“Fashion is made to become unfashionable”

My rest trip was more into reality.

Well, I was staring at people (especially women) to critique their clothes.

It’s so amazing because the way we dress has an impact on how we are viewed upon or categorized in society. Whether we are at work, school, the mall, we are judged just because of our clothing.
The fact of the matter is clothing plays a key role in how we live our lives in many ways and in how we will be portrayed or even treated. Everything we put on sends a message.

I was very surprised to see that the best dressed women were sitting in first class. They were mid 40’s and older than 50 years old. Most of them looked very similar with black mid heels, black handbag and black skirt. For goodness sake! Black is an essential colour but don’t over-do it.

There are also thousand women out there who try to follow the catwalk trends or become Kate Moss and Victoria Beckman. The harder you try the harder it gets. We need to relax, go out to shops and have fun.

For example if wearing a big jacket because it’s a fashion trend and makes one feel uncomfortable and insecure, the personality becomes just as bad as the jacket. Just by what you wear and how you carry yourself, it's amazing how people make their assumptions on how a person is feeling.

Coco Chanel once said “Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening”

I believe that a woman is not sexy because she follows the fashion. She is sexy because of how she feels about her femininity and because she knows how to draw others’ focus to what is beautiful about herself.


Before I left the train I have come to the frightening conclusion that:
1. Lots of people don't care how they look like
2. Don't own mirrors and
3. It’s a nation of slobs




As for the rest of my day was fashionably insane and thanks to Mother’s day there were plenty of sales.
