“choosing to dress doll-like in no way negates your ability to think or function on a normal/higher level. lately, i have felt a backlash against sort of “twee” dressing; as if a peter pan collar indicates a lack of depth in an individual. however, while our exterior can be used to express ourselves, choosing bows and headbands doesn’t mean abdicating from being treated like an adult or acting with maturity. it is just as likely that we choose pretty packaging to soften the bite of a sarcastic tongue…”

I couldn't agree more by the excerpt. I think people spend too much time bashing what other people wear. But I guess that's reality since fashion is a mode of expression, and people have this inclination to give their two cents on every expression.
