Girl Talk: Clothes Don't Define Us

 

Hey Guys x

 

'Girl Talk's' are back!

 

I haven't done a 'Girl Talk' post since last year, which is crazy! But recently a lot of people have commented that they really liked them, so I thought I would kind of bring them back on a trial basis.

 

I'm only ever going to do them if I have an idea that I want to write about, as with all of my posts. But when I used to 'Girl Talk' posts, I used to find it really hard to come up with an idea every Friday, and it made writing these posts no fun.

 

But now that I've had a break from writing them, I've come up with some fresh new ideas and I'm happy to finally be getting this one written!

 

Anyway, let me get on with it!

 

I have a problem with clothes.

 

I've never been the type of person to keep up with the latest fashion trends or to buy things just because everyone else says that they're must-haves.

 

But going to a girls school for 7 years now has really allowed me to see the different ways that clothes affect people.

 

For example, people are judged a lot on what they wear.

 

Not like me personally, but I've noticed that whenever someone doesn't like someone else, they tend to make a comment about what they're wearing as well. Such as 'Have you seen her shoes?' or 'Why is she wearing that?'

 

This annoys me.

 

Obviously girls gossip and bitch about each other. I do this, we all do this, we can't deny it.

 

Also, if you don't like someone, it's kind of customary to talk about them to your close friends, just because you don't like them for some reason, which, in my opinion, isn't 100% ok but we all need to vent, and as long as it's not malicious, it's fine.

 

What's not fine, however, is to make people feel bad because of the way that they're dressed or the way that they look.

 

Our clothes and what we wear should not define who we are or how we're treated.

 

Not wearing dresses doesn't make you a 'tomboy' and wearing dresses doesn't make you 'girly'. I mean, it can, but if it doesn't, that's fine.

 

If you're a tomboy that sometimes wears dresses, that's fine. If you're girly but like to wear khaki trousers and combat boots, this is fine.

 

Wear what you want to wear, not what other people think you should wear.

 

I could go on about this, but I really have to restrict myself because I don't want to ramble too much!

 

Thank you for reading

 

If you want me to continue doing 'Girl Talk' posts, please let me know!
