I've made an observation about the fashion industry.
The magazines do us a disservice in order to get our money. They picture the most exaggerated, seductive poses and clothes with OTT accessories sometimes, on way more beautiful girls than the average in ideal deserted settings, making us all want to look like that. I've fallen for it a few times and when the clothes came I just didn't wear them, since compared to my local grocery store customers, I looked like a hooker or was way overdressed. lol. I think a lot of CDs fall for the fashion mag "image", but they carry it out in public and maybe this is why they get negative comments. Just a thought.
What I'm saying is that a lot of the clothes in the young, hip, fashion mags don't look improper on the models in those settings, but when you translate them to real life in settings that are not nightclubs, they do make the wearer seem out of place. I'm not talking JC Penny. lol.
If you stood on a busy street in an urban area and took photos of passerby GGs, there'd be a huge difference between their looks and what we all see in fashion mags.
How many of you fall for the "look" in mags, but don't end up wearing the stuff in public just because it seems out of place? Or how many of you do wear those outfits and end up getting stared at?
