So my wardrobe and I channelled Glam Grunge all weekend and we like to call it "Glunge." Chan Marshall and Slash were my muses which meant skinny minnie legs created by nutcracking tight jeans paired with Doc martens and big messy hair. However, I had less hash and greasy hair and more Sem Sauv and Chanel than my style mentors. Its okay to look grungy as long as you still look clean in my opinion. Ripped jeans and baggy t-shirts look cool but look like you lead a mosh pit not someone who spent too long in the mosh pit. Polished make up teamed with dishevelled clothes is GNARLY. Dirty hair and dirty eyeliner complimenting grubby looking "rock" clothes is BOGAN.Faded t-shirts look great a little over sized and with a hint of a sexy bra strap on a tanned shoulder. Accessories should be small but layered in multiples, think loads of rings, necklace and earrings that would make a hippy proud. Now that you have been schooled in the art of zen and hygiene rock chic ponder over the below:
This look is nothing new or even that daring but it is definitely a hit amongst Aussie girls. We all love to channel rock chick. Why?
I think that maybe our surf lifestyle translates really nicely into rock and roll chic. Surf brands make denim and t-shirts that work well in Patti Smithesque ensembles and our sexy, salty Bondi beach hair also translates extraordinarily. We like to have fun and experiment and we can do that with rock looks by layering accessories and customising our clothes.
Plus rock and roll will always be sexy. Love it
Small thoughts but worth sharing.
Ps. the creepy hearse in the picture is frequently parked in my apartment block garage. isn't it bazaar? it has a shiny red coffin inside it. It must be a gag right?
We-ird!
