Keep it on the ground, keep it on the ground

When the distinct chill and crispness of a faraway but nonetheless upcoming winter hits the air it's not long before I begin to slowly but surely revert back to all of the dark hued, slim-fit items in my wardrobe one at a time and, on some days such as yesterday, all at once.
I'm aware that it's considered poor taste by a good percentage of the fashion-y crowd to be into wearing shaded monochrome all the time (with the exception of Kate Lamphear, who I'm pretty certain may just be my much cooler doppelganger), but I really can't help it: Bob Dylan was an early and extraordinarily significant influence on me, and everything from music to fashion to literature kind of stems from that place in me which still loves the man. Basically, since a very young age I've wanted to achieve both an aesthetic and an intelligence that would impress Monsieur Dylan were I ever to come in to being in his presence and, while that happening is unlikely for sure, I like taking the safe side on most matters - 'tis better to be early than late, safe than sorry, and so on and so forth....
Okay, enough philosophizing about my outfit. Well, maybe a bit more philosophizing....at the core of the matter I just like wearing all-black a lot in the fall and winter seasons and think it to be the opposite of depressing (particularly in consideration of the fact that my hair stands out like a beacon). Wearing what I wore yesterday made me feel comfortable and, more importantly, like myself, which to me is the whole point of style and furthermore how I differentiate it at the end of the day from fashion, which is trend, market and consumer driven. Which there is nothing wrong with, as I love supply and demand as much as the next Parisian Vogue reader! But in all honesty there are also some days of the week that I couldn't give a damn about what's in style and what's not, and yesterday was one of those days...
Another recent self-discovery: hanging out on deserted rooftops in the city can be REALLY fun.
