Transitioning from one season to another is essentially very fun for me, when referring to fashion of course. Is that period lasting about seven to ten days; Where weather is shifting from Summer to Autumn or Winter to Spring - I call it my play out period. This is when weather tends  to drastically change from one day to the other, and often weather predictions are shifting with very short notice. This is the perfect time to merge my favorite fashion aspects of both seasons into one look.

This might sound quite odd or unusual to some people, but this fun playtime with fashion is something I've been doing since I was in high school. I remember walking into the classroom in black shorts, a black turtle neck, a navy blue square-cut jacket, and black double-tasseled loafers, when one of my classmates asked "what the hell was I wearing" and if "I was confused about the weather." Now, of course, these questions were not taken personally from my end, considering the visible lack of sense of style from my classmate. This was the first time I noticed... people noticed. I always encourage everyone to make their own fashion choices and statements based on their true selves. Of course, they are trends and so call "fashion rules" that were stablished by who-knows-who,  but who says rules were meant to be followed.

I started to show up to places with very different pieces merged into one attire. Anything from short-shorts paired with a longline duster jacket and sneakers, to wearing no top under my coat. Not the most revelrous activity in which I've partaken, but for sure the one in which I had the most fun for so many season. In retrospect, that is the concluding argument of these few sentences: have fun with whatever you wear.

I recently had the opportunity to rediscover that "sexy," "good looking," "being a snack," and all the synonyms of having a powerful vibe, are solely driven by feelings. It was such a shocking moment to understand, after so many years, that how you see yourself in the mirror - and how others potentially perceive you - is the perfect and identical reflection of how you feel - Now, read that again, OUT LOUD. Is through the power of words and awareness that we can change our perception of ourselves and others. Remember to genuinely complement others and their great assets, respectfully - say it! You can be the one to highlight and spark the curiosity in others about their own potentials and strengths, physically or otherwise.

I know this post might be turning a bit long, comparing to my regulars. I believe at this point you have grasped what I'm trying to convey. Feel good, project your greatness through your own fashion, and respectfully complement others. All of these previous points will eventually lead you to happiness and self acceptance. Open yourself to experience such feelings, I recently did. These bullet points and your favorite magazine are your ultimate bus stop essentials; Don't forget to take them with you to your final destination. Enjoy the ride!

Cheers,
