Since my freshman year of high school, I have been a devoted member of the Kate Moss worshippers. Sure, the girl's had some serious slip ups, but she has bounced back. Moss epitomizes the effortlessly cool look that supermodels seem to have in their genes. I constantly search for Moss in any magazine, and try to find similar wardrobe pieces. One particular item caught my eye. Moss was seen out and about in London wearing a knee-length vintage leopard print fur coat. I could barely stop myself from drooling.
That August, I walked into Express and saw a similar coat. Despite the crushing heat, I wrapped myself inside the warm and pelt and exclaimed, "I'd KILL for this coat!" That Christmas, I opened a box to find my very own leopard print fur coat. I loved it! Some of my friends had other opinions. My boyfriend told me I looked like "a high class escort" when I wore it. My roommate called it hideous.
I was discouraged by their proclamations. However, this morning, I would up and felt fierce. I slipped on the coat, despite my roommate's horrified expression. I decided that if I loved that coat, and it made me feel fabulous, then I was going to wear that damn coat. I felt like a movie star, and you know what? I was warm too! I strutted my stuff all day long. The moral of the story is to work any part of your wardrobe with confidence. When in doubt, I like to think of a quote from Lady Gaga, who said, "When I wake up in the morning, I feel insecure just like any other ... girl. Then I say 'Bitch, you're Lady Gaga. You get up and walk the walk today.'" Let's all get up and walk the wallk in the clothes that make us feel special.
