Ive been wanting to write this post for quite some time and I suppose I just needed something to wear to go along with what I want to talk about. The name stitched across my chest was that very thing that inspired me to do so.
David Bowie was not only a musical genius but a fashion icon and did what no one else did. He pushed boundaries and his clothes were a way of projecting self expression and communicating individuality. Isn't that what clothes are all about self expressing ourselves wearing something because we like it. I feel like nowadays a lot of people rely on other peoples opinions and want almost reassured in making sure that person likes it too. What happened to just buying something because we like it!?
When growing up I used to care so much about what other people thought about what I was wearing to the point of asking myself "oh but what if she doesn't like this and living in fear of someone else's judgement. It wasn't until I reached the age of 16 I started dressing the way I wanted to dress, regardless of what anyone else thought.
Trust me when you stop caring so much you become a much happier person. My style over the years has somewhat stayed the same I still love black but I no one thing that I'm not afraid to try on something new and sometimes I even surprise myself.
Bowie took on numerous style personas such as Ziggy Stardust from wearing skin tight cat suits to embroidered dress coats he wasn't afraid to try something new. He was different. Its good to be different I love seeing people wearing something different weather its a cool combo that is outside the norm, fashion has no rules, make it your own and like Bowie rock it with confidence.
So for anyone reading this next time your in shopping for new clothes or see something you potentially might like go with your initial instinct be bold, be yourself and don't let anyone tell you otherwise after all your the one wearing the clothes not them. Be anything but boring!
Bowie was an instant star who will shine on forever, so always remember be your own kind of different and be more like Bowie!
