Fashion Truth


A long time favorite online boutique of mine is running a social media campaign that I actually find interesting-- it's centered around the concept of #Fasiontruth and asks followers to post what their's is. I can get behind something like that, in a culture where fashion is often used as a tool to "keep up with the Joneses", build a sense of worth or get attention. Can I just say that I find those to be fashion lies? I often use the term "personal style" in place of "fashion" because I believe it better defines what a healthy sense of fashion should be-- a style of one's own, purely for self expression and because we get to choose what we wear.

My fashion truth, I suppose, is that a wardrobe should not be a facade, or a hiding place, but a canvas for the heart.






And I seriously wish I had a specific reason for wearing this "Gossip Kills" tee, but it's just true and awesome. :)

    1. Hi again, thanks! It's funny, I'm not sure if I ever expect others to "get" or note what I'm wearing as symbolic or meaningful expression-- I do it more for my own purposes I guess, but I'm glad you can see it! :)
