It probably sounds like a dream. Living in Europe's fashion capital where Louis and Prada are your best friends and every day is a practically a street fashion show. I may have made the assumption that when I moved to Milan I was going to magically become some high fashion guru, but my fashion sense alongside my bank account have decided otherwise. Now I'm learning to use my below par style to fit into this glamourous lifestyle. This is what it's like being a yoga pant girl in a fashionista world.
1. Borrowing clothes has become a hobby.
I should probably start paying rent for my friend's closets.
2. People actually notice when you "dress up."
Oh, this old thing? Literally, It's been in my closet for ages. It was just hidden under my Lulu's and t-shirts.
3. You can't wrap your head around the fact that people think jeans are comfortable.
That right there is the true meaning behind "beauty is pain."
4. Shopping is a talent you aspire to be good at.
Walking into H&M is more of a nightmare than a treat. I either walk out empty handed or with a horribly boring piece of clothing. Ugh, this is stressful. Perhaps hiring a personal shopper wouldn't hurt.
5. Outfit repeating is like... your calling.
Do you genuinely think they'll notice that I've worn this gray sweater three times this week? Maybe I'll throw on some earrings to distract anyone's suspicions.
6. You live vicariously through your Pinterest boards.
My Pinterest screams high fashion runway model with excellent taste in design and couture, but my life screams "help her... please."
7. You're always a few months behind the fashion bandwagon.
I mean, at least I get around to it. That way I never have to worry about anyone showing up in the same outfit as me. It's truly a win-win for everyone.
In the end, there is no limit on what is considered "fashionable," right? So cheers to yoga pants and a mediocre taste in fashion- we look good ladies.
