Opinion: Where did we run off to?

Fashion is awesome (says the person with the fashion blog). Each season there are exciting new trends and varieties of clothes we get to experiment with and look beautiful in. Like everything else in this world though, fashion also has a dark side.

It's perfectionist style permeates everything women do. The skinny models, Photoshop obsession and financial abandon have turned women into a judging gender.

An all-female band, The Mrs., has changed that a little though.

The Mrs. created an interactive mirror that shows women how beautiful they really are.

This is how we should be treating each other. Fashion will always be changing, there will always be new trends and there will always be someone who is able to get all the pieces. There will always be that one girl who has the "perfect proportions". To that I have this to say: who cares?

If we continue striving to destructive goals, what we will get in return is destruction. Each of us is beautiful in our own way. We are literally all different.

The greatest thing I love about the fashion world is that there is some for everybody. We are easily able to celebrate our different body curves and interests because there are so many options. Wouldn't it be great to apply that same love of difference to how we impact others' views of themselves?

Tell your friends they are beautiful, compliment your mom when you see an opportunity and be a building block instead of a stumbling stone.
