I enjoyed this article by Vanessa Lawrence of W Magazine.

I never realized the pressure some feel over fashion.


I never could get dressed in the morning, but not because I cared what others thought. I generally just needed to feel right in my clothes. Nothing is worse then feeling uncomfortable and even as a preschooler I understood that. In fact my own mother took me to school in my underwear, because at age five with my arms tightly wound across my chest, I would shake my head no.  Every beautiful outfit my mother tried to get me in led to an argument

and finally she just got fed up. 

(Don’t worry when we got to school, I got dressed in the back of the car.) 

I don’t settle when it comes to fashion, I may love my Elizabeth and James nude jacket today, but tomorrow it will be the last thing I throw over my shoulders. I guess to achieve that ‘effortless chic’ look, you have to be really stubborn and throw all your clothes on the ground, until it is that right outfit.  It’s all about how you feel, because that is what everyone else notices. Your confidence is what people perceive as effortless.

Only you have to go home and fold up your mess.
