It’s your life, now dress for it

Why continue? When you continue, do you feel comfortable? When you follow, do you feel yourself? When you continue, are you really achieving something good for yourself?

We all watch fashion on TV, in the news and on the pages of magazines. We check there, sometimes diligently, to make sure we’re “with the times,” to make sure we’re wearing what we’re supposed to be wearing, and to make sure our acquaintances, co-workers, schoolmates, and others are telling us. will accept.

But seriously, do we want to be uncomfortable just to be accepted? Do we want to spend extra money sometimes, money that we don’t really have, just so that others will see us and accept us in their circles?

Since we are younger, most of the time, society will tell us not to copy others, to be original. However, when it comes to fashion, somehow that particular area of ​​life actually seems so disconnected from the rest of life.

It seems we’ll wear anything, even a burlap bag, if fashion experts tell us it’s “in” this year. That’s how it is. It doesn’t matter what the item is made of, who makes it, or where it’s made, as long as the fashion experts agree that it’s in style this year.

So who complements these experts? Where do these experts come from and who exactly is listening to these so-called experts?

I’m not sure about you, but I think it’s foolish to wear a noose around your neck. And to me, it’s just as silly to wear clothes that are so uncomfortable that it’s scratchy, itchy, and almost unbearable, just because it’s ‘in’ right now, this season, or next season.

To me, actually, the idea of ​​someone being a ‘fashion maven’ is ridiculous. Think about it. When you’re a baby, someone else dresses you. Someone else chooses all your clothes, colors, styles, materials, everything! And as you grow up and become a little boy, someone else is dressing you.

And there you have it, another year goes by and it’s actually quite a few more years, until you can actually dress yourself and choose your own clothes. So for years after you’re born, there’s actually always someone else in charge of the clothes you wear.

And you go to school and even if you’re in school and old enough to choose what kind of clothes you want to wear, still, yes, you’re still at someone else’s disposal as to what you wear. . You may have a school uniform. And if you don’t have a school uniform, you probably have a group at your school that wears the team’s ‘popular’ colors or clothing.

You can sit at home and watch TV and see what the latest styles are. And of course, right? Of course, you want those styles, because you want to ‘fit in’, right?

How can you go to school wearing something different from what everyone else is wearing? What if your school colors are blue and green and you don’t like blue and green? Can you get away with wearing purple, orange or yellow?

Hey! Do not even think about it. Imagine going to a game and wearing the wrong color? What would that look like to your friends and to others who will see what you are wearing?

So, there you are, you may have made it to high school and maybe even college, unable to really decide what you want to wear, fearing you “wouldn’t fit in” with the rest of society. So exactly how old should you be before using what feels right for you?

Forty? Fifty? Sixty? Say oh! You think that if you reach an old age, by then, you would be able to choose your own clothes, right? Think again. There will be those who will judge you. There will be those who say to you, “Hey, that looks too young for you”! There will be those who will talk behind your back and say that you shouldn’t wear that at all. And then there will be those who say it to your face: “Are you really going to wear that outside”?

And so, there you are. You’ve lived your life like everyone else has wanted you to live your life and you’ve worn the clothes that everyone else wanted you to wear and you could still be sitting there at 100 years old, saying… “Hmm… I think I have the old enough, now, to choose my own clothes,” he thinks again.

If you really reach the age of 100, it’s too late. That’s how it is. It’s too late at 100 to decide that you are free and can wear whatever is comfortable for you. It’s too late.

The time for you to decide to be yourself is right now! That’s all. Right now. Today, this moment, is the moment when you should look through your clothing closet and choose what is right for you, what is right for YOUR approval. It’s time to forget “fashion week”, and it’s time to forget what the world thinks is “in” and it’s time to be yourself.

You’ve spent your entire life listening to instructions from others on the subject of clothing and most of the time, it just wasn’t you at all. More often than not, the fashion industry was wrong. Dare I say that? Yes. Most of the time, the fashion industry is wrong. And the reason it’s wrong is because the whole industry, the main goal of the industry is sell clothes, sell material, sell accessories, sell sell period!

And now, whatever age you are, now is the time to stop shopping!

This year, be different!

This year, be you.

This year, don’t even buy any magazine that tells you what to wear because it’s not necessary at all. We really don’t have to read a magazine to know what’s comfortable for us, and after all, isn’t comfort the main reason you’d choose a shirt, top, suit, or anything? Wouldn’t you like to choose the most comfortable clothes you can buy?

If you answered yes to that question, then you have reached maturity. You have managed to get out of sheep mode and into “I am me” mode. Congratulations!

So what will you wear today?

Oh really?

It’s a joke.

You don’t have to tell me what you’ll wear today. Tell yourself instead of listening to others. And keep telling yourself what to wear. He throws away the magazines. Change the channel when the fashion ads appear. And don’t even check the ad section of the newspaper if you see clothes being “pushed” as this year’s “style.” Make your own style. And when you turn around and listen to the comments, don’t even listen to the negative ones. If someone doesn’t like what you’re wearing, that’s their problem!

It is time for us to become individuals or stay like sheep, following someone who is leading us. We were not made to be sheep. So we should not dress like sheep.

Take that step. And then take another one to your clothes closet and get rid of everything you bought just to ‘fit in’.

Hey, it’s just an idea, right? But it’s a good idea!

Just be you!
