Yay! We should where what we want and not conform. I where old things and they look great. People who have the new things are all victims. My friends at work make fun of the girl who likes new cloths. They make fun of ludicrous prints like leopard. They say some cloths are hooker where. I know about self esteem and how long it lasts. I have the most.
I am mixed up about the shoes. You used to say we had to where high heals but now you say flats in NYC. So I was angry at the heals. I like flats. If they have a nice comfy place for the front of my foot witch comes up way past the toes. But I don't like to change. I love to match and I won't change that. I match my glasses frame to my jacket.
Thank you,
Socky
Hi there, Socky,
The tyranny of Anti-Stylistas is nasty, because they are interested in keeping people down. Dressing in fresh, elegant garb is empowering (and not that difficult.) Just look at a lovely woman who has recently discovered what works for her body, and made changes accordingly. She walks on air. Wearing clothes in consideration of how others see you is showing respect for them. Thinking only of your own opinion is just the opposite.
Remember, style is about how things look. It's not the only thing in the world (far from it!) but if it denies the beautiful, then it's about the power to make you feel small; like a bad teacher whose entire focus is on showing you how much she knows, not helping you to learn what you don't.
And, since I was lucky to have many good teachers, look for some flats that have a low profile (that show more of your foot) and please, don't match the bright accent colors in your outfits.

Socky, if you want to learn about not matching, watch Amber's episode of WNTW. In her second 360 mirror outfit, she matched the brown skirt to the brown blouse to the brown hat and brown shoes. Clinton said "when people aren't so sure about their style, they think that they have to match things exactly". Also, "just because things match in color doesn't mean that you should put them together". Stacy called the look "antiquated".
Just thought having a visual would help you out. Sign me a former matcher! :)
