TOM BOY AT HEART
Anyone who knows me well enough knows not to expect to see me rock up to any event, function, party, coffee date or even the beach during a hot summers day in a skirt let alone a dress. It just doesn’t happen, no sir, not this girl. I’m a refined tomboy at heard and the thought of wearing a dress or a skirt makes me feel a little uncomfortable. That most certainly doesn’t mean I’m self-conscious in the slightest. I remember when I was 13 and I wanted to look like all the other pretty girls in my grade so I decided it was about time I started acting like a female. I dragged my mom to one of the fashion outlets and attempted to enjoy trying on countless skirts and dresses for a few hours longer then my mom thought was an appropriate time frame to shop. To my surprise I did not enjoy the whole girly look even if I did have the luxury of getting whatever outfit I wanted. I realised from that day at age 13 that dresses and skirts just weren’t for me. Since then I’ve started appreciating a lovely dress or skirt, I enjoy finding an elegant skirt / dress my heard still belongs to my beloved jeans and pants.
So when it came to shooting the Le Specs glasses range I was slightly excited to strip myself of the tom boy, jeans so skinny they could make anyone look thinner look and strut around in a mini high wasted, beautifully tailored Sheike skirt and tight navy Zara shirt.
If I didn’t need 110% effort to convince me that my legs looked totally normal in a skirt the weather was not on our side that day either. Melbourne weather for you, mood swings worse then a hormonal female. It didn’t take me long to appreciate the freedom I got from wearing something completely out of my normal day-to-day wear and with those boots and reflective red tinted sunglasses, even world domination was possible.
