My name is
Oyindamola Animashaun (or Oyin), I am seventeen years old, living in Ireland
and this is my first blog.
I have always
been very interested in owning a blog which documents my fashion escapades, as
I have a special interest in fashion, especially vintage fashion.
Also I have
never done something like this before, so I would like to see first-hand how
the process works.
I feel like I am a creative person who can express through Blogger what I love about fashion.
As for the
reason I love vintage style, if I am being honest, I am not completely sure but
all I know is I really admire the way outfits were put together back then. My
love for vintage is mainly constricted to styles in the twentieth century. The
flapper dresses of the 20s, the suits of the 30s and 40s, the rockabilly
outfits of the 50s, the A-line miniskirts of the 60s, the jumpsuits of the 70s,
the shoulder pads(!) of the 80s and the ‘ever fashionable’ grunge style of the
90s.
Though few
people share my love for vintage fashion, that’s perfectly okay. I love my
slight androgynous homeless ‘chic’ with vintage accents style as I describe it,
and I always will.
With this post I
include a collage of my inspiration to dress up which I have to do sometimes as
I perform. In this collage is 4 pictures of me in the corners, all of my recent
outfits which inspire me and as you go in, it’s of famous people and other
women I have come across over the years who I just love their effervescent
style.
While I hope to
concentrate on fashion through this blog, I hope to diversify my skills and
review bands, movies, books and even to interview people.
I would be
grateful if you would consider reading my blog and enjoying it while doing so.
Thank you very
much for taking the time to read this first post from me.
Yours sincerely,
Oyindamola Animashaun
