Do you depend on trend or pave your own way?.....  

Were you one of those kids that dreaded "free dress day" at school?  If you're Paris Hilton then awesome bring it on, you could get away with changing your outfit every hour on the hour, but what if instead of dressing to kill you're dressing to not be killed?  

On one of my first ever "free dress days"  I remember wearing my sisters brown "Blundstone" boots.  I thought I looked super cool but a few girls a year older than me had different ideas....  They thought it would be fun to back me into a corner of the girls' bathroom and spend the whole lunch hour picking on my shoes.  

More like they were actually picking on their inabilty to have the guts to be different!  

For years I marched to the beat of the "trendy" girls drum instead of creating my own rythm.  If the cool girls weren't wearing it then no way in the world was I going to.....  

Then wow I couldn't believe it, a couple of years later all of the coolest girls were wearing my earlier fashion mistake - Blundstone boots became the "in" thing!!   How smug was I feeling ;o) 

Moral of the story though, even if it hadn't of become the latest trend you should just follow your instincts and pave your own way in this world!
