Uniformity can kiss my ass!

Hi, my name is Emilia! Formerly known as Emily but Emilia resonates deeply with me. Emilia rolls off the tongue better- especially for when I’m introducing myself in Portuguese, Spanish, or un po’ d'italiano. Just thought I'd get that out of the way so now we're all on the same page.

I recently just quit my job, it's funny how things manifest for me because as soon as I posted my anti uniform passion piece, my beloved-sans-uniform job decided to enforce uniforms lol.

So, being the drama queen that I am, I said peace out girl scouts!! You can keep your badges and your vests but I'm not being told what to wear.

This is something that resonates so deeply with me. Unless you’re like a scientist or work in the medical field- I get it for sanitary reasons or whatever. But ever since I could remember, I threw a temper tantrum if you dressed me in something I didn’t like.

The first morning having to follow uniforms I had a panic attack! The second day I retaliated by wearing my uniform inside out because it looked cuter that way and my roommate Nicole agreed!

I visited my grandma a year ago, she told me that when I was 4, I would ask for certain designs to wear with specific fabrics picked out. I remember my favorite dress that my grandma made for me. A white cotton babydoll dress, with a wide ruffled collar, lined with red trimming and a red little bow, right on my decollete. She told me that I never wanted to take it off.

I quit everything that required a uniform- dance, catholic school, and any type of sport because I hated them and frankly not very good. I’ve always had trouble following rules.

I bought a planner, in order to establish my own kind of rules. lol So let’s collaborate! So I can write it down on my cute butterfly, flower, pink, purple, and blue year of 2023 planner! Is this how I finally become an Adult?

I struggle with the likeness of the reality of the fashion world vs my delusional love for it. There’s so many rules and regulations, politics and egotistic superiors. But I will not be a prisoner of such. Fashion doesn’t have rules, at it’s true core values, fashion is limitless and inclusive. Fashion is expression, it should be free of judgment. Let others inspire you and vice versa. Uniformity can kiss my ass! Whether your uniform is one that you wear mentally or a uniform that you physically wear, try to make it look cute!

Also, why so serious? The Joker was onto something with that. I collect lighters and the one that I have on me today is the Joker. I resonate with his message but without all the killing and being evil hoopla.

I like to laugh, everything is a joke and can be made into a joke. Like, if you’re not laughing babe, ask yourself why? Look within maybe? Or Look in the mirror, you look horrible, let me style you! <3

Xoxo,

Emilia Lorenzi
