Fun Fashion Quote
I really like what Stella Blackmon’s says in her Week of Outfits feature on Cup of Jo about wearing clothes that work for your lifestyle and for who you are as an individual:
“You know how people say that kids always remember the times they threw up? I remember every outfit in my life that drove me nuts. Like my blue Mary Janes I had in fourth grade that pinched my heels unless I walked on my toes, or the cargo pants with five rogue zippers. Or the homecoming dress I had to casually hold up the entire night with one hand. What was I thinking? The clothes that let you do you are where it’s at. Now I know.”
