Sally adds that GUYS could potentially follow this too. And that this list isn't really non-conformist anyway because it's OUR tips, therefore, not really YOU you. It seems like it's mostly punk/rocker stuff anyways. XD But give it a try, eh? ;) You never know.
How YOU doing? Well anyways, here is the 411 for this page... well you see... my name is Lea, and I put up this site with my friend Sal... basically to show off our wicked ass style and to make money off telling other people what to wear... all because we are too cool for you (jokes... psht, we WISH)...
ATTITUDE MUST COINCIDE WITH OUTFIT..be positive! BECAUSE EVERYONE LOVVESSSS YOOUU..and if they don't than at least Sally and I do..oh yeah and God too!
RIPPED CLOTHES ARE STILL GOOD TO USE unless you are in the presence of guest or relatives...and so are clothes spattered with paint (however stained clothes do not that the same effect..and neither does holes in the pant crotch..also NOT good)
BE YOURSELF choose your own style and go with it..if you look thrifty oh well..you never know someone might just mistake you for a hobo and give you money ($$ YAY MONEY $$)
BE EDGY not slutty- trust me there is a BIG difference...think of Amy Lee from Evanescence and compare her to Christina Aguilera (POINT PROVEN)
BE WACKY- why not make your own jewerly to fit your own personal style?
BE SPUNKY- Try different styles of applying makeup- try different shades (be bright, be you)
BE COMFORTABLE- if it doesn't feel right...don't wear it. Fashion isn't worth getting a rash or wegdy over.
BE PRACTICAL- get clothes that range in price, cause if you always buy expensive clothes and they somehow get ruined or stolen, then you are just plain ol' SCREWED aren't you?
more advice from Lea to come....
1. Because Leanne is crazy, don't listen to her. XD (Lea says: I deeply resent that)
2. "Don't tuck in your shirt and wear a belt. That's tacky and there will never be a time when it isn't."
3. Be yourself and don't follow trends. They're all going to change, and that's expensive to keep up with. Besides, it'll impress more people if you follow your individual style than buy into what other people are into.
4. Please, for the love of God, for whatever reason, do not pick up a fugly colour item of clothing, or anything fugly in general - even if it's on sale at 95% off. There is a REASON why it'll be 95% off. Me, Leanne, and other shoppers out there thanks you greatly for this.
5. Also, try to avoid purchases of blindingly-bright-it's-downright-reflective clothes. Thanks in advance for saving me money in the long run now that I won't turn blind.
6. Sign the damn guestbook. =)
7. You know, wear whatever crazy thing you're feeling at the moment. Pink? Go for it. Neon green? Hey, why not? Who gives a crap about what others think about how you look? Life's too short to include listening to the opinions of insecure, superficial people. Far too short. No, we don't count as insecure and superficial individuals simply because we AREN'T. =P We're not telling you that you're ugly or whatever, but you could learn a few things from us.
8. There's a fine line between sexy and skanky. Please don't cross it. [For references, please read Lea's #4.]
9. Don't change who you are just to fit in and keep a certain image. Seriously. I trust that you know the repurcussions of doing as such, so I won't lecture you on it.
