Why did my taste develop into what it is?
I think as I have grown up my taste has been fuelled by an underlying desire to get all the things I never could in the past. Being the middle child sandwiched between two boys it's impossible to get the chance to be girly when you're wearing your brothers hand-me-downs and your little brother gets yours.
When I entered my teenage years and went to secondary school being unable to be girly in an all girls school made me an outcast and put me with the 'alternative kids' which was where I got introduced to the emo look. This lead to the 'scene' movement where you were able to relive your childhood, wearing clothes that featured kids cartoons, wearing the little kids backpacks, big plastic jewellery and heart shaped sunglasses. I got inspired by bloggers like Racquel Reed and Audrey Kitching.
Leaving home enabled me to grow up a bit but I got more girly after escaping the male environment and also got more freedom to have coloured hair, piercings and tattoos.
