Girl REVISING.

17th & 18th January 2009.

I'm curious... do we conform to the latest fashion so that we fit in with people, or so we can try and stand out? Is it just a way of attracting the opposite sex, or is it a battle for status with your own sex?
Personally I love fashion, and one of my favourite things to do is to go shopping. I don't particularly look at it as anything of the above, merely a socialisng event that I enjoy. If I'm brutally honest I do use it as a way of trying to stand out and it has it's advantages of attracting the opposite sex... but both of those points are second grade motives.
I think fashion is as competitive and popular as it is for one main reason. It allows everyone to become anyone. It's an accepted form of playing 'dress up'. I love the fact that you can be a different person any day of the week, a walking piece of art.
Men moan about women spending all their money on clothes, but why is that such an issue? Shopping, fashion, accessoires; they're all just a different form of a hobby. Men have sports, wine, cars, films, video games...
Fashion is just another hobby, it doesn't hurt anyone, but can make everyone feel 100% better about themselves.
I know I'll have succeeded in life when I get my own walk-in-wardrobe.
Can you tell this weekend all I've done is go shopping and revise for psychology?
