Another thing about living in NY. The single life. I don't think people go to NY with their dreams and hopes with a lover tagged along. Not saying that my one and only isn't welcome nor invited, but it is a part of that "scene." Club hopping, parties, dinners, random escapades...there's a million people in NYC...who doesn't want to dip their hands into that melting pot? Don't get me wrong, relationships are great: love, no lonely weekends, always something/one to do...yadda yadda. But single in the "Big" city. Think about it, millions of potential first dates, thousands of places to go, sex under city lights...sigh.
On to the fashion of one of my favorite TV shows...
Carrie Bradshaw. The epitome of the fashion obsessed writer that I am. Granted, I'm not a 40 something but when she arrived there...she was a 20 something staring into the big lights and calling it home.
After numerous hours of re-runs then finally getting the seasons, I have noticed the fashion genius behind each character. First, there's Carrie. Her style ranges from uptown to sometimes outlandish to sex kitten all at one time. (sex kitten outfit #1 - the bus billboard dress, naked for Big?). She always has on Italian pumps to match any outfit or bring a bit of flare to it. Second, Miranda, the lawyer. Clearly she's always in a tailored business cut outfit and when it comes to partying she throws a splash of glam and femininity mixed with a very versatile style. Charlotte, the sweet and innocent, Chanel bags with the "sweater wrapped around my neck tank and skirt" preppy appeal. Finally, Samantha, the sex Queen. Her style is all about boasting her sexual prowess through seductive dipping blouses, dresses, and form fitting skirts. She is after all, on the chase.
For any want-to-be fashionista, we should all know that HBO's most popular female show is Sex and the City. We watched it for the outfits, the city life, and of course the sex. We stood in awe of the outfits our favorite characters wore and tried to mimic them while knowing we would we be stared at and questioned. But what's it to a fashion forward diva? Nothing, because fashion is what we breathe and in this ghetto of mine...it's all the sanity I have. Material wise.
A quote for the fashion obsessed : “I admit it's tempting to wish for the perfect boss - the perfect parent - or the perfect outfit. But maybe the best any of us can do is not quit, play the hand we've been dealt, and accessorize what we've got.
-Carrie (Sex & the City)”
