Have you ever thought how strange fashion is? People tell us what clothes to wear.
That’s weird. Fashion stores tell us what is “in” this summer or this winter. People
then buy the same clothes and look like everyone else because they want to feel
trendy. The thing is, fashion is about being an individual, but then we all wear
clothes that are the same as everyone else’s! Keeping up with fashion is expensive
these days. Everyone is into brand fashion. Have you seen how much the
most fashionable sneakers are? How can kids afford those? The craziest fashion is
the luxury brands. People spend a month’s salary, or more, on a handbag or watch.
That’s crazy. I’m happy with an unknown brand at half the price. I don’t mind
being unfashionable.
