The Essence of Fashion: “Everyone’s Choice”

Fashion is the epitome of our daily lives? Every person in the universe eats, and sleeps fashion whether they choose to or not. Every day that you put an article of clothing on your back, you are introducing your style to the world; bringing forth a personification of you through clothing. Fashion may not be your life, but you become a part of it as you choose to wear and purchase clothing.

As first impressions are important, clothing answers a lot of questions. Your personal appearance may exude confidence and pride in oneself or it can exude uncertainty and self-depreciation. We choose our clothing based on how we feel about ourselves, and on how we would like to be portrayed. If we are going to the office we want to dress professional, if we are going to a ball we want to dress classy. Fashion is all about feeling. It is about expressing yourself through clothing.

You are what you wear. How often do we let our clothing define our mood; every chance we get? If we wake up in the morning feeling down, either we’ll put on clothing that will help us hide, or we’ll put on clothing to make us feel better. On the other hand if we wake up happy, our outfit usually reflects this. Be it a sundress, on a nice hot day, or a beautiful coat on a chilly afternoon that is as simple or intricate as we define ourselves to be, that elegant beauty or that dazzling diva.

Today, I choose to be that dazzling diva, wearing a beautiful lace blouse, slacks, and high heel boots that are to die for.

My fashion is ME! Who are you today?
