Every Girl Has A Right To Fashion!

              

                 


          A lot of time the ego of small town girls is hurt by the uptown girls. Should it stop you? NO. If you can't afford the high end designer clothes, it does not means that you can not be fashionable.All of us are not lucky enough to get everything we want, most of us are different, we believe in self dependence, we believe in Karma....Can designer clothes enhance your appearance? Not necessarily. The fashion phenomenon is changing. If you know how to style, you can look good in anything. The eternal thing is your style, if their is no personalization in it, it looks fake. It's not always necessary to be in designers, you don't need a label on your clothes to get identified by others. You should be identified by your unique style. I think one can look great with a confident smile....Sometimes, it is good to be your own designer and stylist as well. If you have a good tailor, you can really design the clothes yourself. No one else can understand what looks good on you better than yourself.

wears the H&M trench coat dress, which is not more than $50 and she looks stunning!!
She says "I’m a big believer in high-low wear. This trench dress from H&M is weather-versatile, great for all seasons. On cold days, I wear it with a long-sleeved stripy sweater and tights, and in the spring, it works well with this Rag & Bone cream silk blouse. If you haven’t noticed, I always belt a trench."

 
            With the advent of mixing and matching trend(mix designer with the normal), the whole fashion perspective has changed. I love Alexander McQueen, I think he is the Knight of the Fashion! In his golden words, he described the current fashion phenomenon as: "I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern - wearing head-to-toe designer has become a bit passe. It's a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It's all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together". The trends change , i still treasure the clothes which were passed to me by my cousins, there are even clothes which are fifteen years old, but still they look super hot. Many of them are not designer but still they look fabulous. A few dresses were passed to me by my Mom, which I wear as Vintage.


Sara McDowellVogue’s Photo Assistant, wears her Mom's dress and looks charming and classy.
She says "Channeling the 1940s with a dress suit is a great way to start a Monday and an even better way to introduce my style—a hodgepodge of reworked, classic vintage pieces. Said dress was originally my mother’s, but I modernized it a bit by raising the hemline. The navy-blue-and-half-moon-print detailing lends a whimsical feel, making it a little less serious than your run-of-the-mill dress suit. And the shoes—nude, strappy platform heels from Nine West—are my go-to pair throughout the summer.".


            You don't need to be labeled to be well dressed. Try to be more generous and adaptive, real style and fashion is just not about spending money, its about how well you style anything ,everything, how witty you are and how creative you can be in your dressing. So, fahionistas, choose well, choose with intelligence! 


From the Spring Book of the Forever21
Remember, in the initial years of their carriers, even Chanel and  Alexander McQueen also were unknown and lost in the crowd, may be the upcoming designers today are the next generation Fashion wizards. Sometimes, nice steals could be found in Flea market as well. Being experimental in your dressing style expresses that you have evolving ideas and you are bold enough to try new things. 


Stella GreenspanVogue’s fashion assistant wears a Flea market jacket and manages to look the It Girl.
She says "My jacket is from a flea market in Paris, and I sewed on the buttons myself. I like to customize things; it gives them a personal note and makes them original. The pants are from Zara, my tank is Margaret Howell, my belt is Trash and Vaudeville, and my shoes are Grieder.".


So, all I have to say fashionistas is that, be expressive, be experimental, be fearless, be outgoing, be ravishing....... Their is a beautiful soul inside you, explore it and express it!!
