One thing
that fashion does is that it –the people behind it- create the trends that most
people follow in order to feel “in fashion” and acceptable by the rest.
Although I don’t totally agree with the term I understand the normal brainwash
since afterwards and above all comes the personality. Meaning it is up to the person that
follows one trend how or when to adopt it according to the character and the personal
style.
So, I keep
the trends i like and feel comfortable with. Otherwise if you don’t (feel comfortable) you won’t be able to support it. It’s not something new, but
many times we are confused by what other people wear or by what other people
think or say, so we must stick with what we want, what we like and what we feel
like doing, wearing etc.
It happened
to me once more with the new trend of the "Birkenstock like sandals" which many
favorite fashionistas wear. It is definitely the kind of shoes that a few years
back would be characterized as “granny shoes”, I remember mine at least wearing
them, or “orthopedic” due to their anatomic-like sole shape, and are the kind
that men surely hate since are not sexy at all! However, I like them a lot and
have even found them very sexy at some fashion bloggers!
Now the
dilemma was to get or not to get…
Still don’t
know, sure thing is that the ones I tried on at Zara were the least awful at my
feet but maybe it was just this design that wasn’t flattering for me, so the
search is on again!
And
remember that “fashion is what you are offered 4 times a year, style is what
you pick out of that fashion”.
