Fashion expresses what you believe in, who you are, and the way you're feeling. It is the perfect way to express yourself and make a first impression that says something about yourself - of course, there is no way of expressing every facet of yourself in one outfit, but hey - every outfit should be a start. <BR/><BR/>Also, there is no way to categorise "fashion people"... Does appreciating the aesthetic value of a dress make you a vacuous, incapable, one-minded idiot? <BR/><BR/>So-called "fashion people" are often those who give fashion a hideous name - women who walk around with tacky guess bags, high heels and denim capris, their boobs falling out of their top, etc etc... because they are the ones who seem to give a damn about how they look, compared to the beige shorts and horizontally-striped t-shirt mum ensemble... <BR/><BR/>True fashion types (for the sake of this explanation) are no different to other "types" - computer 'nerds', sports 'freaks', etc etc. Fashion 'types' are extremely knowledgeable in their field of interest, or in some cases, occupation. Millions of people are employed by the fashion industry, and they know their stuff. Reading Influence by Mary-Kate and Ashley made me realise how incredibly smart and generally knowledgeable they are. They know a LOT... and these are girls who most people consider to be hobo-chic coffee-addicted child stars gone wrong, one of whom is possibly implicated in the death of Heath Ledger (gossip rags, I hate you). <BR/><BR/>Investing in, say, a Chanel handbag, may seem to be excessive to some - but then, I believe designer dogs are ridiculous, and that expensive cars are a waste of money. EACH TO THEIR OWN. It is a hobby, a fascination, something for people to pass their time by. It gives people the chance to express themselves, and allows us to be who we want to be. <BR/><BR/><BR/>haha, sorry for the massive rant... I might post this on my blog one day :)<BR/><BR/>AND - her dress truly was gorgeous!!<BR/><BR/><3 brookebrookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03012447477344229038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484710903640431142.post-29870096853963137502009-01-25T18:01:00.000-05:002009-01-25T18:01:00.000-05:00Ey!
