MELANIA TRUMP WEARS SLOGAN JACKET
When or how did Melania Trump become a billboard? When I saw the first lady Melania Trump wearing a slogan jacket reading “I don’t really care do u ?”, I can say I wasn’t too shocked. Since in life I have always said” you lie down with the dogs and you’ll wake up with the fleas “.
First and foremost darlings this is a fashion blog not a political site. However sometimes these two fields can’t help but cross paths. Here on this blog I have written several times on politics and am proud to put across my points of view. While I don’t claim to be a political pundit I have certain political views and educate myself accordingly.
Here are a list of my political posts in case you want to check them out;
Therefore my friends I will occasionally cover political issues , but always through fashions eye.
MELANIA TRUMP WHO IS SHE ?
OR
“I don’t really care do u ?”
Whenever I see the face of Melania Trump I find myself asking who is she. Certainly this first lady is a mystery. In fact she is a public figure who rarely speaks. Therefore one of the few clues to who she is her wardrobe. However even that comes up short . In fact I am not the first to mention that Melania Trump wears some great clothes . When we she her we see a parade of some of the most talented designers outfits. But that is just what they are designer clothes without a sense of style .
In fact the first lady has no style . To put it another way, she’s a mediocre model, wearing clothes but giving us little else. Since a great model is more about attitude and personality , in her case the previous seems mundane and the latter nonexistent . However we have nothing else to go on. Therefore people are forced to try to figure her out from her wardrobe.
Hence the mystery was there again this week. When she wore a Zara jacket printed with the words “I don’t really care, do u?”. She donned this jacket while en route to visit migrant children at the US-Mexico border. In the middle of a crisis over the Trump administration’s family separation policy. In my opinion it seems impossible that not a single person on her team — no stylist, PR person, or aide — had questioned the harsh implications of that message. Therefore my darlings we have to assume it was intended .
MELANIA TRUMP SENDS A MESSAGE
SEND ONE BACK
But as with many things Melania-related, it was hard to say for sure what she meant by wearing it. Since she rarely says more than empty platitudes it is hard to interrupt what she meant . However we know that by lying down with the dogs she is as guilty as the rest of the Trump administration. Whatever message was being sent, it’s bound to be awful.
Furthermore this administration seems to be working against every value that American’s and democratic people around the world share . Therefore for those who are Americans you can vote , you can protest and make sure your voices are heard (by calling your member of the senate and congress) .
Melania is not the only one who can send sartorial messages. Therefore you can choose to add some messages to your wardrobe as a form of resistance, Protest clothes have been around since the sixties and sometimes they are just what we need .
However I still believe counter punching with positivism is our best option. Therefore darling’s I’ve found positive messages you can wear to inspire yourself and others.
POSITIVE MESSAGES FOR MELANIA TRUMP
FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
In conclusion as we enter the first weekend of Summer we will be out and about. Since many of you will attend 4th of July events soon take a message with you . Shop these great tee-shirts here or buy some in your community but get out there. I’m a Canadian from that gentler kinder country from the north , but the impact that Trump has is spreading around the globe. Therefore stand-up , stand-out and send a message .
