going back to basics

Let's go back to basics. my favorite accessory are sunglasses (probably my only one), right now and since some time ago I'm in love with my ray ban wayfarer. I love the vibe they transmit,that james dean attitude; they've become such and emblematic icon of music, time, and perspective. I wasn't expecting the fact that they were created as a man accessory, and I'm very glad that Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn were such strong female figures to wear them in the early 60's.

I don't like it when Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie wear them.. not so much that I don't like these girls (although I don't a little), but mostly because they take that "vibe" I talk about, and make it seem like other piece of wardrobe overrated, overly expensive, and "in", just like fashion, cause what is fashion, if not an overrated campaign that you'll follow every season no matter what it promotes, when you don't have style?.

So here's for style (EXPRESSING the self) and not for fashion (being just another follower)!, for controlling and deciding what fashion brings to us and not being another fashion victim!, =)
