What I loathe in fashion rules.

First thing I loathe is rules.
The trick is to do what I like and how I like. The chance is big, that people would loathe my attitude. The rule to follow fashion rules means to be in good terms with the fashion industry. I take the opposite position. I would make a rule : to be different and be yourself. Do not let them choose for you. Take your own freedom to choose. I am unique as well as every other girl. I loathe when everybody does the same.
The rule number two is simple: if you like something, wear it. Who cares if designers did some pants this season or if a fashion writer decides to declare some colour?
Rule number three: just because it’s “in” doesn’t mean you have to wear it.
However, I like Fashion Week, as I can enjoy watching new collections and be inspired by some fresh ideas or be reminded about something that I adore, but currently forgot about. It’s like the Olympics for the fashion pack, the pinnacle of the fashion year.
They say being a try hard is so passé. I agree; I look the best if I look my way: relaxed and casually elegant or shabby chic.
In all honesty, fashionistas can sometimes be a bit, um, boring. There are, of course, those who dress up and make an effort and look incredible – and there are also those who just look effortlessly stylish. I pursue the last variant. But let’s just say that compared to other world capitals – Paris, New York, Rome – Wellington street fashion is relatively low key. I think this is a perfect scene to look individual.
So if you want to “look fashion” then wear the craziest outfit you can find. It doesn’t necessarily have to be designer, just make sure you’re comfortable.
I always wear good shoes, don’t play a try hard fashion sycophant – all valid points. Really, you should just wear what you like and have fun.
The last but not the least rule is that I don’t leave home with a boring look. I pair a low key dress with bright patterned tights, as well as interesting flats, heels and gloves or my fake fur bolero.
For me the most important rule in fashion is to be myself.
