Dress yourself with what YOU like

Are you sure it is okay to wear what you have on?? Has it been
approved by someone else??????

You know whats great about fashion? In fashion there are no rules. No
police out there to arrest you for wearing something you like but
other people don't like. (although I wish there were fashion police,
but that is another blog) You can do what you like, whenever you like,
however you like. So my question is why is it that people need
approval??? Remember being a kid? I don't remember too much so that is
why I like looking at kids; but only kids with parents that allow
their kids to be kids. It's so awesome to see kids dress themselves in
a blue sock & jelly on the left foot and no sock & velcro dinosaur
shoe on their right foot. It's awesome because they like it and fuck
what everyone else thinks. For some reason people enter that "I need
approval stage" AKA see someone else wear it before they will.

Let me go even deeper. They will not wear something they like, but
instead wear something they don't like just because a celeb is rocking
it. For instance, Julie was fucking around one night and threw on a
pair of her sisters old school jeans that she had cut into shorts
while she was out doing lawn work. Now Julie actually like the look of
the frayed denim shorts when she added a dope pair of kicks, but she
is going to end up wearing the skinny's that she isn't that fond of
because some "A list" celeb was seen in them. She likes her look in
outfit "A" better than outfit "B", but since she has never seen anyone
rock anything like outfit "A", she will pass. Why??? If you like it
and the way it looks on you, then wear it.

If you open a magazine and see Miss Hilton wearing a turtle shell on
her head, there have been loads of people that have already put a
turtle shell on their head, liked it, but wouldn't wear it out. Once
Miss Hilton has been seen in it, that same person will rock it. Now i
know everyone can't set nor predict trends, but it's not about that.
It's about you liking what you have on, even if no one else does. And
to add to that.... out of those that don't like it or make comments
about it, they are just pissed off cuz they don't have the
courage/confidence in themselves to wear what they like. They are the
ones that need the approval.

So to sum it up, in fashion you have the good, bad and ugly. The great
thing is you can do whatever you want, but just be real with yourself
and wear what you want and not what you think other people want you to
wear.
