Rant

I read this article in some newspaper about style trends to be followed in college .I was wondering what this obsession with style frames in clothes, all about? .I don’t ever remember going by what’s in and what’s out while I was in college. And needless to say I still don’t do it. Then what does it categorize me as? Not a stylish person? Yet I really don’t seem to be out of sync with the fashion trends. Then what does this make me? Unconsciously stylish or what they call effortlessly stylish? Or does it in fact make me as someone who follows trends blindly? Again that’s not exactly the case coz I don’t pick up clothes off the shelf and pay the money. I might pick it up, look at it or rather scrutinize it thoroughly [after all I’m the one paying my money so I should, as rationality entails, get my money’s worth or at least feel that I’m getting the worth] and then buy it after I’m convinced following such a detailed deliberation… [God we actually use our decision making in such a detail for our clothes, and still they have categorizations for ‘analysts’. Aren’t we all that???]
So basically I don’t know what category I belong to? I know the question is why DO I have to belong to some category. It’s because the world seems to be hell bent upon typecasting people, books, movies, clothes, food every damn thing.
What’s with this obsession really? I mean coming back, to my first question .I really don’t remember these style frames, that are shown in details with all geometric shapes explained laced with difficult jargons which reasserts the domain of fashion gurus, after I have flipped the page. As a girl I do know that some deliberation must go into what we are wearing on a particular day. [The deliberation can actually start weeks before the actual event, if the event is really really important enough. Its quite besides the point that seldom does an event go perfectly smoothly, even after planning so hard, if you badly want it to go well, especially concerning the clothes and the hair and all of that]
But really excessive obsession is bad…with all d mags and newspaper entertainment pages devoting more than one page to it in every issue.
And I don’t understand how can the fashion gurus cry hoarse on something that is ‘out’ of fashion? You can point out what’s in/what looks good for the season/what looks suit best for body types. But how can say something is out? I can surely wear bell bots [I DON’T KNOW THE SPELLING, BUT OFCOURSE] if I choose to, and if suits me who is anybody to point out “sheeSH its grotesque”...balls, I tell you!!!!
