Dear Frannie Friday--Best Fashion Quotes (Part One)
It's Friday. Yay. Let's ring in the weekend with some of the best quotes re fashion I've found:
I am a big supporter of Ms. Wang's thinking here. There have been many items that I've picked up (usually at thrift stores) where the shape, color, pattern, size or general feel is something that I would usually shy away from. But they are always worth a try on. Sometimes they don't work out, but when they do it is great. You can really surprise yourself and it is a great way to step outside of your comfort zone and expand your wardrobe.
Aw, Mr. Versace. Truly a fashion legend. I cannot tell you how much I relate to this quote. "Fashion" is really what you make it. Don't get so mixed up in what is trending that you are unable to add your own flair to your looks. Without out your input, your style kind of dissolves and you just become a mindless drone to "the industry". Fashion is about art and art is subjective. Make it your own.
This is seriously one of my favorite quotes of all time because it is so true. I have so many clothes. Seriously. So. Many. Clothes. But I often find myself with "nothing to wear". And it usually comes on the days when I just feel . . . blah. I can almost always pick something out when I need to look or behave or perform a certain way. It's the fun of dressing up.
Mr. McQueen was revolutionary in the world of fashion. And he is absolutely right. There are so many "rules" that no longer apply in fashion, which is what makes it so fun and so freeing. And, in a way, it is very unifying in its chaos. Anything goes.
And another one of my all-time favorite quotes of all time. This is exactly what personal style is all about. It is a way to express yourself. And that individuality, creativity and freedom is what makes personal style so amazing.

Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.
