yesterday a friend / ex-coworker e-mailed me a link that i thought was pretty cool :
i mean, it's nymag.com's The Cut, and i shamelessly admit that i'm completely addicted...
PLUS i get my own picture next to tim gunn and heidi klum? score!
then i proceeded to read the comments under, and my happy moment died a little. some fellow nymag.com reader feedback (see more here) :

then i proceeded to read the comments under, and my happy moment died a little. some fellow nymag.com reader feedback (see more here) :
"I thought it was Cut editorial policy to support pants.."
"...This outfit looks terrible though. Especially the shoes."
"She could've atleast acted like she liked it herself HAHA I know nobody else can. Hideous."
"Who you trying to fool?"

yikes.
yeah, no big deal it's the fashion world right? it thrives off of criticism, critique, & controversy. i don't really expect everyone to see clothes/outfits/fashion/style in the same way i do. that's why i blog and upload photos occasionally to chictopia, lookbook.nu, or in this case nymag.com. to share my own idea of what aesthetically pleases, intrigues, & charms me while documenting my adventures and discoveries along the way, for me, friends, family, and anyone who's interested / inspired by these things. posting fantastical and outlandish envisionings of potentially wearable outfits; sharing fashion spreads and photoshoots that inspire me; exposing trinkets and places that i've discovered and come to treasure; documenting hobovogue .
ultimately, i try to dress myself so that there's some sort of alignment between my aesthetics and my appearance; in a way, my outfit becomes part of my everyday life - my lifestyle, my vogue. because at the end of the day, what you're wearing does impact your life. i have to be able to walk in my outfits for distances, hop over fences, etc depending on what errands i have to run, the places i have to go. all without compromising my need to satisfy my aesthetic vision because simply, i can't and won't .
whatever that means. anyway, just some food for thought. original hobovogue post here:

ReplyDeleteHere's the thing you need to remember...you were featured; they weren't. You look amazing in that outfit - as does NYMag. Take the harsh comments in stride - the same way everyone from Britney Spears to Angelina Jolie do. Don't let negativity ruin your moment! :)
