What's Your NON-FASHION Signature?

by Getteline Rene

It was hard narrowing it down to one, but I must say that my non-fashion signature is definitely something that I often say that gets me into trouble. It is my signature phrase, "Sorry, there are no reruns in life."

Let's say that you’re walking down the street with 2 friends. You and Friend 1 witness a woman in Jeffrey Campbell Lita's trip, fall, and bust her butt on the cobblestones of Soho. You and Friend 1 proceed to "LMAO" as Friend 2, completely oblivious to what just happened, asks for a recap. You, trying hard to control your laughter, reply, "Naw, there are no reruns in life." You and Friend 1 proceed to laugh in Friend 2's face and crack inside jokes on what occurred during the entire outing.

And that my friends, is my non-fashion signature.

What? You didn't get the example? Want me to repeat it? Haha, sorry -- there are no reruns in life.

Signature Style -- Getteline Rene

They say fashion is feeling and when it comes to my wardrobe, I must have items that cater to the 8 million and one moods I go through from Monday to Sunday. But if I really had to choose one garment, accessory, cosmetic, and pair of shoes, it would be as follows:

Garment: Megadeth 1995 World Tour Tee and The Furies T-shirt dress to wear underneath it

Accessory: Braided tribal necklace that I pretty much wear every day

Cosmetic: Eyeliner in every form -- I’m talkin’ gel, pencil, liquid, eye kohl, the whole shebang

Shoes: Groove Combat boots with heart details on the back

As I re-read my list, I realize all I need is extra pink lipstick and a flannel to possibly be the bass guitarist for a Hole cover band. What does that say about me? It says I absolutely reek of teen spirit and 90's angst, but in the most fashionable way possible. I think I’m ok with that.
