fashion

i consider myself a late bloomer when it comes to fashion. i'm growing up donning typical jeans and shirts and not so trendy and experimental. i have an odd taste of mix and match though i am artistic in other ways. i am likely to be one of those playing safe when it comes to clothes. let's just say i am uncomfortable catching attention because of the clothes i'm wearing. i'd rather be unnoticed than become the talk of the town.

but things have changed. i started digging fashion magazines and keep myself up to date with the latest trends. i am a budding fashionista and learning the in and outs of it, even the fashion lingo.LOL.

fashion is not limited to the upper class status quo, and can be easily adapted by those who can't afford. while some well-offs have a different sense of fashion because they can practically afford uber vogue designer clothes, shoes and all, us not-so-blessed-with-wealth have a different sense of fashion too- the ukay-ukay and tiangge fashion. hehe.

fashion has pushed my self esteem. when i dress good, i feel as beautiful as the other pretty girls in the world. there are people who thinks i'm ugly and all but when i look in the mirror and like what i'm seeing, i exude that aura of amour propre that for a moment i feel like "wow, i'm hot!" i don't care what other people might think of me. after all i'm not doing this for their approval or attention- i'm doing this for me, to give me a confidence boost. and it's effective actually. hehe. :)

fashion is not really following the trend. it's how you carry yourself and what you wear with confidence. it's bringing your creativity into work by mixing styles that go together and letting your ingenuity shine. fashion need not be expensive. it can be stylish yet practical.
