I don't see any problem with indulging in a little bit of dress-up sans raison every once in awhile. I bought this beautiful pair of silver and white heels at a vintage store about a month ago...
...but so far haven't had any excuse to wear them. So tonight a few of my girlfriends (also with new heels and nowhere to go) and I are dressing up and going bar hopping... solely for the purpose of heel wearing. Sometimes I wonder why I can't be one of those people who scoffs in the face of fashion and claims not to care what they wear, but when it comes down to it there's just something about finding a dress that fits you perfectly, or a sweater that's the right shade of orange (to match your red hair...), or slipping on a pair of heels that are extremely comfortable and look great. To me, style is just as relevant a form of personal and social expression as a painting or a book. It acts as a form of art that you wear on your body and how you wear and manipulate clothes to fit your style is unique to you. So instead of expressing myself through acrylics or words, tonight I'll express myself through heels. In the words of fashion icon Coco Chanel, "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous," and tonight my girlfriends and I will be both.
