STYLING SIDE NOTES | style permission

STYLE PERMISSION
A styling side note

The other week, I told a customer she could wear socks with her heeled sandals.
She recoiled like I’d said something outrageous.

A few days later, I saw someone walking down the street in what were basically knickers.

Everyone has a line.
For some, it’s socks.
For others, it’s pants.
We all think we’re the normal one.

Side Note:

  • shock: socks

  • freedom: no pants

  • reality: we all think we’re the normal one

  • style: not rules, just choices
