It’s Not Always About What You Wear

It’s how you wear it that matters.

So stop starving yourself to save up for that overpriced Louis Vuitton bag. Carrying it around will not make you look any better than carrying a random environmental friendly grocery bag.

I honestly don’t get why some people ONLY wear designer clothes. Sometimes, some people only wear designer clothes that they can’t even afford. What’s the reason? Ego? Oh yeah ego can feed an entire country.

No. Wait.

Ego can’t feed an entire country. The amount of money spent feeding your ego might be able to though.

I’m not trying to be mean here. I’m just trying to state my disappointment at how some people can be so condescending sometimes. Judging people from the brands of their clothing? Or should I say, belittling people just because they’re not wearing expensive clothes? When did humanity stoop to such an alarmingly low level?

Weren’t clothes invented to protect our bodies? When did our clothes decide who we are?

No, they don’t. Because we’re supposed to decide the things we wear. Don’t wear something just because everyone’s wearing it. Wear it because you think you can pull it off. Because when you think you can pull it off, you probably will. But let’s assume you have at least SOME sense in you la.

Moral of the story: Wear your clothes. Don’t let them wear you.

Yay. Done. I sound like a PSA wth.

And to prove my point, I shall show you a rather ugly shirt that I made.

Remember the last time I kind of lost my mind and decided to make a shirt from scratch?? Well, I made another one wth.

Based on this design that I random drew one night:

shirt drawing

The inspiration came from a chef’s uniform :P

And the final result looks like this:

real shirt

Yes I sengaja made the photo so small so you won’t be able to see it clearly.

Jauh panggang dari api yeah I know shut up thank you very much.

buttons

But the buttons are cute right right right???

And honestly, I don’t think it looks too bad on me.

Not too good, but at least it looks better than on the hanger.

pose 1

RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT???

*takes out gun and loads it with bullets*

RIGHTTTTTTTTT??

That’s the most normal photo that I was able to take.

More insanely posey photos after the jump. Not for the weak hearted thank you.

SCROLL DOWN ONLY IF YOU CAN HANDLE MY POSERNESS!

I was thinking of aeroplanes :D FLY FLY FLY

Speaking of flying, there’s a freaking annoying mosquito in my room now!

pose 4

Erk. Don’t ask me what I was doing.

pose 2

I don’t know what I was doing here either.

pose 5

Oh! My shirt is very versatile okay! It looks decent with a jacket too!

pose 6

Okay. Bad angle. Actually it looks pretty good with a vest too but I was too tired to change.

And one thing I’m looking forward about uni starting soon is that I’ll have more subjects to photograph. I’m seriously kind of bored of taking photos of myself with my tripod and self-timer! And that’s saying something!

That’s all!

Cya!

    still, nice job~ both on the shirt and the camwhoring
