Who Dictates Your Fashion Sense?

It's no secret that for the most part our fashion sense comes from outside sources. The fashion industry itself, television, movie stars, singers, sports figures, even family; the list is endless. Yet what is fashion? I like to think of it as comfort wear but sadly that's not always the case. If you've ever worn 5" stilettos you know what I'm talking about. In a perfect world there is nothing more comfortable than an old pair of sneakers and sweats, mine at this time have no fewer than 12 holes (I can't bring myself to throw them away). Unfortunately walking into a bank dressed this way puts everyone on guard, I think I even saw one of the tellers push the button! So instead of being comfortable we opt for clothes that are too tight, too short, too long, just wrong!

As a society we are programmed as to what we consider is beautiful, this goes for clothes as well as the individual (that's a whole different topic). With this thought in mind, is the average woman set up to fail? Let's look at it this way; as far as I can see there is nothing more beautiful than a 6"2 rail thin model walking down a stretch of carpet in clothes that you or I would never be caught dead in. OK, strike one; I just failed. While the woman are beautiful, the designs extraordinary, these are not your average woman. I've yet to see a woman in aisle six of my grocery store wearing a glittering gold gown with wings. If I had I would immediately call my neurologist to schedule an MRI!

Women's fashions consist of colors, fabrics, attitude, and swag. Yes, I said it! Fabulous designers around the world tantalize our senses every season with vibrant and inspiring designs, it is through these creations that our imagination is set free to be whomever we wish to be. Free to explore our own inner self and allow that inner self to shine through. So, although we are influenced by the world around us fashion comes from within. Only you can say what fits you best, in your fashion and in your life. Marvel in what the world has to offer in the form of style but choose for yourself and not what society dictates. As an individual fashion is the real you, how you feel, what is right for you. I guess you could call it "YOU FASHION".
