Born too late to feel the golden age.

Rules.

I've always been a stickler for them. It's certainly true that with age comes a lessened desire to stick to the guidelines, but I was always the kid at school who stared in disbelief at those who welcomed detentions, who seemed only to find being punished hilarious, and who most probably went on to be far more outgoing than I ever will be.

Or, if my recent actions concerning a pair of cycling shorts and a lot of fringing are concerned, perhaps I'll take that crown for myself.


Y'see, fashion rules are different. They're not universal. There is no school of fashion to which a grand master plasters his own regulations. Nope. We're on our own here, and in my opinion fashion is something so unique, so non-generic and individual that it's futile to judge other's choices.


Or maybe I'm just hoping everyone else thinks like that too. Because that way y'see, I can get away with wearing tops with cycling shorts...right?

Right.

Ahhh how I wish I had your long legs! Some serious cool fringeness going on there too. I was the same in school, if you worked hard you were a 'chedder' - which by the way where the hell did that word come from, how is it even an insult??? It's funny how a lot of the ones who played up have or are expecting children.

I totally agree with you about rules, especially during school.
But fashion rules are meant to be broken! The fringe looks great on the cycling shorts! Great combo.

I never understood the kids at school who welcomed detentions, I was a stickler for rules!
This outfit, however, is finee :) Fashion rules are subjective! xx
