The wonderful thing about clothing and accessories is that they are voluntary contributions. Unlike hair coloring, style isn't permanent and always evolving. A few years ago I was Loft living
Williamsburg (Brooklyn not Virginia) and trying to fit in style wise. Everyone was way too cool for school that hanging with my cool sexually
ambiguous friends I found myself becoming a chameleon. I went to a prom party circa 1980. I think Marc Jacobs may have found inspiration from us hipsters in
WillieB. W Magazine did a whole article around the
Berlinsburg moment-thanks to a local dive club. I dyed my own
chuckies, I cut holes in my shirts, I cut fingers off my gloves, I went for eccentric. Did it work? Was it fun? Yes and yes. Was it me? No but when I moved into the city I reinvented myself again.
I encourage you to explore experiment and find yourself. Or just play dress up. It always worked for me!
