SWAG, STYLE, DRIP, FLOSS, FLY, FLEX, BAD ASS, DOPE, FRESH, SMOOTH, FIRE, TIGHT……
We wake up, get ready to get gone, walk out of the door, catch a glimpse of ourselves in a shop window and give ourselves a nod, the nod of OOOOH yesss!
This may be my favorite department, STYLE not just fashion. Individual style has me following folk down the street like a stalker, or taking sneaky pictures. Individual swag is my favourite.
Here’s another mum story…you know the stories your mum always tell you… on repeat…
“When you were 2 we had a small back garden in Shepherds Bush. We were off to have a tidy up out there. I pulled out a flowered skirt and a striped t-shirt.. You looked at me and said NO No mummy No it don’t go”
“Kels we are going in the garden it doesn’t matter”
Of course at 2 years old I didn’t have a word for clash but I was clearly telling my mum they didn’t go together. I didn’t have many clothes to choose from but from then on whenever I could I would mostly choose what I was going to wear for the day.
For ‘Stylish on Purpose’, I’m going to explore my own history of style and fashion and meet those who are droppin some slickness in the world of clobber and projecting a proper statement.
