When I was four, I got my first pair of "high heels". Even though they were little plastic sandals with a scant heel, I thought they were fantastic! I look through old photos, and I see myself, Burberry-esque print polyester pants, black turtle neck, owl medallion necklace...I was four then, too. Fast-forward to high school: shaved head, blond and fire-engine red hair, purple lipstick, two different earrings...I thought I looked fabulous. College: Birkenstocks, heavy Guatemalan wool sweater, wide legged, faded jeans...again, fabulous.
My point here is that as a person changes, so does their style, and that's just fine. I think I would go insane if I couldn't keep reinventing myself through clothing (and yes, that fishing vest I donned in my early twenties wasn't popular at the moment, but a few short months later, a certain international corporation featured them as their Fall Signature Items...just sayin').
The problem that some people encounter, however, is that they change emotionally and physically but don't know how to reinvent their look to match...that's where I hope I can help.
I think that's all for now. I was going to say, "Now you don't want to be stuck still wearing....", but then realized that some of you may be perfectly happy exactly how you are...and I say, "rock on". But for those of us who crave change, let's break out our owl medallions and swim upstream!
