When Fashion Consumes the Meaning of Band Tees

when fashion consumes the meaning of band tees

Will I ever tire of Iron Maiden band tees? Likely not. In fact, if anything, I’m working to expand my ever growing collection. Because I only buy band tees at concerts I need these guys to do a couple more tours so that I can add a few more  designs to my arsenal of Iron Maiden band tees.

Now, I can’t help but notice a lot of people wearing Iron Maiden shirts lately. Whenever I see that I’m always curious if the people wearing them are actually fans of Iron Maiden or not? If you can’t recite a lyric of said album that is being represented on your shirt, then why wear it? Continue reading “When Fashion Consumes the Meaning of Band Tees”

No word of a lie, I used to rock fishnets under bottoms with stilettos back in the day when it was such a foreign concept that I’d get sarcastic remarks like ‘are you wearing those underneath your pants for warmth?’  While I clearly wasn’t wearing hosiery with holes under my jeans for warmth, I enjoyed the subtle hint of fishnet that peeked through from below the hem of the pant with a nice stiletto. Although I must admit this trend does look a lot more edgier when worn with ripped jeans.

Furthermore, ripped jeans with fishnets is truly a look that no rocker babe can pass up. As such worn here with one of my favourite Iron Maiden band tees, a biker jacket, and leopard stilettos. As well, ripped jeans with fishnets can also be styled with sneakers to create a cute edgy look. However, personally I prefer to style ripped jeans with fishnets with an ultra feminine stiletto pump. It creates a rocker chic look that I cannot seem to pass up. 

How do you feel about this trend? Are you wearing ripped jeans with fishnets? Would love to hear what you think.

Wearing hands down one of my favourite band tees from Metallica’s Beyond Magnetic tour. Absolutely love contrasting an edgy band tee with a feminine pleated midi skirt. Although peach has never been a dominant colour in my wardrobe. However with its popularity this season, it was hard to resist adding another item in this pretty hue. Due to the simplicty of both pieces I decided to incorporate some statement accessories, like these Dolce Vita Tessah Black Leather Lace-Up Heels. And of course some bold lapis jewelry from Samantha Wills.

Wishing you a great week ahead! xo
