Fashion through my ages.

Age 2: You don't need your mother's help anymore. You're big now. Your ready to dress yourself. Today is your independence day! you meant to put your shirt on backwards!!

Age 3: Halloween was the greatest day of your life. you want to feel like that every day. they cant get that costume off you if you lay down on the floor and start kicking and screaming.

Age 5: sparkle, you love anything and everything in sparkle. It goes with everything. it even matches the fluffy little glitter horse on the end of your school pencil.

Age 8: You met a horse (pig, kitten,whatever). your in love. Horses on everything. And unicorns! They're horses, but even more cooler. 

Age 9: Some bitchy girl in 5th class tells you what your wearing is for babies. You take it off in shame. You go home and realize you have noting to wear.

Age 10: You show up at a sleepover with a teddy and matching PJ's, but everyone is wearing band t-shirts and shorts. When did this happen? Why weren't you told?!!!! It's time to fake a stomach ache until you can get rid of the teddy and become 'Boyzone or East 17' biggest fan.

Age 13: Your in secondary school now. Picture day is no joking matter. You need a whole new look. These pictures matter. Like a lot.

Age 14: That rich girl in your class has the coolest 'everything Nike'. You hate her. she's mean. You have to have one. Maybe I can convince my parents to do a joint Christmas/birthday present. You will of course never ask for anything again.

Age 17: Debs, all you can think of is the Debs dress. You tell your date the colour of your dress so he can coordinate his vest to match, but he's not sure what mauve looks like. He shows up in orange with a red rose. The night is ruined!

Age 18: You get to college. These guys are hot! Every night is a new opportunity to go out and hook up! It's freezing outside but your sexiest top has spaghetti straps and really only looks good with a mini skirt. You drink more so you won't feel the cold.

Age 22: College is over and interviews start...you wear something that makes you look like an older version of yourself... result? You look like a school teacher... mmm

Age 24: Your making money, your own money. You work hard. Its time to buy a really nice bag. Its an investment. You'll have it forever. You want Chanel. The black one. Then you realize how expense these cost and how long you would have to work to get it? Feck it, your buying it and using your rent money.

Age 24 1/4: You realize the bag is too damn small! It always looks like its about to pop, but the next size up was an additional 1500 euro. What the fuck? Is that a pen mark? Is that a FUCKING PEN mark?? Chanel Bag...Blackout.

Age 26: Flash sales are taking over your life. Those deep discounts on clothes are too good to pass up. Something new is in the mail everyday ( Amy Richardson). You have so much stuff you forget whats there. More than a few things unworn. Your credit card bill comes and you cant bring yourself to open it. It just sits on the table and stares at you.

Age 29: You thought you'd be making more money by now. Clothes are too fucking expensive. If you cant wear it to work your not buying it. Period.
