The Ugliest Thing In My Closet: YOLO

I'll be the first to admit that I have said some mean things about the fashion choices of others.


Oh, look, Crocs. Nice. Just kidding, they look super awful. 
Those leggings are the reason why I hate waking up in the morning. 
Why on earth is there a Tweety Bird decal on the back of that jacket??

That said, I am not perfect. In truth, the reality is so far from it. I own some truly horrid things and have been known to accidentally wear a pair of high-water pants or two. I sometimes rock a really ratty pair of acid wash jeans and I adore this yellow shirt with pictures of pheasants on it. Go ahead an judge me because, yes, I also own, wear, and love this spectacular ensemble:


Take a Gander. 


If I ever tell you that your favorite outfit is a fashion "don't," just conjure this image to mind. What justification do I have, really, to be telling you that plaid and stripes shouldn't ever mix? Feel free to ignore it and decide that, whatever, I have wretched taste anyway. What do I know? In 2011 Vogue magazine named the Olsen twins the world's "most stylish sisters" and, boy, do I heartily disagree with that decision. Fashion is an art and we are never all going to agree on it. That's cool. I promise not to get offended. Remember my cat pajamas?


So, why do I love my endearingly un-stylish jammies even though I know that they are about three inches too short, that they are a shade of red only suitable for Santa and that they do,  in fact, feature several dozen happy cats? Well, those pajamas make me happy. Blessed are you if you can look at that print and still feel morose about life because I have not yet mastered the ability to do so. I know I look awful in them, but YOLO, I'm going to do it anyway. Find what makes you happy, and stick to it. That's my ultimate fashion creed.
