thoughts

as most of you know, I am an avid WAYWT poster on a couple of forums. Yesterday I was wearing a skeleton t-shirt, jeans and converse and decided to throw my RO jacket on top of it. One poster was surprised to see me pair such an impact piece with a very commonplace outfit (print tee+jeans+converse). To a certain extent I agree, sometimes statement pieces should be "respected" in a sartorial sense, letting them shine in an aesthetically coherent context, and not let the clothes look as if they were bought JUST because they're hyped. But the other part of me wants to take those beautiful clothes and treat them as I would treat all the other "mortals" in my closet (H&M, et al)! I know for a fact that Rick Owens intends for his pieces to be worn to death, ripped a bit even, and not glorified.

I try to keep all these factors in mind while shopping. Are my new buys coherent with the rest of my wardrobe?

I don't think it's a bad thing to think out one's outfits, just as long as they don't look too "try-hard".

What are your thoughts on the matter?
