreme with it where I'm like I don't even want a tiny logo on anything.
Like I want no logo at all.
I want it to be a complete mystery where anything I'm wearing is from.
Although I will never gatekeep.
If somebody comes up to me and says, hey where's that from?
I will absolutely always share because I do not believe in gatekeeping like that.
Okay so that's not why I don't want to wear a logo.
Yeah okay moving on.
Next we have colorful geometric patterns.
I used to love, love, love like statement patterns, statement like mod patterns like 60s mod patterns or like bright 70s swirly stuff which I mean all of that is arguably kind of costume -esque.
Like were they actually wearing those patterns and shit?
Yeah maybe sometimes but I don't think that that was like I don't know.
It feels like a costume version of the 60s and 70s but I used to like those patterns right?
The big bright colorful geometric -y sort of patterns in all forms as prints as knit designs like a sweater that has a bunch of color and pattern and blah blah blah.
The thing that I've noticed about majority of patterns that are super loud and bright is that inevitably you'll get sick of them because they're fatiguing, it's too loud.
When anything's too loud you'll get fatigued by it eventually.
It's like how cheetah print comes in and out you know every few years.
It's always sort of in right?
Like there's always some people who just love it all the time like Snooki you know from Jersey Shore like she will probably always love cheetah print okay you know what I'm saying?
Like there's certain people who just love it all the time.
I love Snooki by the way and I love Jersey Shore and I need to watch that show again.
Me talking about this right now is reminding me that I just simply need to watch Jersey Shore again because it's one of the best shows on the planet but anything loud will become fatiguing to majority of people eventually and that's how I feel about sort of like retro colorful geometric patterns.
It's just to me it like reminds me of a certain era now like 2018 2019 when like I was wearing a lot of that like it feels stale like I wore those sorts of patterns a lot and now it just feels stale to me I'm sick of it because it feels too loud unfortunately.
Next we have mini bags okay I used to like love a little mini bag a little mini shoulder bag I'm so over that I'm so over that number one it seems a bit too juvenile for me at this point like I feel like it's a bit immature there's something about it that reads to me is like very immature and in that I'm
not excited about but then on top of that it just doesn't even fucking hold anything and it never did right like I would always be fighting for space in my little mini bag it just and also like when I'm talking about a mini bag I'm talking about a mini little shoulder bag that you can pop over your
shoulder you cannot pop that bag over your shoulder if you're wearing a jacket and that is so inconvenient how many months out of the year do we not need to wear a jacket three four I mean I live in Los Angeles one of the warmest places at least in America and I wear a jacket probably 70 % of the year
at least in the evenings like a light jacket okay I'm not like bundled up I'm not wearing a fucking Oritzia super puff but like you get what I'm saying my point is it's just like I can't with the mini bag I'm done I'm wearing a purse like I'm and maybe this is just me maturing but like I want to wear
a purse you know I want to wear a full fucking purse or like a full crossbody bag I want to wear a bag like I have shit to bring around nowadays I didn't used to when I was younger it was like my mom carried her wallet I didn't even have a wallet my phone was always in my hand I did whatever now it's
like well I have my lipstick and then I have my lip liner and then I my phone and then I'm a portable charger and then I have napkins just in case and then I have gum and then I have like I used to have like 16 different vapes in my bag like it was just I had a lot I don't carry around a vape anymore
because I'm I'm evolved now and I don't vape anymore beautiful but you get the idea so all right and I just don't I don't know they just don't even look cool to me like there's nothing like like there's sort of this idea that like in fashion we should have like a bunch of different little cute little
mini bags I used to think like that because that's very Pinterest mindset right having like one really good black purse is all you need it's all you need I wear my favorite black purse it's just like a simple black purse I wear that thing almost every day I mean I don't really need any other bag you
know it's it's perfect it's not too big it's not too small it fits over my shoulder I don't know like and it looks chic it looks classic okay next we have topless tops okay you've probably seen these they were like very trendy like a year ago I just for some reason now I despise them and so I have to
talk about it and I wore them quite a few times like I definitely participated in this trend but now I absolutely despise them um okay imagine okay imagine a long -sleeve shirt now imagine you took a pair of scissors and you cut above the boob under the arm around the back and over the boob again so now
all you really have is like basically just sleeves like if you wore this by itself your entire boobies would be out right a lot of times this piece is paired with a tank top or with like a cute little bra or something and it's basically like a half shirt it's just sleeves it's like removable sleeves
this was so trendy I had like a few sweater versions it was like sweater sleeves I had quite a few things to me now it is the dumbest sorry I don't want to call anything dumb cuz like there's always a way to style something that's cool like I never want to take that away from people if they want to
like you know what I mean like who the fuck am I to say right but to me when I look at it now on myself I'm like Emma stop what what what are you doing like just wear a fucking long -sleeve shirt like what's happening it just seems ridiculous to me and I can't I just don't think it's cool anymore I don't
know I just don't like it anymore and that's coming from someone who like used to really love it and I think what it really comes down to is something like I will always end up cringing at something that is ultimately pointless that's something that I've noticed and I've talked about that a lot to those
of you who are consistent listeners to anything goes you know this okay anything that serves no purpose I will ultimately hate at some point and that is how I feel about these sleeve tops it's it's pointless and because of that I cannot like eventually I will think it's stupid and I'm at that point
now with the topless just sleeve tops okay next we have checkerboard print I adored checkerboard print for so long like for years like my style evolved over and over and over again but something that I always liked was checkerboard and I think it's safe to say that now I'm I'm fully sick of it and I
I really don't like it anymore in almost any capacity the only capacity I actually do enjoy checkerboard print in is actually tile work in the home for some reason I find that timeless like a checkerboard floor in a kitchen like black and white checkerboard tiles or like blue and white checkerboard
tiles in a bathroom oh I love that like that I don't think I'll ever get sick of but on clothes yeah I'm done for now I really don't like it anymore and I think it's because it's so overdone the last few years it's I mean it was already starting to get stale a few years ago but like it held on by a thread
and it kind of stayed in the zeitgeist and now I just I mean personally I just can't even fucking stand it I hope I never fucking see it again checkerboard print okay I hope I absolutely never see it again and last but not least we have the sort of y2k sparkly design slash baby tea of it all like you
know what I'm talking about like like everybody being like oh my god I need to go to the thrift store and find like children's t -shirts because they've such cute designs because they were like little small little designs with sparkles and stuff I'm sorry I can't again like there was sort of this trend
for a while there that even I participated in of like very juvenile clothing right like tiny little bags sparkly little shirt like it was almost like we were all sort of healing our inner child okay all at once and we were doing it through fashion wearing stuff that we maybe always dreamed of and I
I like the idea of like staying youthful through clothing however I personally am over it like I like the sentiment I think the sentiments beautiful like hey you know what why succumb to aging in the sense that oh well now I'm I'm 50 so I guess I have to start wearing like Skechers shape -ups in like
in ugly like floral dress that goes down to my ankles that's like really baggy like I don't want to do that I want to continue to dress in what's trendy or you know what the like I love that I believe in that I think that that's a phenomenal thing but however for my own personal style like I have no interest
in feeling younger and I actually have no interest in feeling older either when it comes to fashion like I just want to wear stuff that I'm gonna think is cool forever and that's a steep ask and I'm aware of that but I want to look back and be like that was a cool outfit like I might not wear it now
but like fuck that's a cool outfit whereas right now I look back at what I wore like two years ago even and I'm like what the fuck was that and I'm trying to slowly get to a point where I don't ever feel like that again and again it's gonna take a long time and it's gonna take a lot of trial and error and maybe
I'll never get to a point where I have no fashion regrets but that's what my goal is right now all right now let's discuss stuff that I used to dislike and now I like okay starting with tabby shoes if you don't know what tabby shoes are tabby shoes are basically shoes that have like a slit in the toe
and let's see let me read the history of the tabby shoes I'm very curious according to stitch fashion calm here's the history of the tabby Martin Margela the Belgian founder of Mason Margela developed his designs for tabby's as a reference to the Japanese workers shoe dating back to the 15th century
originally as socks the tabby was meant to split the toes of workers to promote balance if one had a balanced body they could have a clear mind and then obviously Margela took inspiration from this and created various different styles boots it seems like his first one was the boot okay so funny story
I used to be really like I didn't know the history of the tabby in how long it had been around I was made aware of the tabby shoe because of the brand Margela and I was seeing everyone wearing tabby shoes they sort of came back into the zeitgeist everybody was loving the brand Margela especially in the fashion world
like it was just like and I mean people have loved the tabby shoe by Margela for a long time but they were having like a moment a few years ago and I was like you know what I don't I don't think I want to buy into this trend like to me it seemed like it was only ever gonna be a trend because you have to
wear a certain type of sock in order to wear the tabby shoe because obviously there's a slit in the toe right like if you were to wear a normal sock in a tabby shoe it would like pull it's like wearing a flip -flop with a sock with a normal sock it doesn't work you know like you can't there's not enough
fabric there so you have to like go out of your way and buy tabby socks if you want to wear a tabby shoe I mean or you can go sockless but it just seems inconvenient right I was shopping recently and I went into the Margela store and I saw these shoes they were cream ballet flats which is already something
that like these are two things that I literally used to dislike and now suddenly them together I like it was very bizarre cream tabby ballet flats super simple super versatile it's like fuck these are really cool and immediately it was like oh my god I can think of a trillion ways to style these like
these will easily become a staple if I if I get them and I tried them on expecting them to be super uncomfortable like I thought it was gonna feel like it was a wedgie between my toes I was so wrong they actually are very comfortable weirdly and it's interesting because you know the article we just
read talking about the origin of the shoe in Japan and how you know the tabby shoe was created because it was supposed to promote balance you know like the space between the big toe and the rest of the toes promotes balance and it might just be placebo or something I agree I think it does promote balance
there's something very comfortable and I don't know like I've worn my tabby flats like around town 20 ,000 steps and my feet have definitely been a bit sore I mean I'm wearing flat shoes but like I can walk around in those tabbies I don't know there's something about a tabby I find them very comfortable
and I think that they are ultimately cool like I think they can look cool do I think that they're trendy like me yes probably like I think they'll probably go back out of style but I also you know I don't think they're gonna go back out of style but I think that they'll be less popular again but I actually
think that they'll always be cool because they're subtle enough that I think that they're actually timeless they're having a big moment right now they've been having a big moment the last few years but I think it'll always be cool like I don't think a tabby will ever be looked at as something that like
is like cringe I don't know maybe but I don't know they're just the more I learn about them and now that I have a pair and I wear them all the time I'm like dang I really like them I like everything about them I like the way that they look but I also like the way that they feel like I actually I'm sold
on them I I used to think that they were trendier than they were but now that I like them so much and I get the hype I'm like you know what maybe they are timeless and and learning the history too they've been around for so long like that's a telltale sign that something's gonna last okay next we have V
-neck shirts okay listen V -neck shirts for the most part are still hideous okay but I used to think that there was no such thing as a cute V -neck shirt and then recently like I've realized you know what I actually don't hate a V -neck like I have this one like cream knit V -neck top and I've actually been
wearing it for the last few years I've had it for like probably three years now and I was always like oh it's kind of like is this even cute like I don't know it actually is cute you know I have quite a few V -neck tops and it is possible for a V -neck to be cute okay am I rushing to find my next V -neck
no but I used to like completely discount the category of shirt and now I'm like you know what there's something to a V -neck it's not all horrible so don't judge a shirt by its V -neck like keep an open mind with V -necks because I used to hate them in all forms and now like slowly but surely over the last
few years I've bought V -neck things and been like why do I like this and like doubted myself no no no it's actually it can be cute I like V -necks now okay not all of them but good ones next we have capri length pants I used to think capri length pants sort of like made me look short or I don't know
or we're just like to 2010s I actually think capri length like I used to discount capri length completely I was like capri length can never be cool can never be chic can never be fashionable it is just a length of pant that I don't even consider okay like I felt a very similar way about the capri length
pant as I did with the V -neck shirt now I realize capris can actually be very cute and there's so many different ways to style them that are interesting like a capri little black legging with like a scrunchie little sock and like a little flat shoe like a little red flat you know of some sort or like
a little loafer and then like a little button -down shirt and then like maybe a little sweater on top of it I don't know there's just like a lot you can do with it or like a little pair of like I don't know not like full cargo but like cargo ish sort of capris I don't know I like capri length pants even
like a dress pant that's capri length I actually really want to find a good pair I just haven't found a good pair but I think capri length is very underrated still even though it's definitely more trendy now than it was say five years ago I think capri length is so cute and I actually do think it's
timeless as long as the capris are somewhat versatile and simple and they're not like too Y2K or like too you know what I mean too stylized okay next we have short hair I used to sort of always believe that on myself anyway I never like I have always thought there are certain people who look so cute
with short hair I I just have never thought it was me you know I always thought that long hair looked better on me and that I should just always have long hair because it will always look better on me like and I used to sort of think like a lot of people say that everyone looks better without bangs
I don't know if you've heard that sort of saying or that belief but a lot of people believe that some people can look good with bangs but everyone will look better without them and that's kind of how I felt with short hair I was always like short hair can look really cute but I bet everyone would look
better with long hair or at least like you know the girly pops which again is sort of like an immature it's an opinion that is very clearly guided by beauty standards and stuff which by the way is unavoidable and I don't blame myself for believing that I don't believe I don't blame you for believing
that Lee I don't blame anyone for believing that okay because beauty standards are here they exist okay news flash so me assuming like hey as a girl I probably would look better with long hair like especially when you're a teenager or young adult to assume that is incredibly common is it a healthy belief
is it a unique personal thought no you know it's again it's very based on beauty standards but it's normal to believe that I'm just now at a place where I am aware of beauty standards and there are still many areas of my life where like I have not been able to escape the beauty standard however when it
comes to hair anyway I am no longer of the belief that everyone looks better or every girly pop looks better like I have shed that belief and now I'm like no I think I actually look better with short hair I think I look better with short hair and I like everything about having short hair better it's
more comfortable oh if you don't know I did cut my hair I used to have sort of longish brown hair and then I cut it and I bleached it and I have very very short hair I actually just got another trim today so it's even shorter than what you see of my hair right now on the internet I've since cut it shorter
it's very short and I'm loving it because number one I love styling it I think it looks great with with clothes and it has such a strong vibe to it that my long hair didn't have I'm absolutely having the most fun ever styling it also I think it's actually more flattering on me and some people might disagree
and I'm still learning how to style it like I'm not saying every single clip or video of me on the internet right now shows my short hair at its best I've been figuring out how to style it and it's been a journey so if you see some bad hair days of my short hair online that is me learning but I can say
in general it's more flattering on me one styled right than the long hair and I just think short hair is a vibe and I used to really just not like it I just thought it was like never as flattering as long hair and now I've been proven wrong next we have flat shoes in general like ballet flats you know
like super flat sort of little mules or like little flat sandals like any sort of flat shoe even like a flat sneaker like flat shoes in general I used to hate super flat shoes I thought that they made me look short I used to have a hard time styling them because I always felt like I was really like
top -heavy and like I don't know like when you're building an outfit you want things to feel balanced and for some reason I always had a hard time balancing like a small daintier shoe it was easy for me to style like a big bulky shoe I I don't know why that was but I used to feel that way and now for some
reason I don't have any trouble with styling like a slimmer shoe and I like the look of them better honestly like I'm wearing so many little ballet flats and little like thin dainty little loafers and little mules like I love little slim dainty shoes these days don't know what's happening maybe it's
because I cut all my hair off and now I have like short hair and it just feels more balanced with like a dainty or shoe I don't know I don't know what it is but I think that they're more classic more timeless it's like if you look back and time majority of shoes had a pretty flat sole you know you're
not seeing a bunch of shoes with these big platform chunky ass soles right this is ultimately the most timeless sort of shoe is a flat shoe and I also think I used to believe that the only flat shoe that existed was like a ballet flat and I was like ballet flats are gonna come in and out I don't really
want to participate in that but there are so many shoes that are like flats you know like thin flat shoes that are not a ballet flat I guess I just didn't realize that anyway I'm loving flat shoes okay next we have silver jewelry and silver hardware I mean this has been going on for a while now I've
been wearing primarily silver jewelry for the last year and before that I was only wearing gold and I don't really know what changed I think my style evolved and I don't know I just like now I prefer silver hardware and it was weird because I used to hate like I had this phase where I hated silver hardware I
think it's because I almost traumatized myself like in like 2019 I was wearing only silver jewelry and I was kind of wearing like e -girl like goth style like jewelry and not goth but like emo how do I explain it it was like it was kind of yeah it was kind of gothic style jewelry though honestly like
I was wearing like sword earrings or like angel necklace or like you know and it was very like e -girl tick -tock vibe okay and I one day woke up and I was like oh my god that is so cringe I can't wear that anymore and then I switched to gold jewelry and I was wearing more timeless gold jewelry like gold
charms gold hoops you know like I switched over to that and it matched my style at the time because I was wearing I don't know like the color palette I was wearing it was very warm toned it just made sense with with gold jewelry and then now I've I don't know like changed the color palette I've been
wearing I wear darker colors nowadays like dark olive greens a lot and black I wear a lot of black recently and I don't know just silver hardware it looks better and I think I like it better with my skin tone I'm just I just think silver is the move I like it I don't know why it's so weird but I hated
it and now I like it and I think it's very chic I mean but I also love gold jewelry too I think both are good I think not one is better than the other I think it just depends on what color scheme you're wearing at the time and what works best with your skin tone and with your hair color and everything
like it just it depends on who you are which actually leads us to all black outfits I used to be kind of anti all black outfits because I just feel like it's kind of a cop -out like come on you know wear some color it's fun I'm so sorry I love an all black outfit I wear all black all the time now it
always fucking looks good it always looks good it always looks chic it always looks elevated I fucking love an all black outfit especially when my hair is bleached and now that my hair is bleached whoa an all -black outfit oh my god I love there's almost nothing better than an all -black outfit like I
love all black I'm so into it right now I'm so like not into bright colors at all right now I'm loving all black with like maybe little pops of like maroon or like olive green or like brown but gray gray oh my god gray and black love I just that's the color palette I'm leaning towards I like dark colors
right now in an all black outfit to me there's nothing wrong with it in fact I think it's great and last but not least I used to hate a baseball cap I thought I thought it wasn't cute there was like a period of time where I was experimenting with the trucker hat which is not something I'm necessarily
proud of the trucker hat especially the Von Dutch trucker hat was a big trend honestly like four years ago now I mean it's definitely was short -lived I mean people are still wearing the Von Dutch hat but it's not what it used to be I played in that world always ironically though I don't think I ever
like wore a trucker hat and was like serious I think it was always kind of like having fun with fashion being silly with fashion even if it didn't always read that way but baseball caps like you know like a classic baseball cap that says fucking I don't know like Key West Florida on it or it says like
Marlboro Marlboro cigarettes or you know like a baseball cap classic just cap although Marlboro oh my god I can't ever say Marlboro wearing cigarette merch to me I don't like it that was a trend a few years ago too so that was a bad example because I actually really don't like that I think that that's
cringe I actually just donated a camel hat I had a camel cigarettes hat and I donated it because I was like okay number one I'm I'm not trying to like promote nicotine consumption at all nicotine has already fucked up my life enough like I don't I don't even want to wear this hat but also like I just
think it's kind of over cigarette merch and over but anyway baseball caps in general Key West Florida Cape Cod Massachusetts like you know the little baseball caps I would try to wear them and I could never figure out a way to style them I was like I always just feel dumpy or like my face doesn't look
good I don't know how to do my hair like I don't know like do I look too you know masculine like I was very against baseball caps and I would try to wear them and I'd wear them every once in a while but I was never fully committed to it and I always kind of deep down hated them and then now I fully
just love them like I I love a baseball cap I've been wearing them a lot recently and now I'm wearing them with my full chest you know what I mean like it used to be that I'd wear them I see I don't want to sound like a hypocrite because on my Instagram you might go back and see me wearing a baseball
cap every once in a while because it did happen but it was always because I was trying like it wasn't genuine it was like I guess this would kind of look cool this baseball cap but like I don't know like do I even like this like I wasn't I wore them but I I had spite for them at the same time whereas
now I just fully love them like I think baseball caps are phenomenal they're comfortable they're great for a bad hair day but they also can be a really chic accessory at times I would say the only challenge is finding a good baseball cap what I do is I buy them thrifted or vintage and then I will like
soak them to clean them because I don't want to get lice but I think vintage ones tend to be cuter but you should probably soak them so that you don't get lice okay that's all I got in a few months when I change my mind about more fashion that I used to love and now hate or used to hate and now love
