Is other people•s opinion about your clothes important to you? Style is very personal. Still, many women seem to be motivated by choosing clothes so they will be acceptable to others. I know that when I was growing up, the opinion of others of what I wore was very important to me. Which clothes you wore also determined in which ‘group’ you belonged. However as I have grown older, I care less about what other people think and rather go with my own instinct and style preferences.But still, when I’m in a shop, I sometimes find myself wondering if I really should go for a particular purchase. This usually concerns the more riskier items,like the dress Ishowed you recently. You realise when you buy an item like that, that it will not appeal to everyone. So how important is it to buy wardrobe items that are deemed stylish by a lot of people? I suppose that is what celebrities often ponder as well when going to special events. Many play it safe and go for elegant black dresses. They will never make it to the best-dressed list, but at least they will not be on the worst dressed list either. But some celebrities take risks. They will sometimes pay off and become the style star of the event, while at other times, they may end up on the worst dressed list ,since their choice was too fashion forward. This happened to the most amazing style icons like Cate Blanchett and Gwyneth Paltrow.But let’s face it, most of us are not celebrities, so we don’t need to fear that we are being outed as worst dressed. Yet, many of us would like to get compliments for their outfit and like to be been seen as a woman with style who ‘never gets it wrong’. So what to do?
