am I superficial?

If you haven't guessed from this blog, I really like clothes. I love buying clothes and I love putting together outfits and I really love how nice being dressed up makes me feel. I don't dress for anyone, I dress for myself. I like feeling dressed up and knowing I look nice. I love looking at how other people dress, because although that's not my personal style and I would never, ever wear anything like that, I think its interesting to see how other people dress and I can appreciate good art, because that's what I believe fashion is. So why does that mean I'm superficial? How does that have anything to do with my intellectual level? I'm not superficial. Being superficial means you are only concerned with what is obvious, shallow, only care about looks, etc. Just because you like clothes, doesn't mean you're superficial. I don't judge people on their clothes or looks, and I can assure you that most of the girls you have deemed superficial because they dress well, they aren't like that. The only judgmental and superficial person here is you. Yes, I do notice what girls (and boys) wear, but never in a negative way, I just usually admire. You know what, I really wish I could just go up to strangers in the street and tell them how lovely I think they look and how much I love their outfit. I really wish I had the confidence to do that, because that's what I think when I look at people clothes, not anything mean or unkind or snotty. I don't judge people by their looks, because that's not something I care about in the least bit. The only looks I care about is my own, and okay, maybe nice looking boys. There's nothing shallow about joking with your friends about nice looking boys, because those aren't the boys you want to be in relationships with. You form relationships, both romantic and platonic, with people who you get along with. That applies to everyone. Nobody is as superficial or shallow as how you have labelled them. Just like how an interest in fashion has nothing to do with intellect, whatsoever. I want to be a doctor. I'm not stupid at all. I love studying, I really do. It's a bit sad maybe, but I feel like I'm in my element when I'm studying for exams. I love learning, I really do. But I also loves clothes and make-up. I like to shop, and spend obscene amounts of time getting ready. There's nothing wrong with that. I think the only people who are shallow, superficial and stupid are those who make these assumptions. Fashion is more than just to do with appearances. Fashion is art just as much are literature and paintings are. Fashion is creating something using your imagination  Maybe you need to stop jumping to conclusions about other people and appreciate.

  1. I don't think you are superficial though these days people find it hard to tell the difference between taste and superficiality. I love clothes too and that is why I have a blog here on wordpress called FASHION...AS YOU WANT IT... but that does not make me superficial.
