Sometimes, I hate being a girl

[songblade]

I get so confused and irritated with fashion. I'd like to look good and not like I stepped out of the 80's or 90's, but the standards keep changing so fast and I really REALLY hate buying crap over and over

Pfff... you should wear the shoes you choose.

(But, ah, note that I am not and have never been fashionable, and have been frequently known to wear SOCKS with my sandals.)

[songblade]

apparently, socks with sandals is in in France.... the thin, useless socks, though, that only goes a little over the ankle. I don't like THAT either!

Um, wear what you want? Fashion is utter bullshit pretty much designed to keep people on an ever-speeding treadmill of consumption fueled by dissatisfaction.

Wearing what you want is harder when fashion is like, nuh-uh, shitty shoes and ugly clothes this season!!! but then you just have to wait and when you do find something you like, buy enough to last you a while.

Thirding the whole "wear what you want" comment. Fashion is overrated, you'll look a lot better when you're actually comfortable in your clothes as you automatically carry yourself better.

Then again, I've never been fashionable either, I just walk around in whatever's on top of my drawer >.>

I find that the stuff I like usually comes back in style in a year or two anyway. So I just tend to buy what I like and only pay attention to trends if I like them.

Stock up some basic classic pieces to create a "uniform", ignore what the fashion victims are wearing and then make the rest up yourself!

But I do hear you on not being able to find the shoes you want. I reeeally wanted a pair of Mary Janes once but they were just wavering out of style and it was impossible to find a nice plain one in town. Where do I find it? In a little nowhere town where the latest fashion hasn't arrived in yet.
