Words to throw out the window...

In life:

try
ok
pathetic,
or any other word that denotes connotes such negativity.

Do reaffirm yourself.  Tell yourself how well you are doing in any given moment.  Granted, do not let the air go to your head and develop an ego, but do develop enough of one so that you stop knocking yourself down.  You are essentially your most important lover, Narcissus be damned.

In fashion:
trend
in
in season
making a come-back
evolution
revolution
fashionista
passion for fashion


While I see the purpose of these words amongst the flocks of men and women who worship at the fashion alter, whether it be the latest Vogue or W, or the latest installment in their local boutique or department store.  For example Jason Wu was very "hot" and "in" trend or "on" trend when he came onto the scene.  However I have grown beyond fatigued with the same words cropping up.  I write because I'm finding my own way of expressing what something or someone made me feel, or developing a new way of saying something.  Everything in art is (in my opinion) constantly being reinvented or improved, sometimes for the better, and sometimes not.  But when I look at something I don't think of it as something brand new that has never been seen before, never been done before.  But rather it was a new approach, a new solution, to a very old problem.  We're all essentially answering the same questions, we just have very different ways of answering them.

There will be more posts like this both to do with life and fashion.  I tend to get a bit philosophical at times about most everything and anything.  And I think over time my philosophies on how I approach life and fashion, and everything else will become deeply intertwined into my writing here.  And so I leave you with one of my quick thoughts...

If we only perceive everything around us half-heartedly, we miss the moments when everything connects and sets us back in awe.
