I have one question. Why are girls so concerned with being in fashion and looking as cool as one of their friends? I prefer, myself, to be ultra-strange, retro, or just plain weird. For instance, I would wear black jeans with a neon green turtleneck and a fringy vest. When I do these sorts of outfits, I get stares from the 'cooler' kids. Why is this??

Some of it stems from wanting to be accepted, some people dress the way they do because that's what they like...just like you. You know as well as I do, that people are often separated into different clichés. In these different clichés you are often judged by how you dress and what type of music you listen to. Being in fashion is not necessarily following the new trends or fads either. It's about creating your own look and feeling confident about it. Just as you have done yourself. The weird stares and funny looks are only because they probably wish they could wear something as intricate and get away with it like you can. Then again, don't bother with the stares. People who are dense enough not to have an open mind about fashion are totally not worth your time! Yes, people are allowed to have their likes and dislikes... So don't worry about those fashion-party poopers! Keep being yourself...and hey you could even enjoy the stares. Knowing that you're different from everyone else and that you're not afraid to be you!
