'Out of the communal wardrobe'


Individual expression is alive and well and living in Sydney.
I took a cross city bus from a trendy up market suburb via a
funky area to a grungy suburb that flaunts individual style as
its masthead. A suburb where glam lives comfortably yet
unpretentiously next to grunge.
Having lambasted those who slavishly adhere to lists and look alikes
I’m pleased to report that after my session of street ‘gazing’ and ‘grazing’
there’s a new trend emerging in the fashion stakes and it’s refreshing to see.
The look – anything goes. It doesn’t have to mix and match nor does it need to be colour co-ordinated.
There is no ‘new black’ but rather a mish mash and hot potch of lucky dip style dressing. The look – let’s call it ‘out of the communal wardrobe.’
Spotted
On the bus – blue denim shorts over long black woollen tights, brown ankle boots
and a grey, long sleeve, waisted jacket.
On the street – 10:15am! a diaphanous primrose yellow mini dress, bare legs, long black cardigan and silver lame 12cm heels. No wonder the poor girl had to stop by a fountain to apply sticky plaster to her blistered and bleeding heels.
Coming soon to a street near you……
Have you spotted the ‘out of the communal wardrobe’ look yet?
Let’s hear about it……….
