School ended early for me today and because I was dead bored, I suddenly came up with an idea to cut up a maxi skirt of mine to make it a fishtail skirt instead! I have always wanted a fishtail skirt but feel too impatient to buy one from a spree and wait like what? 3 weeks? I extremely dislike waiting for things to arrive in my mailbox. Then it hit me, "I should just cut my maxi skirt since I don't wear it anymore." and TADA! I begin snipping it up. I would definitely be wearing this skirt out more often. #feelingproudofmyself. Please pardon my 1.fat arms 2.cui face 3.messily tied aunty hair.
So glad the weekend is finally here! o^_^o
/edit
Today during one module, we were suppose to talk about our view of marginalised people. One group of people that came up were: Design school students. Majority of my class felt that their dressing is outrageous and unacceptable. I think I was the only one who felt so strongly against what they have to say. Others are either neutral or think that their dressing is just weird.
I voiced out my opinions but trying to handle my emotions properly so I won't overreact. I feel that design people are admirable because they don't care what others think of them and just want to express themselves. How many of us can be like that? In a society that judges us simply by the way we look and dress, how many people can say they actually don't care about the image they portray? They can. A classmate thought that reaching out to people like them was redundant because she didn't want to become like them. I'm not hating on this person and I understand how she feels, but really, the truth is, these people don't even want you to reach out to them. They love the way they are and don't want your 'help'.
This is why sometimes, I question myself, am I really in the right course? I'm amidst people who have such different views from myself. Sometimes, I wonder if I should have really gone to design school. I am not trying to say I'm extremely talented nor the fact that I can dress well. It's just that I have all these outfit ideas in my head that I can't express externally, it's only up in my head. Reason being, I'm around such people who I know cannot accept the way I would prefer to dress. I have tried expressing myself a little before in school and what did I get? Criticisms and outfit checks. I'm so sick of it. If these people really think design school students are weird, what do these people think about themselves? That they dress better than design school students? Do they really think that fashion is merely about wearing pieces of clothing. Has it ever occurred to them that, that's why they are NOT design school students?
Fashion is about details, fabric, colours, textures and more. It's so much more complicated than their 'intellectual' mind can wrap itself around. Even I can't say I have truly 'mastered' it, I still have much to learn.
