Beautiful Mess
“We’re still here
And what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like taking a guess when the only answer is yes
And through timeless words in priceless pictures
We’ll fly like birds not of this earth”
The world is full of messy places and messy people, but there is beauty in everything. Jason Mraz says it so eloquently in seeing that this world is such a beautiful mess and we are here living in it. We are all apart of the broken, messed up world. "And through timeless words in priceless pictures, we will fly like birds". Those words ring true in so many ways. Pictures can capture moments in time and words can describe what happened. There is no limit to the beauty you can capture in a photo. Pictures and words can describe what I am wearing, but it is through my story that you can see why I wear what I wear. It is through others stories that you can see why they wear what they wear.
This world is beautiful and in every chance I get I want to see the beauty in the broken. The beauty in the grunge style or the beauty in the very eclectic (I hate that word but it is the only one I can think of), each clothing piece shares a story much like a photo or words on a page. Your style could be messy, but what a beautiful mess it is.
My favorite thing about style is using it as a way to express yourself. You can get a glimpse of who a person is by their style, but it is not until you sit down with them that you get to know who they really are behind the clothes or behind the layers. Fashion can open the doors for conversations that you never could have had.
I encourage you if you see someone with an outfit that makes you take a double take or you are just in awe of it. Go up and talk to them, they probably have a story to tell or an interesting life to tell.
