Here I am, talking about fashion. Is it just me, or does anyone else feel a bit guilty about spending too much money on clothes? I’ve been wrestling with whether it’s really worth it to buy new outfits and beauty products every month. There’s so much else that money could go toward, right? Things that might be better for the world as a whole.
I’ve also been reading minimalist blogs that teach you to be happy with less, enjoy life, connect with friends, and not care about material stuff. I totally get that and agree.
Then there’s my husband, who couldn’t be more different from me. He doesn’t care about his clothes at all. He hates shopping and only goes when he literally has nothing left to wear. He often says, wouldn’t it be great to not worry about fashion at all?
It might be nice to be carefree like that, but whenever I try to skip new trends, stop coloring my hair, or ignore skincare, I get restless and unhappy. Even though I see the value in focusing on more important things in life and agree with both minimalists and my husband, it’s just not who I am.
Then I find websites like Advanced Style, where amazing ladies show off how vibrant and happy they are in their beautiful clothes. I talk to friends who reassure me, “At our age, you just need to do what makes you happy.”
Well, clothes make me happy.
– I feel great when I look great.
– I love seeing others looking fantastic in their outfits.
– I’m inspired by people who dare to be different.
– I enjoy seeing someone’s personality shine through their style.
So I’ve decided to fully embrace fashion and style and even celebrate it. Through this blog, I want to do just that.
Here are a few reasons I think spending time or money on fashion is justified:
– It allows you to celebrate life.
– It lets you celebrate yourself.
– It gives you a chance to use your creativity.
– It helps you feel good about yourself.
– It shows others who you are.
– It connects you with like-minded people.
– It helps you communicate what you want to achieve.
– It makes the world a more visually beautiful place.
I might add more reasons later!
