Does anyone really care that Kim Kardashian’s hubby number one was Kris Humphries? Probably not. Does everyone care that the marriage lasted a mere 72 days? You bet!
And, is it actually important that at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards Lady Gaga won Video of the Year? Um, no. Ok, so maybe a little. But, isn’t it 50,000 times more important that she wore raw beef on national TV? I’ll answer for you: yes. Yes, it is.
Now, who even remembers that the Wicked Witch of the East was wearing a red and black dress when the house fell on her? Not seven-year-old me. But do I remember the ruby red shoes? Well, duh.
I just have one more question: What does any of this have to do with fashion? (Side note: the meat dress does not qualify as legitimate clothing, and thus is not fashion.) The way I see it, these are examples of how any Kardashian-obsessed, tabloid crazed junkie, post MTV 2010 Awards vegetarian or budding Style Guru views the world. We don’t care about the big picture. We forget about the event in its entirety. We don’t remember the full impact.
So, when you go to get dressed in the morning, take a cue from this Fashionista and focus on the little things, standouts and jaw-droppers. Let’s be real: life is too short for boring accessories, so go all out!
This Fashionista holds a signature bag by Thomas Wylde. The bedazzled skull is the glam factor that signals the beginning of the slippery slope we like to call fashion. After all, once she had the bag, she had to get the Steve Madden wedges, the killer, metallic bracelet from STORY by Kranz & Ziegler, the rose cut diamond Indian pendant necklace, the hair product and the fake lashes. It was totally necessary. Trust me.
Her stellar, grunge bag serves as a perfect contrast to the simplistic American Eagle Outfitters black jeans and solid White House Black Market tank top. The plain backdrop allowed the accessories to leave their memorable mark, finish off the look and give the Fashionista some edge.
How To: Don’t have anything to wear? Not enough clothes? Throw on some simple staples and accessorize. You can’t mess up, the bigger the better! Oh, and by the way, a girl never has enough clothes.
