Lookit Me


Does one need to have "a look"? Is there merit in always looking not the same, but vaguely reminiscent of the last time your pretty little face popped up on the scene? Without having collected much interest on my style bank account, I'mma throw my two cents in. Maybe un peu bold or premature, but it's important to have thoughts.

Yes. Yes, yes, yes, a hundred times yes. You're not "boring" if your captive audience can quickly and easily pick up on your style trajectory. (Big fan of the word trajectory right now). In fact, it makes it easier for swarms of adoring devotees to spot you in the pulsing madness of your posh entourage.

And don't forget the elderly. Your dear old aunts, uncles, grandparents and godparents are all quite interested in you, your life, etc - and you're only making their life easier by making yourself recognizable to them. Ha!

Thirdly, it makes shopping easier. Having a "look" does not restrict or limit your style choices, it merely guides them. For instance,

"Ohh, aren't these mounds of gold chains and baubles absolutely positively to diiie for?!"

[Let us assume that, yes, they certainly are "to diiie for"]

"But since my closet is chock-full of only silvery-type accessories and bits. Ergo, save those goldilocks for the three bears.

Lastly, fashion is fickle. "Having" a look does not mean "Chaining oneself to" a look. Wear what feels right.

Ha!
