“Even the best of us have our affectations, whether it be hats, bow ties, scuffed suede or too short trousers. But nobody need fear making mistakes - it’s all part of the process of developing our own style.”

I love that tumblr has really opened up a forum for everyone to ask questions and stretch their styles. But every time I read someone asking “Can I do this?” or something to that effect I want to give them this quote. Fuck rules and fuck anyone telling you how to dress. That’s the point.

“I feel so out of touch with internet fashion lately. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like everything is so excessive and… like the mall. I’d really like to get back to the basics of dressing. And what attracted me to personal style and fashion in the first place. It doesn’t have to be minimal. It could just be as simple as choosing a dress with a jacket. But the idea that you aren’t trying to be anybody else except yourself. THAT tells a story.”
