We’re all guilty of throwing a little white lie in there
occasionally, but when it comes to fashion I think there are three big whoppers
we’ve all used a little too often…
Of course you can, you were swinging that [insert brand name]
bag all the way home. It’s your most prized recent purchase. The fact is you
just don’t want anyone to know where you bought it because if you tell them
they’re likely to turn up to Saturday’s party wearing the same thing. After all,
in the fashion world no one likes a copy cat. It’s all about individual style
darling.
“I didn’t have time
to change…”
Lie. Of course you did. Don’t believe anyone who says they
didn’t try. They are like those people from school who said “I haven’t studied”.
Of course they did, everyone studies. But to avoid seeming like we’ve tried too
hard we like to labour under the pretence that we are ‘oh so very busy’ and
important dashing about town whilst still looking fabulous. “Coming straight
from the office” means they snuck into the bathroom five minutes before work
ended to reapply make-up and spritz more perfume. Gotcha.
“Thanks, it’s vintage…”
Vintage. Code for any random item you own that isn’t a high
street or designer brand; it could be from your mum’s closet, a cheapo market, a
sample sale or eBay. In other words it’s a shameful fashion secret that you
dress up with a fancy, socially-acceptable name. You know, because everyone
LOVES vintage fashion ATM.
Games up ladies. I know your secrets…
