fashion should play

i believe that everyone should carve out their own personal style and share it with the world.  little things like certain combinations or colors, or kinds of clothes.  but people don't seem to do this anymore.  or is it that they don't have the courage?

i love it when someone plays with expectations and does something silly like wear a tshirt that says: i have nothing to wear.  then, when you look at the whole ensemble, they are also wearing brilliant costume jewelry that sparkles like no other with a tiara.  this was probably my most favorite moment in fashion history.  when i realized that what you wear can be cool, trendy and ironic.  this was not me, but someone that i saw at the age of 18 and admired deeply.

today, i think i carried on that admirable tradition by wearing a lovely pink top- that has the junior league written all over it- with my white pearls.  while wearing pigtails.  pearls and piggys.  oh yes.
