„You look
like some nasty rich girl in these photos“ said my housemate. Well
thank you, that was the point. I guess Gottfried Keller was right in
his book „Kleider machen Leute“ which means something like
„Clothes create people.“ It´s about this poor guy who dresses up
in some super posh clothes. If before nobody gave a damn, he is now
happily welcomed in every hotel, restaurant and store. And because he
looks so rich, he gets stuff for free or on credit. Makes perfect
sense right? Did you ever realize that if you go to an upmarket store
wearing casual clothes they watch you suspiciously or even better
ignore you? At the same time I made the experience that if I´m
sporting my Louis Vuitton Never Full and a nice faux fur coat I
immediately get four salespersons trying to serve me. This is
something I will probably never fully understand. Look at the Gallery
Lafayette in Paris for example: Whenever I go there I see masses of
people in snap backs and trackie bottoms carrying about 5 big
shopping bags from Marc Jacobs to Chanel. What a revelation! Rich
people also wear casual clothes. On one hand I´m really annoyed by
this but then on the other hand I love having the possibility to
change peoples first impressions of me with something as simple as
clothes. And this day I imagined myself to be the rich but rebellious
Hollywood brat from some teenage movie. Apparently it worked out.
WHAT AM I WEARING?
sunglases - Tally Weijl
bikini - Tally Weijl
dungarees - Tally Weijl
handbag - skinny dip
shoes - my mom´s
necklace - my friend´s
„Du siehst aus wie so
ein grässliches reiches Mädchen,“ sagt mein Mitbewohner. Naja,
danke, das war der Plan. Da hatte Gottfried Keller wohl recht mit
seinem Buch „Kleider machen Leute.“ Wer das in der Schule
verpasst hat, im Grunde geht es um einen armen Schlucker der sich ein
paar schicke Klamotten anzieht. Vorher interessiert sich keiner für
ihn, aber nun stehen ihm alle Türen offen. Er ist gerne gesehen in
jedem Hotel, Restaurant und Laden. Weil er ja schließlich auch reich
aussieht gibt es das meiste kostenlos und auf Kredit. Macht Sinn,
oder? Ist euch jemals aufgefallen, dass ihr in Straßenkleidern beim
Schoppen in einem besseren Geschäft (fängt bei Douglas und Zara
schon an) misstrauisch beäugt werdet? Gleichzeitig habe ich bemerkt,
dass wenn ich meine Neverfull von Louis Vuitton und einen schönen
faux fur Mantel trage gleich vier Verkäuferinnen um mich herum
schwirren um mir irgend ein überteuertes Parfum anzudrehen. Das habe
ich eigentlich noch nie verstanden. Immer wenn ich in die Galerie
Lafayette in Paris gehe, treffe ich auf jede Menge Leute in
Jogginghosen und Snapbacks die fünf Einkaufstaschen mit sich
rumschleppen von Marc Jacobs bis Chanel. Was eine Offenbarung! Reiche
Leute tragen also auch lässige Klamotten. Auf der einen Seite nervt
mich das ganz schön aber dann finde ich es auch genial die
Möglichkeit zu haben den ersten Eindruck anderer Leute nur mit Hilfe
meiner Kleider zu steuern. Und an diesem Tag hab ich mir eben
vorgestellt ich bin eine reiche aber rebellische Hollywood Göre aus
irgendeinem Teenage Film. Hat wohl geklappt.
Haha love your housemates comment! :) no really, very cool and very Hollywood. Only slightly jealous it's hot enough where you are to wear a bikini & shorts!!

I´m back in MCR now :(( Went on a Holiday to Germany for a few days
DeleteAmazing outfit, perfect for hot summer days :) I'm in love with these dungarees <3
ReplyDeleteLove this post, Susan!! It's a sad, sad truth that people do judge a book by its cover... I'm guilty of that now and again but most of the time I try not to.
ReplyDeleteBack to the outfit, the spoilt brat look really suits you... haha! And I love how you can see your tattoo just below the bralette! It adds a really nice finishing touch to the look.

Omg, nasty girl for SURE, but you are such a babe, Susan! I love love love the look! I think it's the whole sunglasses, neon lip and sassy sling bag that makes the whole thing so damn posh yet urban.
ReplyDeleteIt confuses me, too, the fact that people are treated differently depending on what they wear, but gah, we'll never fully understand it. Just take it as it comes, I like to say!

Loving "the rich bitch" look!! So cute :) <3
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much your looks can affect people... even just your pretty face ;)
I have this friend who wants people to treat her like she was a snob. She gets upset if she doesn't get service in high end makeup boutiques and that's why she's using all her (little) money to have designer bags and stuff... Just like in the book you mentioned. Sad.
lol thatsso weird. I mean I do buy designer stuff that is often more expensive than what I should spent but I´m just a genuine fashion lover haha.
DeleteSuuuuper cool!! Die Brille ist genial :)
