Fashion vs Style

There are some people out there who can wear whatever they want with minimal effort. Sometimes, when I do that, it looks like I'm trying too hard.

Course, I wear things that make it seem like I don't care. Truthfully, I don't. I wear what makes me happy and what I'm comfortable in. There are some women here where I work that find it oh-so-amusing to make fun of me behind my back when what I'm wearing does not conform to their "tee shirt-jeans/yogapants/shorts-shoes" way of life. 

Like today:
This is what I'm wearing. Since it's pretty normal...for anyone...I've not heard a peep.

Yesterday?
This is what I had on. Apparently, it's just TOO WEIRD. *facepalm* Really?

IMO, there's a difference between fashion and style. Fashions come and go, style is forever. Or, as the iconic Coco Chanel said: "Mode passes; style remains." Her use of the word "mode" meant A prevailing fashion, custom, practice, or style, esp. one characteristic of a particular place or period. For me, it means fashion is the clothing of the time, style is how you put it together. My style of the day's fashion is my own. :)

What is your comfort zone as far as your outfits go? Are you tried and true classic? Or do you embrace anything that appeals to you?

Smooches,
Steph
