I think most people may feel fashion has a flat, superficial aspect but I've always believed it has a tremendous psychological effect too. Clothes can create an allure, and that allure can be a great confidence booster making you feel good about yourself etc. That YSL quote is legendary, he just passed away... RIP YSL.

I have noticed with friends and family about the way that they dress--some won't wear red because they either don't like it, feel too risque, or feel they do not look good in it. Or perhaps it is a certain type of top or... And it is interesting in that they are often right. Some of the way they hold themselves, or "show"-that isn't the right word, "wear" the clothes actually affects how they look. Even if the color looks good with their hair and skin colors. It is their own perception of the fashion, or color or pattern that affects their personal style. Did that come across like I wanted it to? Interesting topic.

I really might be a fashion chameleon without one specific look. I'm also older, 37, and feel that some of my choices are not as appropriate as they could be, due to my size. BUT, I do make a big effort to at least try to dress within my age range, even though I can still wear the junior lines. I've decided not to edit too harshly till I turn 40. I'm not ready.

They are going through a thorough re-examination of what's important to them, how they see themselves, and how they want others to see them. It can be difficult, but I think we all have experienced the good feelings, even euphoria, that comes with having gone through a a difficult identity crisis, especially if we come out the other end with some new clothes that match our new vision of a ourselves.
