Style Evolution- Simself Edition
As I was messing with my simself for the outfit challenge I was thinking about how much my style has changed over time. And then of course I had to revisit some of my best/worst fashion moments in CAS. Blame this weird reflective mood on my turning 30 or something.
2003- Baby Slanes discovered punk rock and started going to all-ages shows, definitely one of the more influential things to happen in my life and impacted my style in a huge way, as cringey as all that eyeliner was.
2007- As my musical taste expanded so did my "style”. In 2007 I went blonde for the first time, my friend bleached my hair with box dye in her bathroom. Then after a terrible haircut I started chopping my own hair (yikes). I also discovered skinny jeans. I really wanted to look like the lovechild of Courtney Love and Debbie Harry but let’s be real, I was a hot fucking mess!
2013- Definitely the longest-lasting style era of Slanes, I was a rockabilly bitch from ~2009-2016. And boy was I dedicated! I had the babiest bettie-bangs and a massive closet full of vintage and reproduction clothes. This was definitely a great time in my life, I was in awesome shape, good health, killing it at school and work and had a great side gig as a pin-up model. In a lot of ways I miss this time but I definitely do not miss getting up at the crack of dawn to tease my hair into a beehive.
2020- I feel in a lot of ways, my style has gone full-circle back to band shirts and a lot of black. I’ve also finally embraced the fact that I goddamn need glasses. Overall, my style has gotten much simpler as my life has gotten much more complicated but at least I can say I have better eyebrows.
Thank you for entertaining this self-indulgent trip down memory lane. Feel free to do this with your simself or any simmy! Just be sure to tag me :)
