Over or Under (Dressed) – The Sartorial Showdown
If you’ve ever found yourself sipping a latte in a ball gown or grabbing groceries in sequins, this post is for you. Let’s tackle the age-old dilemma: to overdress or underdress? It’s a fashion tightrope walk that’s puzzled even the savviest style mavens.
But fret not! Today, we’re diving into this sartorial showdown with a bit of help from some of fashion’s most iconic voices.
The Overdressed Affair
Oscar Wilde once said, “You can never be overdressed or overeducated.” Wise, Mr. Wilde, but let’s face it—showing up to a backyard barbecue in a tuxedo and stilettos might leave you awkwardly clutching a paper plate of potato salad, wondering where it all went wrong. Overdressing can be a bold statement, a way of saying, “I value myself enough to wear silk to a burger joint.” Yet, it can also make you the accidental headliner of a solo fashion show—Great fun, unless that’s not what you were aiming for.
Fabric Follies: The Art (and Hilarity) of
Picking the Perfect Material for Your Outfit
Ah, fabric selection—the unsung hero of the fashion world. You might think it’s just about choosing something that feels nice, but oh no, dear reader, it’s a labyrinth of textures, weights, and potential wardrobe malfunctions.

So, grab your sewing scissors and let’s dive into the whimsical world of fabric selection!
Cotton: The Reliable Best Friend Cotton is like that dependable friend who’s always up for a movie night or an impromptu road trip. Breathable, versatile, and available in more colours than a candy store, cotton is a safe bet for almost any casual
outing.
How I Ended Up Homeless in New York
with a Suitcase Full of Designer Clothes
Ah, the life of a designer. Glamorous jet-setting, sipping cocktails by turquoise beaches, and casually sketching the next big runway hit on a napkin as you breeze through the world. Or, in my case, getting lost, broke, and accidentally becoming an international fashion disaster.
The Beginning…
At 16, I made it my life’s mission to see as much of the world as possible. Why? Because why not, I felt the pull. It seemed like the thing that would make my future self feel impressive and successful. But unfortunately, my bank account was still in its rebellious teen phase, refusing to support my global dreams.
So I waited. And waited. Until one fateful day, after years of determination, some miraculous circumstances aligned.
A Day in the Life of a Fashion Designer:
Where Glitter Meets Chaos
A day in the life of a fashion designer. People think it’s all about sipping lattes, sketching glamorous outfits, and attending fabulous events, right? Well, let me tell you—it’s more like running a marathon in a pair of stilettos while blindfolded. And just to make things interesting, someone’s constantly handing you a cup of spilt coffee.
6:30 AM: The Wake-Up Call
The first battle of the day begins with the alarm. Beep, beep, beep! You wake up groggily, reaching for your phone as if it’s the Holy Grail of productivity. You check your emails… and then wonder how someone managed to send you a message at 3 AM about “a minor issue” with a dress hem. At this point, your bed becomes a battlefield. On one side, there’s your cosy duvet; on the other side, your looming to-do list, but in the end, your bed wins, and you snooze for another 20 minutes. Because if you’re not fashionably late, are you even really a designer?
