Overall.....

Personal Style is like playing the piano.
First you must learn to play by the rules,
then you must forget the rules and play
from your heart.

I was looking for a quote that summed up my feelings on personal style. BAM! That would be it, above there, but I also believe that we can go the opposite direction. I knew a few people in high school that had some atrocious fashion choices that honed their personal style into something unique and perfectly sartorialCheck Spelling. Of course, it works against the majority of us. I am just trying to defend the few this theory DID work for. I was one of them; because, when I speak of atrocious choices, I wore Dickies overalls for my entire Freshmen year of High school; well, at least 2-3x a week. Nevertheless, as comfortable and unique as they come, the classic workman’s overalls are not what you would call fashionable. But, over time, I realized what worked and what did not. I was able to keep my fashionista eye open, and still experiment with some appalling pieces. I feel that helped to develop my style.

****No offense to a certain sister and brother in law, who find said overalls perfect for married life in Santee :)
