Can the fashionable south rise again? In some parts of the world fashion is something that cannot be dictated. There are people who actually dress to the beat of their own drum. This could essentially be considered a good thing but when its bad, then its really bad! During my visit to Atlanta, GA, I have seen a fashion style that has made me cry out "Oh Why".
Admittingly it wasnt that people were walking around with neon shell suits or white high heels with socks, its just that they seem to put very little effort in what they wore, and when they did they seemed to take it that little bit too far. It seems that comfort plays a big part in how Atlanta women dress. You know what i mean, the man jeans, the sweatshirt, and trainers (sneakers to some of you). Then when it comes to dressing it up, I feel like explaining the take one piece of theory known to all fashionistas.
Granted the style i am describing is not the style adopted by all, but it was indeed the style of the majority. Last words? Come on you Atlanta southerners jazz it up a tad. You have great weather down here, cute boutiques both vintage and designer and your prices are out of this world. So come on be part of the rising of the fashionable south and shine with pride!
Hints: Here are a few cute places that became home to me and should be a must visit in Atlanta for those fashionistas who love individual style at great price-
Junkman's Daughter- Moreland Ave, Atlanta GA-Psycho Sisters- Moreland Ave, Atalnta, GA-East Atlanta Village, Atlanta, GA- especially check out Sugar Britches-Virginia Highlands, Atlanta GA-Lastly, for those who enjoy shopping at a more recognised chain store check out Forever 21 for the cutest dresses a girl fashionista can ever own!!!
