steve aoki

So what do you wear to a Steve Aoki concert? I'm getting more into electro music but by no means do I have a clue how to act or dress like I live it. You may know Mr. Aoki from his infamous mix-up of Kid Cudi's Pursuit of Happiness or my personal favorite, Warp 1.9 with The Bloody Beetroots. He is a jet setting DJ, record producer and founder of Dim Mak Records. While I envy him and wish I had fallen into a path of disc jockeying, I am a little scared to be in a room full of electro house loving hipsters.

I was brought in further to this electro scene by my two girlfriends who are music experts. Our conversation usually goes like this...

     Maloka: Steve Aoki is coming to The MID on Jan 14th, you guys want to go?

     Beth: I love Steve Aoki. Let me see if I have to work late that day...

     Me: I'm down. I'll google him.

I realized quickly, I knew this guy. He definitely appears in a few of my playlists. 

Besides exploring new music, the three of us have one common factor that many girlfriends may find amongst each other. We love dressing up and going out together. Even if there isn't an special event or if it's a random Thursday night, the ritual of rummaging through your closet and laying out outfit after outfit while sipping vodka waters is my favorite part of the night. We shop each other's closets and sometimes even the boyfriend's. We take turns seeing how stylish an outfit can get without looking too trendy and then mark our approval on our favorite outfits as if we were fashion editors at vogue.

Inevitably the excitement of a concert such as this one creates a week long buzz on what to wear. It is perhaps an unfortunate circumstance that the opportunity to dress outside your persona does not surface very often. I plan to take advantage of this night and participate in the unknown fashion world of grunge and electro-funk. The world of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love mixed in with a whole lot of Katy Perry.

I still don't know what I'm wearing. I should probably publish this blog and begin my quest. American Apparel and Urban Outfitters sound like a great place to start...
