My style can vary day to day but I have two recurring themes, summer time hippie and winter in black and grey. Since global warming has brought me more rain than snow my fashion sense is a little bewildered. Each day I go for my typical blacks and grays but when I see the sun and rain I throw on a paisley scarf and wear cobalt converses because I feel too subdued.
In November I was gearing up for snow. I'd recently bought a tape of Adore by the Smashing Pumpkins and knew from the start that it would be my winter soundtrack. In the bleakness of a white sky and dark, geometric trees, Billy Corgan's pleading tone would be melancholy and romantic. I listen to the record everyday but its only snowed heavily once. I usually have Fiona Apple and the Stills on repeat now but I've barely listened to them. The lack of typical winter weather has left me a bit confused about what I feel like wearing day to day. I referred back to the December/January issue of Nylon where Luke Crisell described Mary-Kate Olsen as a bohemian-Gothic-ornithological-eccentric-gypsy. To me this is a combo of my style moods so I simply put my summer and winter pieces together and came out like Kurt Cobain with a dollop of Janis Joplin. My mocasins may even make an appearance....
