Why is it that some women are suckers for fashion?
It may sound a bit strong but that’s literally what I’ve been thinking this week! My work place exists in the shopper’s paradise known as Oxford Circus. The popular shopping area graces a lot of regular people who have become fashionista in their own right. I see people everyday stunting the streets like they are Kate, Naomi and Tyra all rolled in one and that’s not the problem as I do the same thing.
Here is where the mind boggles… there is always someone who takes things too far, and that’s where some strange ensembles arise.
Don’t get me wrong! I’m not the new Gok Wan - I’ve been known to get carried away with my love for fashion as much as the next person, but I’m talking about women going around wearing what hurts, what’s too tight, what’s trashy instead of sexy, what hangs awkwardly instead of fitting beautifully!Let’s calm down and get a grip! Do sexy and funky but please make sense.
For example, I’ve become very concerned with shoes! Everyone knows I love a pair of shoes but if it’s not my size it’s a wrap for me. Some women seem oblivious to the fact that continuously wearing a certain kind of shoe could open themselves up to bunions? On the train today I was shocked! This poor woman’s feet were begging for release in her slender stilettos – why would you do it to yourself?
My point is knock yourself out with all the fashion trends going etc but be true to your shape, size, frame and personal style…To wear a shirt where buttons are looking like they are about to explode is insane, and to wear a pair of jeans where ‘love handles’ look like raw buns is a sin, so why do it – it doesn’t look good – AT ALL!
