Beauty is Skin Deep

Fashion icon Coco Chanel once said, “Fashion fades, only style remains the same.”
It seems almost as quickly as pictures and memories fade, so do the trends we’ve dedicated our lives obsessing over. As we transition from mere children to young adults, we must realize that beauty is skin deep. Our identity is not based on what we wear, but rather on who we are and what we make of ourselves. While being engulfed in the styles plastered all over magazines may get one foot through the door of one’s dream job or into the cliche “popular group” at school, attitude and how one carries themself are what truly separate each person from just another face in the crowd.
In today’s world, some feel it is necessary to conform to the ideals of society. However, in order to truly be a unique individual, one must break from the chains of uniformity. Focusing life around the perfect pair of stilettos or the cutest little black dress you can get your hands on, will only take you so far in life’s trivial journies.
While some may refer to Vogue as frequently as others are dedicated to sacred religious texts, will praying to Anna Wintour (Editor-in-Cheif of Vogue) get you through life? Image is more then how you dress and the color of your make-up pallette. It is purely your reputation, how you carry yourself, and what you make of the opportunities and obstacles you’re presented.
A wise man once said, “Today is not a dress rehearsal.” In life, you may truly have only one chance to make a lasting impression. Although presentation may play an integral role, the personality and sincerity you bring to the table trumps all.
To truly be beautiful, one must shine from the inside out, as the face you show the world is merely one piece of the puzzle. After all, it’s not what you wear, but how you wear it.
