Yuki and Fashion

I have always admired friends of mine that have rocked a flawless sets of outfits over the years, fishing into styles and stores with as much ease as a fish in water. Fashion makes me happy. It makes my eyes happy. And I love being happy.

However, unfortunately, I have a lot of trouble with fashion myself. I love clothes, shoes and bags for their own selves, but I have always had a lack of talent for coordinating all of them together. I might get a hinch for a special type of outfit one day, get a vision in my mind as I wake up, and when I wear it, it looks stunning. That does happen. And god I love those days, because dressing up in the morning is so easy. Most of the time, however, dressing up is a nightmare for me. I either not know what style I want to look like, or just don't know what goes with what I want to wear.

I have had the bad habit of buying single pieces of clothing that look amazing, without thinking about the overall outfit I am supposed to wear it with. I thus often find myself with amazing-looking pieces of clothes, but never anywhere to wear them at.

This year, however, I have found out one of my major fashion flaw and I am trying to fix it.

I lack base stuff.

I was refusing to buy black coats because everyone has black coats. It makes winters boring and dark, like a funeral. I was refusing to buy black shoes, there was nothing special about them. I was refusing to wear pants (for three years when I was in university, I did not even OWN a pair of pants) because it was too simple. The everyday wear for any John or Jane Doe.

However, I need this simple pair of pants to make a great shirt stand out, need that black jacket to make that bright scarf look amazing, need that pair of black shoe to drag attention away from my feet and unto that other piece of clothing I am wearing.

I am learing the Korean "point" of showing off one aspect at a time, while still looking better than the average Jeans T-shirt. There is a way to make any piece of clothing look nice, and what a better place to learn that than being in the fashion-obsessed South Korean peninsula?
