My life revolves around fashion, not because I like to shop, or I love clothes, but because it means something more than that to me. It is all I think about, it's what I focus on in my free time, I blog about it, research it, it's really what I have a passion for. I believe in presentation; and I don't see it as materialistic, I see it as art and self invention. How you present yourself and how you live your life is greatly affected by who you are what you look like. You wouldn't dress goth if you are a preppy girl, because it's not who you are, simple as that. I can't wear jeans and a hoodie in public because its not who I am. It makes me extremely uncomfortable. Not because I think it's ugly, or because I think I am better than that, or high strung, it's because that does not put forth an honest image of who I am. Being understood is something that is important to everyone. You wouldn't want someone to think you loved listening to Lady Gaga if you despised her, that's what it's like when I wear jeans and a tee shirt. I want to hide away and not let anyone see me, it's like im lying. And I don't want people to see me as that because that is not who I am. And I am proud of who I am. I want it to show. And I can do that though my clothes. It is not just about personality, all these things go hand in hand to make you who you are. What I'm wearing can determine if i have a good or bad day, because it determines whether or not I am expressing who I really am. If you lied to everyone all day, you probably wouldn't feel so great by the end of it, because no one knew the truth, it eats away at you. That's what it feels like when I wear the wrong outfit. In order to feel true to myself, I have to get it just right. I believe that is true for many people, whether they think so or not. I believe fashion is important. And it is a completely different thing from person to person. It's not about designer, it's about finding the perfect thing that expresses who you are.
