Haiku: On Being STYLISH – Irreplaceable not fashionable

Fashion changes but style endures Coco Chanel
Confidence is the best fashion accessory. Vivienne Westwood
You can’t try to be somebody you’re not; that’s not style. If someone says, ‘Buy this – you’ll be stylish,’ you won’t be stylish because you won’t be you. You have to learn who you are first, and that’s painful. Iris Apfel

On a cold, dank night
Stylish sauntered in … wearing
A paper bag hat

 

Nary a misstep
She smiled, brightening the dull room
No chains and gauche gowns

 

Irreplaceable
Stylish worked the room that night
Not … fashionable

 
In response to today’s one-word prompt, we take a closer look at a word that even many fashionistas have a hard time grappling with … Style. Where does fashion end and style begin?

Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak Rachel Zoe
In order to be irreplaceable, one must be different. Coco Chanel.
“Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.” – Yves Saint Laurent
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art. Khalil Gibran

 

Today, we discuss
the merits of wearing brains
instead of cute trends

 

Not fashionable
but style … lit the room tonight
Unequivocal

 

What we make of it
Time will elegantly tell…
Style is forever
