Its a phenomenon I like to correlate with the effect our body's natural pheromones have on the perfumes/colognes we wear. Have you ever noticed that a scent can smell especially good on someone you're in love with and smell completely diferent on someone else? Of course there's a lot more working in that scenario than just body chemistry, but something similar happens in terms of our personal style. Our body shape, our personality, and our psyche has a serious involvement in making something look so right or even so wrong.
So what, right? What's the point? There's a major point- this means that in a world of mass produced fashion where everything feels cloned and one-size-fits-all (or no one) there's still hope for individuality without being over the top attention-seeking sporadic. There's a little something, a spark, a curve, just something that makes it perfectly absoloutly- you.
I love this post. I have been thinking a lot about this the past several months. I'm drawn to many trends like a little racoon..."Oooohh, Shiny...", but I try to practice the subtle art of staying clear of trends that don't add to the impact of my personal style. I'm not a purist, and I'm by no means an expert but I think that neglecting this effort can lead to a watered down look and a hectic closet. Lovingly curating your wardrobe over time is very personal and well worth the effort. Thanks Katie!
