Fashion is often misconstrued as frivolous, but trust(!) that every choice fashion girlies (genderless) make is for a purpose—how important or for whose benefit? Who cares? To serve, to deliver, to make an impact, that is the girlie goal.
Deep down though, fashion girlies still need functionality in their lives. But please, please just don’t let it be unironically unpretty stuff. We still care about the looks—as we all do, please!
