Contained Culture







the absolute best jumper you've ever seen in your entire life c.o madame allsorts

let me address your first question: no filters.

You'd be astounded at how moving curtains can change lighting. 

let me address the second: you can buy this incredibly clever jumper here.

if you haven't figured out why it's clever, read it again.

now, moving on.

I have absolutely no idea what is going on in these photos. 

It just happened, ok?

This sweater, and two very different conversations about the same thing inspired me.

Let's get deep like a swimming pool.

Our culture is immense. There's so many little things that have shaped it. And yet, there are always pieces that are contained. We keep ourselves in little boxes, apparently on purpose. I'm talking mental and physical boxes. When was the last time you just went outside and explored a new place? Find a path and beat it. We insist that certain things have to be the way they are because that's the way they are. We block ourselves off from things we may love for fear of expanding "too far". Can that even happen? We've allowed old things to stay in their place, never even contemplating change. It's insane. It's past time to shake things up. Make noise. Paint things bright colors. Go talk to the weird kid. Ask questions. Take strange photos.

Ok, I better stop myself now before this turns into a middle school pep rally.

My point is
do what you need to do to be who you are.

Yes, I got all that from a sweater.


That's just how I roll.

Justina

ps. Madame Allsorts, the babe who designed the several times aforementioned sweater? She's in my Really Cool People You Wish You Were Best Friends With Club. Besides designing stuff you want to live in and making super hoardable jewelry she makes music you actually enjoy having permanently etched on your brain. Go listen to it. You can send me a thank you cupcake later.

  2. Great post! Love the jumper. You're so right, people do things the way culture dictates and never try to find a new way to do things. xx

    by the way, I loved the post, you're right, we need to think outside of the box and do different things! and we shouldn't care about what others think! ^^

Tell me what I want to hear. Or what you want to say.

Just remember:

If you're mean, I'll track you down and replace all your shoes with those hideous white tennis things that are so popular among the very sad.
