Translating Songs Into Outfits (RED - Taylor Swift)

So, I got this idea awhile ago and it's taken about a month to complete. For me personally, when I listen to certain songs, I like to imagine music videos or the lyrics to the song being acted out in my head. I thought that could easily apply to the relationship between songs and outfits. Both songs and clothing create and give off different moods, so I thought "Why not pair clothes that fit with some of my favorite songs?". As I've previously mentioned, Taylor Swift is one of my favorite people. Ever. I actually just saw her in concert a couple weeks ago, and she (and Ed Sheeran) was brilliant. Her most recent album, Red, is incredible. That girl knows how to write and how to write well. The outfits you see will be a translation of the song into a visual representation. According to me, of course. You may have an entirely different outfit idea in your head for a certain song. Anywho, I hope you like this! I had a lot of fun doing it.
(And please excuse the background. I didn't really have another spot to set up my camera, and my dad's gardening stuff happens to be there...pretend it's not.)

State of Grace
"You were never a saint, and I've loved in shades of wrong. We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts. But this love is brave and wild."



Red
"Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes. Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go. But moving on from him is impossible when I still see it all in my head, burning red." 



Treacherous 
"Two headlights shine through the sleepless night and I will get you, I'll get you alone. Your name has echoed through my mind and I just think you should, think you should know that nothing safe is worth the drive and I will follow you, follow you home."



I Knew You Were Trouble.
"Heard you moved on, from whispers on the street. A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be."




All Too Well
"You call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest. I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here, cause I remember it all, all, all too well."



22
"We're happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time. It's miserable and magical, oh yeahhh."


I do have feet, I promise.

I Almost Do
"I bet you're sitting in your chair by the window, looking out at the city. And I hope sometimes you wonder 'bout me."



We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together
"You would hide away and find your peace of mind with some indie record that's much cooler than mine."




Stay Stay Stay
"You took the time to memorize me: my fears, my hopes, and dreams. I just like hanging out with you all the time. All those times that you didn't leave, it's been occurring to me. I'd like to hang out with you for my whole life."




The Last Time
"You wear your best apology, but I was there to watch you leave."




Holy Ground
"Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress, we had this big, wide city all to ourselves. We blocked the noise with the sound of 'I need you', and for the first time I had something to lose."



Sad Beautiful Tragic
"Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait."



The Lucky One
"They tell you that you're lucky, but you're so confused. Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used."

(I didn't like the original outfit that much, so I thought this would do.)

Everything Has Changed
"All I know is we said hello, and your eyes look like coming home. All I know is a simple name, and everything has changed."



Starlight 
"He said 'Look at you, worrying so much about things you can't change. You'll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way'."



Begin Again
"You throw your head back laughing like a little kid. I think it's strange that you think I'm funny, cause he never did. I've been spending the last eight months, thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end. But on a Wednesday, in a café, I watched it begin again."




If you have any questions about where something is from or anything like that, don't be afraid to ask!
I can't believe it's already August and summer is in its final stages.
I'll be starting college in a couple weeks, so I'm not sure what's really in store for this blog.
I will try to keep updating it!
Thank you for reading all this, if you have.
Have a wonderful day!
:)
