It is necessary to remember that women do not exist to satisfy others. If we wear our bright red lipstick, peplum top, and harem pants–it is not because we think others will like us best in it, it is because we simply want to fucking wear it.

Trends Dudes HATE! (And Why We Don’t Give a Damn)

In a world filled with fashion bloggers posting their daily outfits onto their personal websites, Tumblrs, and Instagrams, it seems that women not only feel a pressure to impress men, but other women, too. While these bloggers claim that they are just showcasing their creative styles to provide inspiration to their readers, they also create a standard for how other women should be dressing. Is this approach contributing to an additional expectation for women to live up to? Not only do women have to worry about looking good for men, but there is this unspoken competition among women that we have to be chic for each other as well. This is one more audience women are pressured to impress while deciding what to wear each morning. Should we even care about what other women think of our outfits? All these different opinions, no matter where they come from, do not validate us in any way. This constant judgment of women’s creative choices only contributes to a dissatisfaction of self.
