I Believe in Fashion by Shelby Wachal

Every day you see people who try to express themselves in different ways. Some people get tattoos, some dye their hair, and some have different styles. All my life, I have loved all the different styles that people wear. Fashion shows who someone really is and what they like. In fashion, you express yourself, show your mood, and get ready for different occasions. I believe in fashion.

In elementary school, I went to a catholic school, where we wore uniforms every day. When I wore uniforms, I felt like I could not show people who I was. When you take away fashion and give people uniforms, you take away all of their self-expression. Everybody wears different clothes, shoes, and accessories. People who are happy wear vibrant colors that stick out. For the more non-outgoing people, there are your basic neutral colors. People who just want to dance around can wear skirts, so that they can twirl around with the skirt fanning below their knees. When I am feeling like making a statement, I wear more bold outfits that would notbe seen on everyone. There is also make-up for girls to wear. Make-up comes in all different colors and styles. You can wear neutral colors to blend in with your natural color, or you can go wild with colors, such as rainbow colors, to make your eyes pop out and be more noticeable for everyone to see.

Everybody has mood swings. We all have our highs and lows. With fashion, you can express how you feel. On days you do not feel bright and shiny, you might wear sweatpants and a t-shirt. Those chilly winter days when you just want to be at home in bed, you might wear an oversized sweatshirt and baggy pants. When you feel like nothing could go wrong, girls put on their cutest dress and heels and show their moves, whiles guys wear jeans and a nice t-shirt to dress up when they are feeling good. On days you feel like you need to be noticeable, you might wear neon colors and a big hat that can go with any outfit. Day by day every mood changes, and every outfit changes too.

Fashion also depends on the occasion you are going to. When you are going to your best friends' business party, you cannot show up in shorts and a t-shirt. You have to make sure that you are wearing a nice dress, if you are a girl, and slacks anda polo if you are a guy. When you show up to a football game in heels, you are sure to trip on the steps and embarrass yourself. When people are laughing at you, you will realize that you probably should have worn sneakers or flip-flops so that you would not be on the ground. Fashion is very important to consider when you are going to an occasion.

Fashion is like a lifestyle for me. The way I dress is how I express my mood. When I am feeling tired I put on my sweats and t-shirt, but when I feel excited I put on my nice shirt and jeans. Fashion can say a lot about a person. It is a way to express yourself, show your mood, and something to consider whenever you are getting ready for an occasion. Fashion is what makes me who I am today. I believe in fashion.
