my own Fashion

When I started to grown up, I wanted to look like the stars that I used to watch on TV. Especially the singers that I loved. I liked everything about them. They were all pretty and all so well dressed. I think that was the time I started to be interested in fashion. I was about 13 or 14 years old. I wanted to be like them. So I would always ask my mom to bring me to shop. She didn't understand why I always wanted to buy clothes, she told me that I already had enough for the next few months. But I always wanted to have new ones. I would  try to look for the exact same clothes as a singer that I've seen etc.
But one day my mom got tired of all that and decided to make me realize that all the people I would watch on TV weren't always dressed so perfectly. Additionally, the clothes they would wear were given to them by creators just to wear for a special event or something similar. The stars always would try to be and look perfect because they need to send the perfect image to the people who are watching them.
I was just 14 years old and I needed to have something to follow. In that case it was the stars. But now, I've known for a long time that what I was seeing was absolutely fake and somehow still fake nowadays. The fashion I was try to follow wasn't the good one. If we want to get dressed, we need to get dressed in our own and personal way. I don't try to look like someone else anymore. Of course, I can like a dress or a clothes that another person wore but I wouldn't wear it if I didn't like or if I didn't feel comfortable in it or even if i didn't think that that clothe is something that can represent one of my personal taste. Everyone has his or her own taste, way to dress. We dress to express ourselves, not to look like another person.

  1. I really like your observations, Mariam. We can learn a lot of life lessons from our mothers who have so much wisdom. It is really important to be comfortable in your own style--it expresses our personality in such an obvious, outward way. Nice thoughts!
