All that I love

My favorite things : Holly Garber, by Jak and Jil

For me, these pictures represent what every women (not every but most) are looking for : clothes they will love for a long time, timeless accessories. What am I actually looking for ? I don’t really know. Clothes that I feel comfortable in, shoes that don’t hurt my feet, accessories that will represent me. I don’t know. Maybe I am looking for myself. Don’t you ever feel that ? Searching for clothes, deeply looking at the mirror and wondering “is it me ? does it suit me ? will it be weird on me ?”. Sometimes, I wonder : “ok, take these clothes, that red skirt, this blue shirt, these plastic purple boots, these bunny ears and have fun !”. But I never do that. Why ? Because I don’t want people to laugh at me.

Yesterday, when I was in the tube, a pretty young woman got in. She wore an incredible white fur hat. Actually, one coudn’t miss her ! She seemed to feel comfortable in it, warm of course. What I noticed was how people were looking at her : they were staring at her, and not in the good way. Some people laughed, and I guessed some said “this is ugly !”. I thought she was beautiful with that hat !

I’d like people to think that I dress well, that’s why I’m not original. I’m looking for my style, but people rule it. Actually I’m not courageous.

What about you ?!?
