you do not have to be skinny to view this blog, the title is for coolness only

i am a seventeen year old girl living in melbourne. i go to a rare school that allows me to do three fashion subjects which is mad cool. i do my best to make the most of every moment and try to push myself outside of my comfort zone, gosh i hate that word. screw smoking and sleeping around, i don't want the clap or tuberculosis. i am happy with my health, my friends, my fam, cat and tidy light blue bedroom with roses and leather on the walls. i admire russell brand's charisma, justin bieber's voice, t-pain in general and my cat bok choy for being so flexible that he can lick his own privates. oh and my name's karista

Introduction

I'm going to begin with a cliche, and it is an honest one; I personally dress simply to express, rather than to impress. My mood or state of mind will always reflect upon what I wear. Only this year have I really explored my very own personal style. I've never just worn something because everyone else did, only if I liked it would I wear it. I dislike conforming to the trends plainly for the sake of fitting in. I think my style or look will be constantly changing, for example one day in the future I may be completely repulsed by skinny leg jeans, just like I once upon a time absolutely loathed shoulder pads, now i adore them! I have got to remember to keep an open mind when it comes not only to fashion but everything in life. I shouldn't stake my judgement on just one opinion but I must remember to build it upon the many that I hear and make up my own mind about it.  

Just want to explain, naming this; I wanted to name my blog a name that had something to do with me and one of my physical characteristics. I have always been very skinny (always hated it but anyway) First I came up with Skin & Bones but then when I said it out loud I accidently said Thin & Bones, I thought that sounded better so I decided on that, and my mum liked it so that just confirmed haha. Anyway so a few things about myself, I was born and raised in Melbourne. I have lived in the one house for about 14 years and I am currently 16 years old. I have never really known my father, lived with my 2 brothers and mum for my whole life and I love my family, extremely blessed to have them. I have always had an interest in fashion, when I was in grade 2, my dream was to become a supermodel when I grew up. Seems I always had a plan and a dream for my life until now when it has come to the time where we have to decide on our subjects which will be the first stepping stone onto our career path. And I am not quite sure what I am going to be or do, one thing I am sure about is that I want to travel everywhere. I want to live overseas in New York and study at an amazing fashion university like Fashion Institute of Technology or Pratt Institute. Not sure what area of fashion I want to study but I'm sure I'll figure it out over the next year or two as I have 2 fashion subjects next year.

I really should go but I will be back and continue blogging another day soon. This is just the beginning. I'm very new to this so to those who may have come across my blog out there, if you find this boring then please stay tuned because I am on a journey so it will get more interesting in time. I am just starting, introducing myself and helping you to understand me better before I start posting things like my favourite current looks and items for the season etc. I must also say that this blog is so I can put my thoughts and views out there for when someone reads this they can relate and have a view into an extremely hormonal yet dreaming, learning and creative teenage girl from Melbourne's mind and life. I hope you found this interesting and I am very excited to begin this journey. X
