I have been wondering the link between relationships and fashion for some time as I feel the two are interlinked in every woman's life. Relationships shape our lives and fashion says who we are. What you wear ultimately is defining you as a person and I do not care if you want to give me that "its whats on the inside that counts as who you really are". Uh no. If you are wearing a designer somewhere on your body I already know a lot about you. Sorry.
I had my first real/bad relationship when I was fourteen and I can definitely say that it shaped me into who I am. It was my phase of Vans, Converse, and what I defined as "cute but different" fashion wear. From heart covered shirts to worn out skinny jeans my fashion sense was all about being different but being the same as every other fourteen year old girl trying to find her way in the world. Black nail polish was a look I could never quite pull off. When the relationship went south.. so did my fashion sense and how I looked. Long gone were the days of trying to be "different" and the days of being me commenced.
I learned a lot about myself from that relationship. It molded me into the individual that I am today and while I still have a "hate" flag waving for that person, I just have to say.. I just keep getting better in every department of myself. THANK YOU!
So while my fashion sense changed drastically after that relationship ended, I can't help but think that the two are definitely connected.. Lets be serious here, I would only wear black nail polish today if it were for a chic look not a grunge look.
Linked or not? I'm not sure. I think so.
