Etching impressions

 To say I'm excited about fashion itself would be a stretch, a slight exaggeration perhaps. Instead what does presently excite me though, is in fact style. Because of the element of it, the very essence of it, style to me is literally electrifying. Its totally elcectric, and just a tad eccentric. It separates us, it defines us, and its a powerful tool to express ourselves. See, were ultimately, fashion in pure terms is just a choice, a tick box, style is instead a natural impulse. You take part in the crowd of style, weather you love it, or even notice it. And In openly rejecting it, your almost embracing it. You just can't escape it, and that is what inspires my love for it.

Style is more then just the clothes you wear. Despite what some glossy pages might hint at, style is very much like a inherent being driving us all. Style is like a big mixing pot, fill it with everything you've openly loved, desired, and hated. Then throw in the stuff you don't want to need, and the things you wish you had never done. A huge blast of dreams, regrets and passions are all wound and binded into a scrapbook inside your brain. If you don't think you or others have style, look at the choices made in life.

 That is were style reveals itself. Sure, to be cliched style can be either the boxy type blazer or the leather jacket with the little black dress, but its also the two or three sugars in your coffee, the pocket you use more then the other, your preference for were you sit on public transport. Style is what make us who we are, above and beyond the little bubble of fashion and for that reason, I'm utterly fascinated by it. 

True style though, is hard to ever grasp. It needs to be free from the pressures of judgement. The want to be truly yourself, must begin to out way the desire to be anyone else. Of course, our style is a collective mix of what we like about others, but we must not be afraid, when no one else is inspired by what we are. We need to embrace all that is us in our very core, and translate it into words/actions/colours, everything and anything. Style is forever powerful and mind blowing, and it it is just about you. Its something to enjoy, and to express yourself with. Style is why I loved fashion for so long.
