PUNK VS. SOPHISTICATE
I decided to throw some pop art in..I though it was 80s appropriate, anyway onto fashion....The 80s era of glitz and glam and plaid,etc. We remember converse and heavy makeup. And it has transversed into Fall 2007 known as punk. I just happen to love it! Skinny pants rock my world, dramatic makeup from time to time (smokey eye, stained berry lips,etc.), and a bit of grunge....It all coincides with punk. But who says glitz and glam has to be punk?! It could also be what I call THE SOPHISTICATE. Sequins, sparkles, clean lines, the impecability of it all. Metallic heels and cute leather bags...sigh. Though I have a love for punk, I am a sophisticate...it makes me feel comfortable in my own skin kind of thing I guess. If you dress punk you don't have to feel like a rebel but you most likely are. It could be breaking the boundaries of fashion, standing up for causes, not wnting to do homework(just kidding). Either way the sophisticate is my chosen style, because for me materials in sophisticate style cause an outfit to flow or give off a confident energy. It can be clean and simple and it feels much more luxurious. Well that me...WHATS YOUR STYLE?
Black shades are always a classic. Aviator shaped frames are sleek, as long as the frame isn't too chunky. I fit it's too heavy, the frame will make the shades look like we've retrogressed back to those bad 80s shaped glasses people had to wear. (You know like back in the day,hehehe). At the top, there is a Marc Jacobs model wearing glasses..who said shades can't have an intellectual side? I love the shades worn by Iekeliene Stange, the're edgy because they have a frame with neat prints...LOVE IT!

i'd say I'm somewhere in between punk and sophisticate, with a liberal dose of tacky sprinkled on too...
I'd say I've definately got a more sophisticated style. Great blog! :]
I do like girlie outfits but I like to give them an edge, either with a bold color or a "tough" accessory.
Great post.

i'm def. more sophisticated than punk, but I do have my punk-esque moments, I guess it just depends on how I feel that day

where to start? oh, i love this post. i LOVE that black sequined mini-dress. i want it. my style, hmm. i have a few styles. sometimes im extremely preppy its scary, sometimes i'm wearing a bohemian tunic dress, and others i'm just a mix of things. (my favorite pieces include my red skinny jeans and a vintage green belt from the 80's) speaking of the 80's, i love that pop art!
