I acknowledge that here are cuts, styles, colors and prints of clothing that are more "flattering" to my figure, but I think abiding by a list of rules when you get dressed in the morning is a ridiculous notion. If you aren't having fun with your wardrobe and taking some risks then what's the point? So here I am, wearing flat shoes, horizontal stripes and bold skinny leg pants.
Look at me breaking all those rules. Where are Stacy and Clinton?

Allie over at Wardrobe Oxygen wrote a great post earlier this week on the subject of taking clothes a little too seriously. The post really resonated with me. In getting caught up in the rules, we jeopardize our personal style. We lose the things that make us unique! We should all take Allie's advice and lighten up a little!
What fashion faux pas did you commit this week?
I think you look fabulous. Rules schmules. I encourage personal style, isn't that the best part of fashion!?

I don't think that the stripes don't look great on you! Rules shouldn't be taken to serious - just wear what you want and most important what you makes feel good.

ReplyDeleteBreaking the rules and looking awesome! Love those pants, the color is great.
ReplyDeleteI think fashion "rules" are totally outdated and silly. I love breaking the rule of 'redheads shouldn't wear pink or red'. Screw that! I totally agree with you, fashion should be fun and personal style is something that doesn't need a rulebook :) Have a great weekend!

it is very true, there are so many body type rules, and they can just get to be a little much!! Yes, you should know what flatters you, but you should also be able to wear what you love! I think you are gorgeous, because you look so happy, and nothing is more flattering than a smile.

Oh boy, I love What Not to Wear, but lately it feels like they've been trying to dress everyone in their preferred style, rather than really working with the individual's style. (Ie, the hippie-boho mom from last season. That was just a disaster of an episode.) I do think that so many rules for what you can wear should be broken and you've really shown this. Those pants look killer on you and striped tops just work for everyone, enough said. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the cord skinnies, stripes & leopard print! Break all the rules girl!
