I recently moved house & had to downsize on wardrobe space and it made me realise I kept far too many clothes & shoes for 'best' and haven't got much wear out of them. So I've decided that in November I am going to spend 30 days wearing different clothes & shoes, all from my own wardrobe but never wear the same thing again in that 30 day period. I also must not buy anything new. Of course I don't need anything new as I have at least 40 pairs of shoes, and amongst them at least 12 pairs of ballet flats! In terms of clothes, I'm ashamed to say I still have items in my wardrobe that have the tags on them, although they have been purchased in 2011 at least. I also feel I've neglected my blog recently, so thought this was a good plan to get me blogging every day, with photos for each day being posted on the blog.
I'm not what you would describe as a 'fashionista', as I'm not someone with an obviously quirky sense of style, but that doesn't mean I don't love fashion. I've also lost some weight in the last year which has contributed to me buying some new things (some un-worn as yet), and I've gained a bit more confidence in how I look. I know I can be lazy and wear plain & boring things sometimes; my staples seem to be a top & jeans with ballet pumps or jersey dress & leggings - all while other lovely clothes sit hanging in the wardrobe waiting to be worn. This is why I think I should do this project for no obvious purpose, but to just let my clothes live! In some way I would like to raise some money for charity, as I have done recently by selling old clothes on eBay. Aside from selling clothes for charity at the end of the project I'm at a loss as how to do this, as I don't really want to sell my nicest clothes off just yet!
Some rules have now been set as these need to be stated before the project begins:
1. Different clothing and footwear must be worn each day between the 1st & 30th November 2011 inclusive.
2. By clothing I mean top, dress, trousers, cardigan, so this does not include leggings, socks, coats or undergarments. I certainly don't own that many coats! 3. Clothing & shoes worn for gym visits & playing squash / badminton will be exempt from the project. As much as I plan to go to the gym more in November, am not sure if this rule is that relevant! This also applies to outdoor shoes in bad weather on a work day. I walk over a mile a day between my place of work & the train station and don't really fancy potentially ruining a nice pair of shoes in bad weather just because of this project.
4. Handbags should not be used more than 4 times over the course of the project, although gym bag is exempt.
5. If separate evening outfits are required over the course of the month on occasion, these must also be something not worn at any other time in the 30 days.
6. No new clothing, shoe or handbag purchases can be made in November. eBay purchases may be allowed, but will face that issue if it happens.
7. New rules can be created as time goes on when situations arise - this is meant to be a fun project after all!
Suggestions for how I can raise money for charity would be welcome - as long as they are reasonable! I will also probably think of more rules before I start, but the general rule is not to wear the same thing twice in 30 days. To keep with the fact I love music as well as fashion I'm going to set a song or album of the day. With all this blogging, I wonder if I'll actually have time to do anything else!

Women in Music
Over the last 20 years the rise of the female artist has been growing. In the early 90s there were virtually no girl bands, and the only major female singers in the chart were Kate Bush and Annie Lennox. They were the exception rather than the norm, but they sold lots of records, so why were there so few women selling albums back then?
It's pretty obvious to say that the music industry is rather male oriented and sexist. If you're a woman in the industry, whether as an artist or behind the scenes, you have to be tough and very thick skinned to even be treated on the same level as men. This used to be an industry where it was commonplace to have meetings in strip clubs. It's not so archaic a concept as this was still happening in the early noughties.
As more and more talented women move their way up in the world of music, the behaviour surrounding them gets a little better. This really isn't much to do with men in the industry treating them better, but the fact that record companies don't have the disposable income to spend on hospitality they once did. These days the people that are actually still selling the records are women.
Why has it taken the world so long to realise that there are just as many talented female musicians out there? Well as I mentioned earlier, men have always dominated the industry. They have it easy really, as long as they have some talent and the singer has a bit of charisma, that's all they need. Women have to look the part. Unless of course their talent is so astounding their appearance is overlooked. This is the exception rather than the rule. Janis Joplin was a supremely talented singer who was very insecure about her looks. She never felt pretty enough and took a lot of drugs to feel better about herself. Unfortunately her life was cut short due to her overdosing at the ripe old age of 27. She could have gone on to do so much more, but never felt good enough.
Personally I think the main reason there are more women selling albums these days is because more women buy music than men. Of course this is a generalisation and I'm not going to say that men are more tech savvy so download more music illegally. I wouldn't know, I'm quite a tech savvy woman and know a fair few less technically able blokes! A few months ago the top 5 albums in the UK chart were all by female artists. Ok, it was the week after Amy Winehouse died and two of the albums were hers. The other three were by Beyonce and Adele who's had both her albums in the top 5 for most of 2011.
These women are (were in Amy's case) very talented artists who've worked hard to achieve their success. The other thing they have in common is that they stick to their own agenda. They also have strong personalities which endear them to fans. I think female artists are more comfortable with bearing their souls a little more and admitting their mistakes. So many of the songs on these top 5 albums speak to women (and men) about love and life and relationships. It will be interesting to see how Beyonce's career changes, or not once she has her baby in 2012. Obviously she won't be a typical working mum with all her millions. She probably will never need to work again, but I have a feeling she'll work just as hard as she always has done with her music, as that's the kind of lady she is! I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up on the American Idol panel in a few years, though in some ways that is kind of beneath her.
What I'm basically trying to say is that it may be easier for women to break into the music industry now than it was 20 plus years ago, but it's still pretty difficult. If you want to perform, you still have to 'look right' more than the men do. You also have to be pretty strong willed and have a tough exterior, preferably more so than blokes. It's a really difficult industry to break into for anyone, but if you're just average looking and not super confident, it's hard work. I personally think one of the reasons the music industry is slowly dying in a lot of areas is because many people working in the industry have got there on charm and confidence as opposed to having the ability to motivate and innovate. Obviously that's a huge generalisation, but none of the big companies really embraced downloading until iTunes had already taken the marketplace. That's what happens with old boys networks, if only they'd employed more women in the first place!

The Joy of eBay
Is eBay the best online store ever? If you're looking for different things to wear than what's on the high street, eBay is the place to go. Thanks to eBay I've sold lots clothes & accessories I no longer wear but are still in good condition. I've got good prices for things I've not expected to and not sold things I think are really nice! From a buying point of view, I've managed to buy some great accessories I couldn't afford full price when they were on sale in shops.
As far as buyers are concerned, there are three types:
1) Those who think they can get something for nothing - they only bid on items that start at 99p, or make offers on products for less than half the 'buy it now' price. A message to these people: sellers are trying to make some money on here, you wouldn't go into a shop and offer £20 for a handbag with a £60 price tag now would you!?
2) Those who watch but never buy. I've listed things that lots of people have put on their watch lists, but by the time the item has ended it's not taken any bids.I'd like to know the psychology behind this. I generally only watch items I might bid on, or they are similar to things I want to sell so like to see what price they go for.
3) The snipers. These people tend to be a little more tech savvy and have software that puts a bid in for you at the last millisecond. I know if I really want something I should probably get some of this software, but I never want anything quite enough to do that!
My best recent purchase from eBay has been a pair of Vivienne Westwood shoes I wanted to buy a couple of years ago. I could never afford them at the time and they were never in a sale that I could find. I managed to buy a good as new pair for half the original retail price. I think the seller may have bought them in a sale, but at the end of the day I got some lovely new shoes! Friends of mine with children have obtained some really good bargains on clothes etc for their kids. It's an expensive business, so keeping the costs down is very important. One friend of mine got a pack of 10 new plain baby grows for 99p! You certainly couldn't get that in Mothercare!
I can spend hours just browsing on eBay. If I lived somewhere remote far from any decent shops I think I would buy lots more on eBay. A lot of things I've sold seem to go to smaller towns in the UK. I've recently sent a couple of things to Cumbria, not exactly a remote part of England, but not exactly a high street shopping mecca either! The great thing about the internet is it means that all shops are accessible anywhere, as long as they have a decent website.
eBay really is the online store to end all online stores, with new stock every second of the day!

The loss of Amy Winehouse
This week I have been writing my next music post about women in the music industry behind the scenes and in the spotlight. It's not quite finished, but due to today's tragic events I felt the need to write something else first. The loss of Amy Winehouse.
This talented lady brought some great music to the world, the experiences in her life made for some great lyrics and songs, especially on the 'Back to Black' album. Unfortunately, like some talented people in the world, Amy had her demons. Once she had success she was never out of the tabloids and it was hardly ever about her music. The people I know who've seen her live say her voice was astounding. She should be remembered for that voice and not all the other stuff.
At this stage the cause of death has not been made public at least, but it was no secret she had drug and alcohol addictions. It's so sad that someone so young with so much talent can damage themselves to the point of death. Anyone who says she should have got help obviously has never had depression or an addiction. Most addicts want to get better - Amy had been to rehab many times. Her family tried to help her the best they could, but in the end the addictions took her life.
I think I've been quite shocked by this although according to some Twitter statuses I've read, many people are not surprised and said it was only a matter of time. That saddens me. No one, no matter what they do in life, deserves to die at 27. The music world has lost a great talent. I know her next album has been put back and put back. Who knows what they'll release now she's died.
Janis Joplin was also a talented singer with many demons and addictions. A drug overdose took her life at the age of 27 too. Their stars should have shone for a lot longer than they did, but music was better for having known ladies like Janis & Amy.
Forget the drugs and everything else, I hope Amy is remembered for her music and not her 'tragic life'. For me, it's all about the music. Rest in Peace Amy, you may be gone, but your music will never be forgotten.

Leggings - The Rules
I am a wearer of leggings. They are comfortable and good with a dress or skirt that may be a little too short to wear if not for leggings. However, I continually see people of all shapes and sizes wearing them incorrectly, so here are a few rules I think all those considering wearing leggings should be made aware of:
- Leggings are not, I repeat NOT a replacement for trousers. The material is too thin to show one's behind in a pair of leggings. This cannot even be excused by the slimmest of people with the best figures. You would not wear a pair of tights with only a T-Shirt, so why wear leggings with just a top?
- Do not mistake a pair of leggings for something that can make you look taller or thinner. They aren't magic, they're just leggings!
- The ideal length for a pair of leggings should be mid calf or below. Anything above that will definitely do the opposite of making you look taller or thinner. Remember the awful cycling shorts under skirt look in the 90s? Need I say more? If you don't remember it, just look up some videos on Youtube by C&C Music Factory or someone of that ilk. Enough said.

I Love Shoes
Some women own more pairs of shoes than there are days in the year. I heard someone being interviewed on the radio recently who said she owned between 400-500 pairs of shoes. The presenter was aghast! This lady was a singer who earned enough money to buy all of these shoes so why shouldn't she? Men often obsessively collect things - whether it be sci-fi memorabilia, records, antiques, sport merchandise and so on, so why shouldn't women be collectors too?
It's somehow seen as indulgent to collect shoes. Why is it not so indulgent to collect any of things I just mentioned? What practical use do any of these pieces of merchandise have? At least with shoes you can wear them. Of course I won't categorise records as frivolous merchandise as they can be played and listened to, or put in frames on a wall. I also have quite a record collection myself!
I am a shoe collector. No matter whether I am having a thin or a fat day I can wear a nice pair of shoes to go with whatever clothing I choose to put on. What's wrong with that? I do think you can judge a person by their shoes, that's not being mean but if someone makes an effort with their shoes you know they pay attention to detail.
I suppose I see fashion on the whole as a form of art. What we choose to dress ourselves in can be a reflection of our personality. Those of us who care about what we wear from head to toe are in some small way showing ourselves as art on a daily basis. If you do this routine of deciding what to wear every morning, you are an artist of sorts. Why not have plenty of shoes to choose from to reflect how you feel on any given day?
Some pairs of shoes I own are pure works of art, they really are. People would tell me that's a silly thing to say about footwear but I truly believe it. I don't own any shoes by Manolo Blahnik, Chanel, Louboutin or Gina, but for the high street shopping mortals amongst us there are still amazing shoe designs to be found out there. My favourites are Irregular Choice, Red or Dead and Kurt Geiger. I am going to give Irregular Choice their own blog post soon as they deserve it! The main thing I can say about these three brands, along with many others is that they make beautiful & interesting footwear that are not only works of art, but mostly pretty practical and comfortable to wear too. That's not too much to ask from a pair of shoes really is it? Art, beauty, and practicality, what's there not to like about that.
Future posts on shoes will also include photos, as you can't write about things of beauty without showing them too!

First music post / rant
I love music. In fact I was a fan of music way before I became interested in fashion. As a teenager I spent all the money I ever earned on records, and then CDs. These we can get all the music we want. We can spend money on other things. True music fans will spend their money going to gigs & festivals. If I could have had 'free' access to music when I was 17 I would have saved up my hard earned Saturday job earnings on going to Glastonbury. The equivalent price of going in those days was about the cost of 9 or 10 CD albums, which is what I spent most of my money on. I never went to Glastonbury.
The problem with music now being so freely available is not only has it been devalued, but it makes people less disconcerting about what they listen to. If I was 17 now I would have so much more music than I did in the mid 90s when I was that age. I would not have listened to the same handful of CDs I owned over and over. Thing is, those albums have sentimental value to me now even if I rarely listen to them these days. To a lot of people music is very disposable - especially when you can get it for nothing most of the time. Why would you pay for something you can get for free?
Here's the problem. Music isn't free. Music is art, musicians are artists. They need money to buy instruments, travel to gigs, have time in a studio to record so people can hear their music to give them more exposure and create a fan base. You could say that some art galleries are free, so looking at art is free. If you use that analogy with music the equivalent is sampling tracks on Spotify or iTunes, when really what you're doing is taking the painting from the gallery and not giving any money to the artist. Ok that's a bit extreme, but with art you still have to pay for a postcard of a painting in a gallery gift shop, they don't give it to you for nothing!
While the value of music continues to decline, there may come a time when the only people who can afford to be musicians are funded by mum & dad, or a boring day job which will take valuable time away from them nurturing their talent. At some point in the not too distant future the only physical music you can buy will be performed by generic talent show clones. Scary thought, terrifying in fact! Along with the fact that there may not even be any shops left to buy this disposable drivel from. I'd love to know how many people who've bought these records in the last ten years still listen to them now?
The great thing about music is that it's created by people from all backgrounds, wealth and privilege, but the more it's devalued the less that will be the case. We don't need another 7 Coldplays, one is enough, though some may say one is too many!
These days I find listening to the familiar is a comfort of sorts - I enjoy discovering new things but am also happy hearing music I know. Some of it is nostalgia, some of it is therapy and some of it is just plain awesome. I'm someone who now lives in a house where the living room walls are lined with Ikea benno towers full of CDs. The irony being that the music I listen to is ripped onto my computer and stored on my iPod.
Music is still music, and it means a lot to many people in this world. I could not imagine life without it. Unfortunately many people could and that terrifies me.
We need music. Keep music alive by going to gigs & festivals.
If you really like a band support them whichever way you can; buy merchandise, gig tickets, limited edition records. If you don't, they may not sustain their ability to make the music you love.
My next music post will be more light hearted, and there will no doubt be some fashion observation before the weekend is over.
