Fashion is a funny thing. Those that know me understand that my idea of fashion is to choose a look and just ride out the changes. Eventually fashion will catch up to wherever I am. Long hair is out, long hair is in, and then long hair is out again. That's okay, I'll stay here and wait for it to come back. It's happened at least three times so far.

Some people say this is a silly concept, that I can't just choose anything and expect fashion to eventually agree with me. If that were the case, would we have clothes that provides the illusion of tattoos, clothing that makes us look naked (and furry at the same time), or clothing that is stolen form Middle Earth? If you can think of it, it's almost guaranteed to become the height of fashion within your lifetime.

So for those of us that can't keep up with the hectic pace of fashion (or just can't manage to colour coordinate first thing in the morning), just stick with what makes you feel like you. You'll save having to replace your entire wardrobe every six months because the fashionable shade of green has changed, and you'll be able to spend more time laughing at the funny things that other people are wearing “for fashion”.

Fashion will catch up sooner or later; you can wait to be cool.
