Anything Goes

Gone are the days we can only wear skirts a certain length to be in style, in today’s fashion scene we can wear anything from mini to maxi, and from skinny jeans to palazzos. No matter what “they” say is “in” or “out” at the end of the day – or rather, at the beginning of the day – we decide what we’re going to put on.

It’s very liberating to make our own decisions instead of being dictated by the fashion industry. My mother worked in retail (Holt Renfrew — high-end women’s fashion) for several years after leaving hairdressing due to allergies. She told me they change styles so that people keep buying new clothes.

Follow the money. While I do like to help the economy, I believe in SLOW FASHION. Fast, cheap fashion is not only bad for our environment, but also hurts the workers in the garment industry.

As for me, I will keep my skinny jeans, leggings, capris, bell-bottoms, gauchos, palazzos, joggers and any style I like no matter what “they” say! (My joggers are way more stylish than sweat pants.)

Do you follow fashion “rules” or stop wearing something because “they” say it’s out-of-style?

In this day and age we can wear whatever makes us happy!

Fashion is fun!
