She was asking for advice on what to do when people ask “why are YOU so dressed up?” As if wearing something cute that makes you feel good is a “strange” thing to do! That comment got me thinking about dressing up and what that means. Since when did it become an unusual thing to put effort into what you wear and have fun with fashion? I was immediately inspired to create this list. So why dress up? Because life’s too short to blend in. Because you’re only young once. Because fashion is a method of self expression.

Because it’s fun!
