What fashion type are you??

The artist guy...are rare form of man found in orange county that can be either asmazingly interesting or just plain out there.  Lucky for me, i have many aert friends at my disposal and use them quite frequently.  For this particular assignment, I decided to catch up with an old friend of mine from High School who makes t-shirts to raise awareness for issues such as catrina, the haiti earthquake, the invisible children in africa and many other world issues.  Here I have a picture of drew wearing one of his own designs that he made after seeing the movie "Invisible Children". 
This is one of the many shirts.  A white cotton shirt with an invisible children logo stenseled onto it complete with a 'rasta' style africa over the heart.    You can find many different shirts made by Drew and his friends at Mission Viejo High School on facebook. 


In life there are many different types of people; serious people, fun peoplem, boring people...the list goes on and on of the different types of stereotypes that society seems to pidgeon people into.  Ironically, there is almost no one group of clothing that people can be put into (uniforms aside).  We live in a fashion world where anyone can wear pretty much to anything they want and still be look convincing or put together.  You cabn wear a deginer top and place it with a pear of cheap tights and look fantastic.  There are almost no rules or boundries anymore. 

One particilar look that I am very fond of is the glamorous look.  The ultra fabulous and over the topic aspect of fashion all pilled into one outfit. 
This dress is from Alexander Mcqueens Resort 2009 collection.  It is a yellow cotton dress with a lace overlay.  This dress alone is a fabulous look and piece.  You could wear something like this anywhere and everywhere.  But without a few fabulous accessories, it lacks that certain glamorous appeal that I am looking for.  I would most likely pair this with Celcitc Lace tights also by Alexander Mcqueen from the Fall/Winter 2010 collection, and Christian Louboutin lace shoes.
