Developing Your Personal Style, Thusday, Period 1

"So let's talk about trends," Petra said to her class today, "because I know they can be intimidating. But they don't have to be, and they're not supposed to be. Trends are supposed to be fun! And they can be. I promise. The first thing is, you don't have to follow every trend that comes along. In fact, you shouldn't. That would make you not stylish, it would just make you a sheep. The key thing is to pick out the trends that you like, and that work for you. Like, say you're...a goth," she said, with a wry glance at Kenzi. "You might not want to follow, say, a trend for florals or neons, but you could probably figure out how to incorporate lace, or high-low hemlines, or studs. Oh, one other thing, you have to be careful when deciding what trends you're going to go with, and shopping for those clothes. If you know it's just something fun you're only going to wear a few times and then never again once the trend's over, that's one thing, but if you really like a trend and want to incorporate it into your wardrobe long-term you're going to have to be more picky.

"I found this list of trends for summer, along with some pictures of what they look like so you can get a better idea, and I want you guys to go through and pick out which ones you could see yourselves wearing, versus which ones are so not you." She eyed the first one on the list warily. "I'm not sure leather for summer is for anyone, but they keep pushing it, so...yeah. Maybe you're that person!" She still sounded doubtful, though.

Kenzi was laaaaaughing at some of those pictures. Laaaughing.

Being a Perky Goth meant you could laugh at anything really.

Zhahar was flipping through the pics with a very dubious expression. Some of the cuts of the outfits, she liked, but very few of the trends they were highlighting. Leather? Clear lines? Overalls?

No thanks.
