Dare To Be Different

Fashion rules are so over. When I was growing up there were so many fashion rules that made no sense to me, like don't wear white after Labor Day, you can't wear navy blue with black, or black with brown, you can't mix gold and silver - or my favorite: a lady never goes out without a girdle. Thankfully, those rules are all dead and buried. We are now living in the world that Buckminster Fuller envisioned when he intuited that there would come a time when we could wear clothing across all cultures and periods of time. Unless you live in a really backwater area, you are free to mix Asian, African, European or clothing of your own creation without resulting in a call to the fashion police. Finally we are free to be who we are and to express our sense of personal style.
Diamonds and rhinestones were once thought only suitable to be worn in the evening by women over the age of 40. Another stupid rule dead and buried. Wear your rhinestones, or diamonds if you can afford them, whenever and wherever you please. Wear a fabulous rhinestone bracelet along with your bikini? Why not? Or wear it with your torn jeans and your hair tucked into a baseball cap when you are doing chores? Again, why not? If it makes you feel beautiful and glamorous then by all means never take it off.
"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly". - Buckminster Fuller
Go and be that butterfly!
