VARNISHED JEANS is about ME, RACHEL BETH, (SANS SERIOUS LAST NAME) living, breathing, writing, and enjoying fashion in the traditional sense. I'm just VANILLA, and I'm trying to be that on a tight, REAL PERSON'S BUDGET. That means I don't take TOO MANY RISKS, enjoy PREPPY style (for the most part), and try to live life SANS TRENDS. Although I don't discount them. There are some trends I adore, but this blog isn't your EVERY DAY TRENDY BLOG (A LA DECKED OUT IN TOP SHOP or FREE CLOTHING). At least I'd like to think so.
I'm also a FEMMY (MY OWN WORD FOR FEMINIST). If you have to know why I dislike the word feminist, please read THREE GUINEAS by VIRGINIA WOOLF. This will accurately describe why I've got my own word to describe it.
SO WHAT'S WITH ALL THESE RANDOM CAPITALIZED LETTERS?
Well, I use capitalization in the same way that some of my favorite 18th-19th century writers did, to emphasize. And also because my actual handwriting is in all caps, so I generally think IN ALL CAPS. Please, do not take it for anger or yelling. If appropriate and within the context, feel free to take it as passion.
WHAT DOES VARNISHED JEANS EVEN MEAN? YOU DON'T WEAR A LOT OF DENIM!
It's sad because I used to wear a lot of DENIM and I'm currently very very inspired by JEREMY SCOTT SPRING 2012. BUT the real meaning of VARNISHED JEANS is this: 13 year old me decided to dabble in the hotmail chat rooms and given the choice to create a username or pick a pre-generated one, I chose the pre-generated 'varnishedjeans'. It has been my internet alias ever since. So really it just means INTERNET ME. It also has this nice fashion preservation feel about it.
And of course, it's a little edgier than something like "Fashion notebook" or "Fashion cents" or "Chic meets Rachel". Those names seem trite.

SO I recently moved to BROOKLYN, NY (IN MAY) and I'm working as a VISUAL MERCHANDISER for a famous clothing corporation. I'm sure you could guess which one if you begin to notice a certain brand trend on my blog...
I TOOK A BRIEF (5 MONTH) SABBATICAL. Summer isn't really my thing guys, honestly. Haha! But really, moving is a bigger transition than I ever anticipated, especially to a city like NY where you can just be swallowed whole by it. I was swallowed. Here is me spit back out!
SO PLEASE, enjoy!
Let's hope I can make these crazy dreams of mine come true and you can enjoy the ride along with me.
