YES! I love you.
Your post was awesome, andpretty much exactly how I feel about leather/pleather/etc pants.
Hip hip hooray to you honey

The way I dress isn't "regular" or vanilla or like the average person ("safe" clothing, only sticking to trends - only wearing something once everyone else is wearingit and it's "okay" to wear it, etc) so I find it very unfortunate that most people feel that "oh only the celebrities can wear that, I can't".
What the eff kind of BS is that? That's really an odd way of thinking.
It's one thing if your style is just kind of bland and you just don't think you could pull something off, but to see a "celebrity" wear it and you think it's great, yet you can't? Because there's really a difference between us and them?
That's the thing. I know I could be one of em, they just happened to stumble into this celebrity lifestyle, so I never, ever hesitate to wear something, just because it's "out if the ordinary" for us non celebrities.
If you could stand out from the drab "ordinary people" and look fabulous and polished and glam, THEN WHY WOULDNT YOU?
