Friday Fashion - What is fashion?

If there is one person to blame for starting fashion it must be Eve.
I wonder if she wore a different leaf for each day of the week.
In fact with the beauty of nature the Garden of Eden must have been full of trees and plants of different shapes, different colours, different textures, different patterns and different sizes.

I am sure she had enough to choose from to wear for at least every day of a whole month.

And that is what fashion is all about;

• What we wear
• The different shapes, colours, textures, patterns and sizes
• The different seasons
• How we express ourselves and
• How creative we are

I have learned over the years that fashion doesn’t matter. Now tell that to your teenager daughter and she will not agree with you. “Oh mom, you are so old fashion”.

For me following a fashion is just another originator pathogen which causes unnecessary stress, financial burden, peer pressure and social conflicts to name but a few.
The only time that I found fashion valuable is when it comes to culture dressing.

Don’t make a mistake, I like following fashion I just don’t dress according to it.

I love watching “Project Runway”. For those not familiar with it, Project Runway is a competitive television show for designers. It is pretty amazing what these fashion designers can create with just a piece of material.

I also love paging through fashion magazines. The only difference is that I believe that I’m doing it for the right reasons.

We are human, we are women and luckily we are all different. For this reason there will be some of you who will agree with me and others who won’t.

Before you decide if you want to be a fashion junky answer the following ten questions;

1. Should I dress to impress others?
2. Is dressing not for me to feel good in myself?
3. Will dressing according to fashion truly give me more confidence?
4. Why should I follow a fashion so that I can follow my idol?
5. Should my happiness not depend on my style and not the style of others?
6. Must I dress to make new friends?
7. Why should I give myself a headache when I go shopping for clothes?
8. Should I lower my values just to be in fashion?
9. Am I willing to spend outrageous money on fashion items?
10. Will following a fashion really give me that degree or new job I’m looking for?

After all, the original Cinderella wore slippers with fur on them and not slippers made out of glass.

Conclusion: I think I'm getting old...
