Fashion Victim

Fashion!

Fashion! (Photo credit: cosmicoutlaw)

In fashion’s hues do I adorn
My body now, clothed every morn
And should these colours somehow jar
I leave my household quite forlorn

The slightest clash I find will mar
A fashionista would-be star
Or last year’s shoes will passe make
This fashion aim that reached too far

The thought that I could now mistake
A trend, will see my sureness shake
Brings forth a fear that I’m alone
And at such prospect shall I quake

So temporary is the throne
That fashion leaders wish to own
I would be best to leave alone
Obsession with my style or tone.

    The pic you chose got me curious and I actually went to the Flickr account to see more! It was a fun ride 🙂 Oh, by the way, love this line: “The slightest clash I find will mar A fashionista would-be star” 🙂
