Something Clever: A Fashion Blog: As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts......

So.. Mumford and Sons is a band I am semi-obsessed with currently. Between their raw, poetic, heart wrenching lyrics, banjo playing, and strong English roots, they are irresistible to me. Now, what does this have to do with fashion? Nothing really.. and yet... to me, fashion is a creative expression, just like music. I connect the two instantly together, which is partly because visualization is now a HUGE part of music (living in the age of MTV) and also since I am so passionate about both, mixing them together is natural. So, to understand better.. scenario: you are listening to an amazing song, while the music is flowing through your headphones you begin to play out the song in your mind. You assimilate it, then connect it with a scene. FOR EXAMPLE: California Girls always has me picturing an insanE beach party, everyone clad in cute bikinis, board shorts, v-neck t-shirts, denim skirts ect. (you get the picture). Now, with Mumford and Sons, I always picture them singing in a 1950s British factory in working men attire. (newsboy caps and all! ) Now, much to my surprise, (I thought I was just being stereotypical) when I looked up the real fellas, their look wasn't horribly different. Lots of vests, fedoras/newsboys, plaid, and simple brown cords (as you can see by the picture above). Their look gave me the inspiration to mimic the good-ol-boys folkie style into a female, fall must-have ensemble! So, throw on these inspired pieces as you run into a field of flowers in slow motion blaring Little Lion Man (it would be very indie) as I try to insert something clever... (p.s. - i would 1,000,000% wear this.. to die for!)
