inspiration

the most recent post currently up on the sartorialist is one i find particularly inspiring. (and trust me, after being sick in bed since tuesday, some inspiration was much MUCH needed)

"So what is more important, fashion or style?

I attended a few fashion shows today and I have seen some very "fashionable" young ladies. But, they always come up short when compared to the young ladies doing their own thing.

I know what this season's trends are suppose to be and this young lady doesn't really fit into any of those forecasts and yet she really stood out from all the other pretty young things."

the truth of the matter is, i fell for fashion because it helped me express myself as an individual, tell my own story. it is so easy to get bogged down by trends, seasons, labels, but all of that is pretty much bullshit if you aren't dressing how you genuinely want to.
