I Don't Do Denim...But

photo:Kirchhoff, is to blame.


By browsing through the numerous fashion posts on my blog, it is clearly evident I'm not a huge fan of denim in any shape or form. For not once has the likes of denim been featured, If my memory is correct there isn't even a hint of the blue stuff to be found any where on prettyneons.
Denim has been kicking around for donkeys years, so when fashion magazines categorize denim as a current trend season in and season out year after year it does half irritate and grate on me. Reason being: denim is a stable in everyone's wardrobe (boy and girl) across the land: there for how on earth does denim do it? You know manage to creep in and be apart of a trend feature, when it never disappears: when was the last time denim was ever even slightly absent? Um never me thinks is the correct answer to my own burning question. Perhaps this is the very reason behind the lack of denim on my little prettyneon blog, I'm sick of seeing it cannot stomach jeans or jean skirts had it up to hear (pointing at my head). Plus I never EVER want to be reminded of the time when I pasted up Bewitched posters on my pony pink bedroom wall- 'never forget' they say: nope please I am desperate to escape that pre- teen awful, awful music phase. Of which conjures up many shades of denim.

However I'm a contradiction plus I'm more then due to confront my denim demons. Once and for all...Now I've tried time and time again to shake off the Kirchhoff denim outfit which remains stored in that damn wardrobe fashion memory bank of mine, I realise all this time I've been in deep denial. Denial as the 'Kirc ensemble has me secretly (or not so secret anymore) longing and desiring denim! There I confessed. I do do denim, though whether denim desires me is another matter? I do not suit trousers and so jeans are out of the picture really. I'm lucky as with jeans I never have too much of a struggle and drama with, I know my size and shape so trying them on isn't a issue. However I often feel too tomboyish (as I am a bit tomboy) wearing jeans or trousers in general, so I feel its easier to fake a dose of femininity and girly girl in a cute skirt. Dresses are also extremely effortless none of that 'which tee to wear' conundrum, a dress is within my comfort zone. Grab a frock and cropped coat or blazer and off I trot, fooling all into believing I adore chic flicks and facials ha ha...I detest all chic flicks!

So anywho's I'm going to challenge my skirt wearing self and take a huge almighty step outside my garment comfort zone, I'm choosing not to ponder over the yet tragic and dire denim results: Here are the deadly denim items I'm going to purchase and experiment with: god help me, here it goes folks...
