My So-Called Life

This week's inspiration is also a  fashion flashback. While growing up, my  fashion role model was Angela Chase from  „My So-Called Life“, and I identified with her so much that I even dyed my hair red when I was 13. The fact that my first teenage rebellion took place back in 2001, seven years AFTER  the show was made, indicates  that unlike any other corny teen drama this one is actually well written and timeless.

My So-Called Life is a american teen drama television series which revolves around 15 year old Angela Chase (Claire Danes) who is dealing with adolescence, growing up and finding out her identity. Angela alienates from her parents and best friend, dyes her hair red and starts hanging out with the rebelious and much troubled Rayanne. Angela is (initially) secretly in love with Jordan Catalano (Jared Leto) who is the coolest guy in school and a grunge response to James  Dean. Jordan is the source of many problems in Angela's life and eventually causes the end of Angela's friendship with Rayanne. Unfortunately, the producers decided to shoot only one season so we actually never find out what would have happened if Angela renewed her fridenship with Rayanne or ditched Jordan Catalano? This decision lead into mass petitions and pleas around the world made by bitter fans who were outraged by Claire Danes reluctancy to go on with the show and focusing on her movie career.

Angela's style is 90's grunge , sort of laid back and understated. It's mostly layers of different type of clothes but mainly plaid shirts, chunky military boots, cumfy or babydoll dresses. I got realy nostalgic, so I even dug up my old  leather backpack from elementary school to complete my grunge look.

                                                                          Did you know:

Alicia Silverstone were considered for the role of Angela.

Tino is a character reffered in almost every episode but is never seen.

Ovotjedna inspiracija je i svojevrsni modni flashback jer odrastajući najveći  „modni“ uzor mi je bila Angela iz serije“ I to mi je neki život“ pa sam čak po uzoru na nju sa 13 godina prvi put obojala  kosu u crveno i tati krala karirane košulje.  Činjenica da se moj prvi tinejdžerski bunt desio daleke 2001. , sedam  godina NAKON što je serija snimljena govori  da je serija bezvremenska  i za razliku od ostalih sapunjavih teen drama stvarno dobro napisana.

Serija „I to mi je neki život“ je američka drama ispričana kroz perspektivu 15ogodišnje Angele Chase (Claire Danes) koja prolazi kroz pubertet , muku odrastanja i  otkrivanja vlastitog identiteta. Angela se otuđuje od svojih roditelja i najbolje prijateljice, boji kosu u crveno i počinje se družiti sa živopisnom i problematičnom Rayanne.  Angela je (isprva) potajno zaljubljena u Jordana Catalana (Jered Leto) koji je  grungerska verzija Jamesa Deana i najzgodniji frajer u školi. Ovaj tihi buntovnik je uzrok mnogih problema u Angelinom životu i pa čak i raskidu prijateljstva sa Rayanne. No nažalost nikad nećemo saznati je li Angela obnovila prijateljstvo sa Rayanne  ili ostavila Jordana  jer je snimljena samo jedna sezona koja nas ostavlja sa ovim nedorečenim krajem.  Odluka producenata da ne snime drugu sezonu je potaknula ogorčena fanove diljem svijeta na masovne peticije i molbe za snimanje druge sezone koje se nije dogodilo jer se glavna glumica Claire Danes odlučila posvetiti  filmskoj karijeri.

Angelin stil je pravi grungerski look 90ih koji je slojevit i naizgled nenametljiv  i sastoji se od kariranih košulja, vojničkih čizama kombiniranih sa širokim ili babydoll haljinicama. Mene je obuzela prava nostalgija pa sam iskopala i kožni ruksak iz osnovnoškolskih dana  da upotpuni moj grunge  look.

                                                                          Jeste li znali :

Aliciu Silverstone su razmatrali za ulogu Angele.

Lik Tino o kojem svi pričaju u gotovo svakoj epizodi se zapravo nikad ne pojavljuje.
