My Fashion Statement

 

I love fashion, but I don’t follow trends.  I am not a mallrat either.  Hard to be one when there’s so much things to do at home and for the family.  With four “fashion” seasons, a preschooler, and bills to pay, I update my wardrobe only when necessary.  I buy new makeup when the old ones expire.  I jazz up a plain old outfit with accessories.  There’s SALE season and there are outlet malls where you can indulge once in a while.  And then, there are gifts.  It is a different story if I see something I “love at first sight”.

 

But then, there will always be the clothes that I will wear until the color fades, the perfume that I will use until the last drop, shoes that are so comfy I'll slip on until it’s worn out, jacket I'll wear season after season, and other pieces I so love that I just couldn’t depart from.  Here are just some of them:

 

A) The light and fresh scent of Elizabeth Arden’s Green Tea;

B) Blue and pink eyeshadow;

C) Bedside staples I put on every night;

D) Talc-free face powder;

E) A favorite t-shirt;

F) My plain tees;

G) Hair pieces;

H) Spring trench with beautiful embroidery;

 I) Belts to accessorize (and in case the pants get loose);

J) Chokers, lariats, bracelets, earrings and my wedding ring;

K) My obi with chinese textile design;

L) The often-mistaken-as-Gucci tote bag;

M) Ipanema flipflops with its attractive pattern and writings;

N) Ballet flats that never go out of style;

O) Adidas-looking sneakers;

P) Toiletry bag I love for its print

 

 

Fashion is what catches your attention when you see them, what you can afford if you want to buy them, what makes you feel attractive when you try them, and what makes you comfortable wearing them.
