I cannot stand asymmetrical haircuts. Yes, amongst stylist they may be all the rage, but their allure is beyond me. Studies have shown that symmetry is far more appealing when it comes to personal appearances, and I agree. It annoys me to no end when a woman cuts her bangs in a short jagged slant running across her forehead, or when the right side of her hair is a bob and the left is shoulder length. Seriously, why is this cool?
(I can understand a sweeping bang, but the short, choppy, slanted thing is too much)
It’s like all of the clothing designers on Project Runway that look like they got dressed using throw-aways from Goodwill. If you’re a designer, you should look good. All of the well-known designers that I’m aware of dress the part. Why do unknowns feel the need the go against the grain?
I know, I know; obviously people have their own preference and tastes. But it seems like nowadays people think it’s cool to be different just because it’s different. Unfortunately, different isn’t always better, unique isn’t always cool. That’s why all of the hard core fads die quickly and everyone that jumped on the band wagon are embarrassed when they look at their own pictures five years later.
If you’re going to take a stand on being different, at least make sure it’s actually better.

Let me first say: You are quite ridiculous.
Secondly, I admire and aspire to be one who marches to her own fashion beat. Here's the thing: what I wear, I like, what I pick out is carefully crafted and thought through, like a very well constructed and thought-out sentence (you know, for you writer types). I don't necessarily care if it makes me cool, sometimes it might, sometimes there are haters, and sometimes no one will give it a second thought. Fashion is another art form that is very subjective, as is hair. And people find things in it to make a representation of who they are as a person. Now, I won't deny that some probably wear crazy and kookie things, so that people will think "Wow, how crazy and kookie". Yes, opinions of others matter, sometimes a lot... yet at the end of the day, the most fashion forward people are the ones who choose what they like. And that, my friend is cool.
I think I write more on your blog than on my own, good job.
Oh, and by the way... her bangs ruled.
I actually laughed out loud a couple of times. That was funny. My blog comment section should be called Amber's Blog. Good times.
