| Cressida and her SCRUNCHIE |
Ok, so I haven't written on here for ages and ages and ages, despite my last post! A few things have changed since then: for instance, I've suddenly had to decide what I want to do with the rest of my life, particularly regarding which university I want to go to and what I want to study. FYI, I think I'm going to do Politics or International Relations, and I'm hoping I'm not going to change my mind about this, because that would be bloody annoying. But less about my irritating adolescent angst and existential crises (yeah, I know I sound bloody pretentious (I really do like the word 'bloody' by the way, but not in a morbid, psycho way)), and onto the subject of... SCRUNCHIES!!!
I live in Leeds (West Yorkshire, 'The North', England, Great Britain, Europe, the world, the universe etc.) and go to a sixth form college (Notre Dame) near the Leeds University campus. As a result I see a lot of the Leeds Uni students when I'm walking home, and when I use their library (I have a reference-only library card for their massive library). It's a tad unfair really that I can use their library for free and they have to pay 9 grand a year for tuitions alone, but I shouldn't complain. I realise that I still haven't mentioned SCRUNCHIES yet, so I'll hurry the fuck up. (Sorry about that F- bomb, I'm feeling rebellious). First though, lemme just tell you (please) of two things I have noticed about the students of Leeds University:
1) There are A LOT of REALLY HOT male students (I'm sorry, but it's just very, very true).
2) There are A LOT of REALLY STYLISH AND FASHIONABLE female students.
If I wrote a post about the hot male students, that would be pervy and weird, and I don't want to objectify anyone, so I'll discuss that topic no more. Loads of the students here seem to be quite posh, and thus probably quite rich, so they've probably got a fair bit of cash to spend. I see a lot of those 'mom jeans' from Topshop, with casual yet chic shirts, black crop tops and lovely disheveled hair. And scrunchies. Everywhere I go: BAM! Scrunchies! It's a look I love, perhaps because I have a Topshop fetish- it's so hardcore it probably counts as a fetish- and I think that whole look is quite Topshop.
I have short hair- one could call it a bob- and so I could only wear a scrunchie if I resort to a weird, too- short sticky-out ponytail, and therefore sadly I cannot participate in the brilliance of the scrunchie revival, or what I like to call 'The Scrunchie Revolution.' Personally, I think it all started with Cressida Bonas, and for this, I applaud her. Don't get me wrong, allow me to highlight that this IS a revival, and that the scrunchie was born (relatively) long ago. I can't describe why I love scrunchies so much, why they're so great, but I really do admire Cressida's pioneering and brave attitude when it comes to reviving such a garment. -Ok, chillax Sophie, it's just a bloody scrunchie.- Thanks to her, and the fact that she's almost royal- and might finally just settle down with Prince Hazza soon (as noone calls him)- the scrunchie has returned to being tres tres chic. Well, in my opinion anyway. I mean, Cressida is a chica who can (kind of) pull off dungarees. The new look of the scrunchie as a result is quite sloaney, but not irritatingly, OTT sloaney. Y'know, like someone who went to public school, but wears jogging bottoms because they're comfortable, and not because of that whole 'Sports Luxe' shizz. So, to conclude: Scrunchies are cool. The end. I'm not good at ending these posts so, like, bye or something... Ciao... xxx
Oh, and by the way, I'm sure there are lots of stylish and fashionable male students out there too, and I thoroughly encourage them all to embrace the scrunchie and wear it with pride.
A few of my fave scrunchie looks from le passé: (well, only two actually)
