Gawker Offers A Reminder
I love fashion.  I really do.  I have no problem with people spending money on designer clothing - if they can afford it.  However, I do think that many of us spend too much time shopping and ogling over the next “it” thing.  This article at Gawker reminds me of how much we are a consumption-based society and how the media constantly wants to tell us that we “must have” this.  I just hate to see women spend all of their hard-earned money on things that they’ll forget about in a few weeks.  Meanwhile they’re still living paycheck to paycheck...

I think fashion definitely has its place in each of our lives, but we have to remember that there are more important things in life - like our relationships with family, friends, and the community at large. 

I guess I’m feeling a little philosophical today.  You’ll have to excuse my ramblings!

I do agree with you - having personal qualities is so much more important than having designer clothes. I mean - only Paris Hilton is excused from this, and that's solely because she's too dumb to understand. Having said that, I also think that having personal fashion style is also important, and I hate people wearing all the same items (like uggs), no matter how unattractive, ugly or sensless some of those are.

Ivy,

I wish more people would understand that it's your own personal style that makes you stand out from the crowd, not what label you're wearing.

Thanks for reading!
