What Not to Wear. Ever.

Stacy London and Clinton Kelly. Taking over the world by storm; One fashion victim at a time. To bring justice to the nation and to make sure you aren't wearing white after labor day. They do it all, and at the end of the day, they know their fashion. So would they think I'm fashionable?

What defines "fashion" anyway?

Is it merely fads that we go through? 

Eras and decades that keep coming back?

Is it whether you wear flared jeans or acid wash or maybe you're more into the whole leggings as pants thing.

Whatever your fashion niche (or fashion evil), how do you know you're fashionable?

I've always wondered this.

Because to an emo person, I'm probably not fashionable.

They're more into that whole "everything-including-my-soul-is-black" thing.

And I don't really exemplify that.

To the more preppy folk, I may not be very fashionable either.

I can rock the frump look, if you know what I mean.

But I'm not quite eccentric or hippie either.

I'm just me.

So why do I still care so much?

Why is fashion so fun? 

(Or not fun if you can't find anything to wear because you feel like a hot mess).

Either way,

I just think it's so funny

how. much. time. people. put. into. material things.

Like there are so many worldly things that can be so fun!

And God made them that way.

But not to obsess about it, you know?

We naturally gravitate towards people we see as attractive or fashionable.

It is a form of expression and helps define your personality in a way.

Not always, and this might sound cheesy,

but often times you can tell a lot about a person by the way they present themselves to the world.

I guess that was kind of what God was talking about when He said to be in this world, but not of it.

BE fashionable. 

It's not a sin.

Just don't take it over board.

Don't obsess about that monthly sale at J-Crew 

Or the spring collection at H&M.

God provides all things.

Maybe I should ask for more fashion sense.

Ha.

Forever His,
