Here is today's confession: I am not a fashionista. Don't get me wrong, I love fashion. I subscribe to InStyle and my favorite TV addiction is Project Runway. I love to observe the way the trends ebb and flow, I just choose not to partake in 97.7% of these passing trends. One day it's pleats, the next month everything is jewel tone. It is very easy for women in today's culture to get totally confused and feel like they constantly need to "update" their wardrobe. I am also different from many woman in that most women shop for jewelry to match their clothes, while I shop for clothes to match my jewelry. Imagine how thrilled I was to observe that all of a sudden, lace is in style! Lace dresses, lace shirts, lace skirts, lace tank tops. So, I had to take advantage of this very passing trend to stock up on some fun clothes to match the jewelry that I make. I will continue to wear my lacey clothes long after the trend dies down and everyone is wearing tiger stripes, or whatever else happens to be in style at the moment (and really, does lace ever go out of style?). When you stay true to what you truly love, you will never be out of style. You may be out of fashion, but you will always have your own style that is unique to you. So don't be afraid to buck the trends and go for what you really like. It is perfectly OK to be the only one in town who doesn't own a pair of UGG boots.
