Is your style really a reflection of you? Do you care what image you convey with your clothing? What truly means 'dress to express'?
Teenagers and the demographic of college-age students alike are the number one priority demographically when it comes to the fashion world. I just want to know, do you think they really care about your best interest? Are you conscious of your choices? Everyday we witness the media- social networks, tabloids, gossip websites- hype up celebrities and their so-called 'fashion sense'. It's sad to say there are those of us who subconsciously emulate those people to a T. Being that we are children of older generations- the psychedelic and activist era of the sixties, the revolutionary and disco era of the seventies, the retro and glam of the eighties, and so on- you'd think collectively we'd each conjure up a sense of individualism. It hurts me to say a lot of us rely on those put on a pedestal around us to dress us, which can in itself relay a lot about us to the world.
At the end of the day, some might say they do not care about the opinions of others, or everyone will eventually look the same. Touché. However, as pictures are worth a thousand words, do you really want to look back and have those words not be your own? Allow your soul to glow through the clothing. Fashion statements are the unspoken words of the individual wearing them; don't allow the clothes to wear you.
