Alright, so let me tell you about this little thing I did the other day. It all started when I was doing a bit of a clear-out, you know, going through old boxes and stuff that’s been gathering dust. And what do I find? A whole stash of memories from around 2014. Tucked away in there were some printouts of fashion show looks I’d saved, maybe a couple of old magazines too. Seeing those really threw me back.
Thinking About 2014 Fashion
I got to thinking about what fashion shows were like back in 2014. It feels like a different world, doesn’t it? I tried to remember the big trends, the kind of clothes they were parading down the runways. It’s funny how your memory plays tricks, but certain images stick. I remember things feeling a bit more… structured? Maybe that’s the word. Anyway, this got me curious about my own wardrobe from that time.
So, I actually started digging through the back of my closet. You know, the real archeology section. I was on a mission to see what pieces I still had from that specific year, or things that really screamed “2014” to me. It was quite the excavation project, let me tell you. Found a few forgotten gems, and a few things I was like, “Wow, I really wore that?”
My Own Little “Fashion Show” Moment
Then, an idea sparked. I thought, why not try to recreate a sort of “2014 fashion show vibe” right here at home? Nothing fancy, just for myself, to see how it felt. So, I pulled out the items I’d unearthed. There was this one particular jacket I remembered loving, and some accessories that were definitely of that era. I laid them all out, trying to remember how they were styled back then.
I spent a bit of time actually putting together a couple of “looks.” I even tried to mimic the kind of poses I’d seen in those old show pictures. My family definitely gave me some funny looks, but hey, it was all part of the experiment. It was surprisingly fun, actually, playing dress-up like that after so long. I wasn’t aiming for perfection, just trying to capture a feeling, you know?
The “VS” Part – Then vs. Now
And that’s when the “versus” part really hit me. Holding up those 2014 styles and thinking about what I see in fashion shows today, or even just what people are wearing on the street now. It’s different. Not necessarily better or worse, just… evolved. The way shows are presented now, so much of it is online, instant. Back then, it felt a bit more exclusive, maybe?
I started comparing the silhouettes. The fits. Even the overall attitude. Some things from 2014 felt surprisingly current, or like they could be with a little modern twist. Other things? Well, let’s just say they’re firmly in the past, and that’s okay! It was interesting to see what stood the test of time, even in my own small collection.
What I Took Away From It All
So, what did I get from this little trip down fashion memory lane? Well, for one, it was a good laugh. It also made me appreciate how style changes, not just in the big fashion world, but for us regular folks too. We pick things up, we try trends, we figure out what works for us, and then things move on.
It wasn’t about judging 2014 fashion or anything like that. It was more about observing. And honestly, it reminded me that fashion should be fun. Trying to recreate those looks made me realize that it’s all a bit of a performance, isn’t it? Whether it’s a high-end runway or just me messing about in my living room. It was a good way to spend an afternoon, just playing around and seeing things from a slightly different perspective. I found a few old pieces I might actually try to wear again, mixing them in with my current stuff. Why not, right?
