But I thought about Lent: how shallow to be focusing on Style in any way shape or form. And then I remembered:It's Fat Tuesday
"Style is more character than clothes, more attitude than affluence. It's you making visible your inner self.
Whatever else it is, style is optimism made visible.
Style presumes that you are a person of interest, that the world is a place of interest, that life is worth making the effort for.
True style, in addition to being irrevocably social, is even morally responsible. Consumption isn't promiscuous or random, at the whim of the marketplace or the urging of marketers. Rather, it is focused on what is personally suitable and expressive."
From 'The Style Imperative' by Hara Estroff Marano
