Sometimes, when I’m in the mood, I like to dress around certain elements which would, if examined separately, seemingly clash, based on their characteristics or the categories of style into which we’d sort them.

Something boho, like feathers, doesn’t appear to go with something so adorably feminine and charming as satin bows, which doesn’t seem to fit well with brass knuckles, which in turn seems incongruous with plastic yellow shoes, which would seemingly clash with mixed metal spikes, and so on and so forth.

Well. Whatever. The logic of style is that there is logic and there isn’t. The rules of fashion, you know, the old stand bys, the staid and tired rules our mothers and their mothers lived by, well those can kiss our collective asses, can’t they? They can take a bit of my spiked, brass knuckled love and shove it.

When it comes to things that are too safe and logical to the point of being boring. Fuck them.

Fashion is what we make it. And I say, MIX THE SHIT OUT OF IT.
