At the end of last semester I published a list of fashion resolutions for the new year/spring semester. So as I sign off my fashion-biatch-post I make an effort to recreate the magic and success of that piece.
I've decided to do what I believe to be one better: A top ten list of things I have learned writing my weekly tidbits on fashion and just some general thoughts I am sure you can relate to.
-
Big hair is sexy again. Yay!
-
Never paying any attention to your appearance does not make you seem unaffected and real. It makes you look not only sloppy and classless, but like you just don't care about yourself.
-
Caring too much and wearing every single trend without any insertion of self and own style is very lame.
-
The fake bag thing is so over. Even if it's only -- sarcasm -- Liz Claiborne, the real deal is better.
-
On that note, brown and white LV bags -- real or fake -- need to go on a long vacation, far away from Penn State.
-
We're in the age when trends rotate like rotisserie chickens -- sorry, I've run out of metaphors -- so don't throw anything away! You can always pull some old thing out a few years or seasons later and add a little something here and there and BAM! it's poppin' like major hotness again.
-
Fiiiive Golden Rings. Gold is ridiculous right now. I love it and I so predicted it. Glittery, sequined and shiny things in general are also slam-jammin'.
-
The clothes don't make the woman or man. The accessories do.
-
Life might be like a box of chocolates, but sweets are just empty calories without a closet stuffed with full shoeboxes to share them with.
And last, but most importantly: Fashion is style. Style is fashion. It's inventive, it's glamorous, it's unique, it's low key, it's brilliant, it's glorious. It isn't something you can learn or make up overnight. It isn't something you should create for someone else. Fashion is personal, it's key, and its power is never to be underestimated. Fashion is abso-mofo’in-lutely fabulous. And don’t you forget it.
