A Hippie Anecdote


All my life I have been having fun experimenting with different fashion styles..I went through a punk phaze, goth phaze, rockabilly phaze, 1940s/1950s phaze, indie rock phaze, well, basically every fashion you can think of..haha. But I've always went back to what I love the most..hippie/boho fashion coz that is the real me! I'm totally a flower child, so now I've transitioned back to being a hippie girl. Yes, sometimes I do a 1970s Marcia Brady style, but I prefer the look that Kate Hudson had in Almost Famous. I don't like to copy other people, thats never really been my intention, I like to see and take certain aspects of fashion & put them together to make it my own. A few years ago in high school, there was a clique of hippie people whom I admired very much. At that point, I was totally clueless to fashion & just wore what I wanted to wear, mostly dark stuff. I didn't even know who The Doors were. I was in an art class filled with super groovy people & sadly I wasn't one of them. I began to search my soul for an answer & started to wear hippie skirts, tie-dye, & introduce myself to psychedelic music & something in my clicked for the first time, I knew who I was..although as a child, I was the original daisy girl, I wore flowers in my hair all the time, I just never realized what it all meant until later on in life. So, yeah, fashion journeys can be fun, tiresome, whacky, tacky, and in the end, you trully discover the real you! So, I'd like to thank all the wonderful hippie girls and guys who were in my art class for opening my eyes and finally finding out who I am.
