Fashion is an expression.

Aware or not, everyone utilizes fashion to express their wealth, personality, interests, or even their current mood. As I lovingly gaze at my color coordinated closet, bursting with articles of clothing, I can’t help but take note of the fact that each piece is an actual expression of me.

The 34 pairs of neatly folded designer denim taking over the top shelf of my closet does not simply convey my love for brand names, they express me. Each pair varies in purpose. It is obvious to me that each of these is a necessity when factoring in the many facets of my life.

What woman doesn’t rely on
the fat-day jean to make her feel thinner,
the over the top trendy jean to turn heads for her individuality
or the curve hugging jean to make her ex completely jealous?

I’m not suggesting that 30 something pairs of denim are necessarily the key to expressing yourself through fashion. I’m almost positive I have broken triple digits with the amount of accessories and blousy tops I own that exude my personality and lifestyle as well. I am simply proposing that a love for fashion is not synonymous with materialism.

Fashion is an art.
