i love this woman. she's strong, sure and has a clear vision of what she wants and also what in life brings her down. it's a gem to have people.
so here's SJP's latest fashion foray, on the cover of American ELLE magazine. Sarah and Carrie are different people, but to me they're very similar, considering the fact that one is a fictional character. my best friend and i had a conversation about her once mid-way through a SATC marathon (we paused first) but she had a good point - she's not stunning to look at. she is attractive, but Carrie isn't one of the lucky head-turner women of this world. but what we both agreed she had, and in droves, is attitude. sexy attitude. this species of girl is unique. she's got swagger like it's her last day on earth and she just saw Bloc Party live in concert. yeah. we then pressed play and saw evidence of this as Carrie did something that proved her point (i can't remember because it was a good 2 years ago, it would have tied this all in neatly if i did wouldn't it?) but i remember her outfit was incredibly original and effortlessly worked (i WANT her wardrobe, you don't understand) because she approaches her sense of style with confidence, candour and cockiness in just the right amount.
it's not about being rude or mean, that's not what i mean - it's about being happy enough in what and who you are to not give a fuck about others' opinions of you.
take it in, but don't let it rule you and get over it, life's too short for that boring behaviour.
Agreed, SJP's appeal is in her attitude. She really brings home the message that style is also skin deep. I mean, we've all seen those stunningly beautiful ladies, who are dressed in equally beautiful clothes, but at the end of the day they look bleh because they're boring as bat shit.
ReplyDeleteCheers to a fabulous attitude, and not giving a stilleto what people think about you. Loving it! xxxx
