“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” Sorry I went all elementary teacher on you guys for a minute. But in honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday yesterday I thought I’d share my favorite Seuss-ism. Originally Seuss was my tie in because Friday was our big culmination day of Read Across America week in celebration of his birthday, and this happened to be the outfit I wore. But I think that quote is actually something that we, as fashion bloggers, should live by. Actually everyone could probably benefit from taking that quote to heart.
What you wear and how you choose to present yourself to the world should be based on what makes you happy and what best represents your uniqueness. Not on what others believe to be appropriate or right for you. That is especially true once you reach a certain age. What is that “certain age”? Well, I’m not really sure what the magic number is, but I can tell you this. I’m callin’ bullshit on it. Seriously folks…because I’m over 40 I should wear my hair short and my skirts long? Ahhh….no. Not happening.
I like my hair on the longer side and as long as I’ve got the body to rock skirts that hit above the knee I’m gonna do it. Graphic tees and distressed jeans? Until it becomes a felony I’m wearing them. Why? Because that’s who I am, that’s why. No matter what it is you’re into, if it makes you happy and you’ve got the cojones to carry it off, then do it. Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing. Don’t worry about what everyone else expects you to be doing. You are You. True dat.
