Fashion Victor

I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I have an idea. What I have is a fantastic title that will become an idea over the course of time. And that time is nigh.

Maybe this is just a mindset I adopt so that I can wear funny clothes that end up looking like costumes, but I like to think that dressing up is really about feeling comfortable, about composing yourself. When you set out the door you're already putting on some sort of face the world face. Your clothes are just another factor and they don't have to say "Please don't hurt me" "Please ignore me" or anything else.

One person's fashion victim is another person's fashion victor. Usually this means you're out on a limb, dangling, not trepidacious about foul fall colors or the offense of the norm.

Really all I have to say is that going for it with your clothing can really make you feel more like you. And more like you in a way that is worth being in a public that can be stifling or claustrophobic.

So don your cap and cane, your boa and bracelets and remember that old phrase: "And when you win, it is evident that you have victory."
