I love fashion just as much as I love books however there is no one who loves fashion more than Carrie Bradshaw (Sex and the City). What I love is that she didn't take fashion so seriously, she was creative in what she wore. The character was shown wearing just about any and everything and made it work because she had fun with fashion.
Which is why I also love watching The Carrie Diaries (despite it being cancelled) because although she was younger she still had that whimsical way of dressing. Carrie was still in the process of finding herself yet you could see the start of her foray into fashion. She was experimenting with different looks and trying new things, some worked but some didn't.
The Carrie Diaries got a lot flack from fans for not staying true to Sex and the City but I saw it for what it was. It was based on the books by Candace Bushnell of the same name instead of the hit HBO series which is also based on the book Sex and the City by Candace Bushnell.
Everyone has their own sense of fashion and I have noticed that you can tell the difference between someone who is confident in their own style and someone who is trying to emulate others. The latter is trying too hard to be like someone else instead of being themselves and it shows.
What I take away from Carrie is just to have fun with fashion and don't be afraid to try something different. But most importantly is to be yourself.
