Zum Thema Bandshirts

(Disclaimer: Ja, alle ich höre diese Bands auch wirklich.) 

Mit meinen Bandshirts verbindet mich eine gewisse Hassliebe. Grundsätzlich scheint es Bandshirts nur in 2 Kategorien zu geben, zum einen 

die, die mir passen und zum anderen

die, die cool sind. 

Ich weiß nicht, ob ich die einzige bin die so denkt, aber ich habe eine Theorie das die meinsten Bands nur die hässlichsten harmlosesten Motive auf diese sogenannten Girlie-Shirts drucken. Die Platzierung erscheint mir auch oft seltsam. Schaut man sich die normalen Herren-Shirts an, ist oft jeder letzte Rest bedruckt, bei Damen-Shirts hab ich oft den Eindruck die Macher würden mit einer Einstellung da rangehen à la "Wo Brüste sind, da will man auch nur Brüste bedrucken." Das ist zwar mir nichten immer so, aber doch recht häufig. Woran liegt das? 
Ich will jetzt eigentlich garnicht darauf hinaus, dass ich mich irgendwie diskriminiert fühlen würde oder so, die meisten Bands richten sich da wohl einfach (und auch zurecht) nach ihrer Nachfrage. Machine Head zum Beispiel machen anscheinend gar keine sog. "Girlies". Was ich eigentlich sagen wollte: Kauft Herrren-Shirts, das Preis-Druck-Verhältnis ist besser!


"Band-Girlies":  Das Wort allein mag ich schon nicht, es lässt mich an 14-jährige mit pinken Fingernägeln denken. Girlie, das ist so ein Anglizismus den meine Mama für die Zielgruppe der Jonas Brothers benutzen würde, damit möchte ich mich nicht identifizieren.

Ungebügelt und mit Gartenzaun im Hintergrund. 'Cause that's how I roll. Ja, Santana fällt da vielleicht ein bisschen aus der Reihe (unter anderem weil doppelt so teuer), aber das ist mir ehrlich gesagt auch egal. Das Wackenshirt ist zwar Größe M, trotzdem aber irgendwie bauchfrei, da wurden wohl so 10cm am unteren Rand weg-rationalisiert.

normale Bandshirts: Wenn man Pech hat, sieht man aus wie ein Zelt. Für maximale Klischeeträchtigkeit mit Cargohose tragen.


DIY-Bandshirts: z.B. mit extra großen Armlöchern für bessere Belüftung.

Bei Bandshirts hat man ja oft das Problem, dass man im Prinzip zehn mal das gleiche Shirt im Schrank liegen hat. Mit anderem Bildchen halt. Für viele (meinen Freund z.B., der hat ca. 50 mal das gleiche schwarze Shirt) ist das auch kein Problem, persönlich finde ich es aber äußerst langweilig. Also habe ich mein Hobby zum Beruf gemacht und studiere Pokémon. Also habe ich mir angewöhnt, meine Shirts irgendwie mit Schere, Nadel und Faden etwas interessanter zu machen.  

Bandshirts, die eigentlich keine sind: Besonders das pinke Mötley Crüe Shirt. Was mich ärgert ist, dass dieses Mötley Crüe Shirt sich viel besser hält als das andere, richtige Bandshirt, dessen Qualität wirklich unter aller Kanone ist.

Die hier sind von H&M und Topshop. Wer so ein Shirt trägt dem wird ja häufig unterstellt das aus Fashiongründen zu tun. Das stimmt auch. Trotzdem mag ich die Bands. "I'm a woman Mary. I can be as contrary as I choose." (Downton Abbey)

Live Wire!

What I've noticed lately is this: My blog-pictures are really bad. Or so I think. The thing is, that I most times really like the outfits that I put together looking in the mirror, but as soon as the pictures are taken I look at them and really, really hate them. Maybe I'm just unphotogenic, maybe I take bad pictures. Maybe I seriously just look bad. I don't know, but I wish I did. It's really frustrating. Ah, whatever. Today I did some DIYing, I'take some pictures as soon as I'm done.



This is the only look I took pictures of that I like, recently. It was worn groceries shopping, very glamorous eh? The cardigan I'm wearing is once again made by granny, it's realy warm and cozy but unfortunatelly quite itchy,too, so I prefer to wear something long sleeved underneath.












Shirt- Mötley Crüe 
Blankie- Asos 
Scarf- Asos
Creepers- Demonia

Kitty Visit

Say hi Nala! 
We've got my boyfriends cat here to catsit right now. Aw, I miss having a cat around, they make everything so much more chill and cozy and purrrrrrry. I was trying to get her to take a photo with me but she's an old ladycat and doesn't like to be forced (little wuss!). Also exam-period is kicking in, wrote the first one today, two more to go.




 

 So this is what I wore to write my exam and go groceries shopping. Also I made that shoe mistake again (ha, did I realy think the aditional socks where going to to the trick?! But my Granny made them for me and I wanted to wear them. I have another pair, colorful ones, so cute! Thanks Nan) I'm currently waiting to recive my Creepers and sone other bits and bobs, should I do a haul? And how would I do that?

They are delaying the news because of some crappy, pathetic carneval-show thing. Damn you public television! Why am I paying 20€ a month if I have to wait for the f*****g news?

So I Started LOOKBOOK

After quite some time of stalking arround, I thought I might as well get an account, since I have this blog to ramble about fashion now anyway.
This is what I submitted, I have another look up, but the picture is just very unflattering. I guess I'm taking that down again.


Shirt: Vero Moda
Shorts: Mango
Necklace: HotHoops
Shoes: Tamaris
Socks: Amazon
Belt: my Dads'

I love this outfit but honestly it was way to cold for this. We went to see a movie when I wore this an I thought my feet were going to freeze off. Since that  occasion I've worn nothing but my Uggs and I don't plan to until temperatures are above 0°C again. (right now we're at -14°C). brrrrrr

Clouded Sky, Clouded Mind

Will ist rain?


  Jacket: Review
Scarf: [don't remember]
Shirt: H&M
Riding Pants: H&M
Shoes: Buffalo
Belt: my Dads'






I'd say the picture is a bit of an improvement, thought the sephia-effect comes across way to strong for my liking. No idea how GIMP wants me to adapt that. Other than that I definitely need to find a prettier place to take my pictures, how about indoors?


I'm in love with this jacket.


There's nothing much to say today and I really, really need to go back to studying. I feel like it limits my brain, can't think about other stuff for 5 minutes straight right now. Bummer. I want this over with.

A Controversial Fashion Issue: Creepers

I remember that for some time while I was in elementary school, platform shoes were “the shit“. I don’t remember caring about trends at that age apart from flared trousers (which I completely switched to and one day told my best friend at the time how totally uncool she was for wearing straight legged jeans and that I couldn’t be seen with her anymore) and, well, the thing with the platforms. In my head I still see them, they were black and white lace-ups and according to my memory they must have been at least 10cm high. All though looking back now, from a more realistic point of view they probably were about 4-5cm maximum or my mum wouldn’t have let me get away with it. The results were catastrophic anyway (which I of course never admitted) and when that trend was over I swore myself that I would never hop on the platform-bandwagon ever again.
I’m pretty damn close to breaking that vow right now. And Creepers are the trend to blame this time.

(e.g these, by T.U.K., image via amazon)
In some way they are just rather ugly shoes. In another I kind of like them for that. They’re bold. A statement piece, quirky and fun. I guess I’d get some weird stares (since I don’t live in the most… ahm…fashion forward area) but I get them a lot anyways for my more unusual fashion choices. It’s fun wearing something unexpected and to style it well. Creepers would be a nice addition to that
.
Still, am I really ready for platforms again? Even though they’re not that high?
My “alternativish” side says yes.
My wallet says no (atm).
My brain says: “Wanna twist your ankle?”
We’ll see.
