The author of this essay was very true to herself. As a child, she was "a slave of conventional fashion" but as she aged, she realized that fashion is not everything and that you should wear what you personally love, not what someone else personally loves. As a teen, she struggled to fit in with her clothing, and as an adult she realized that fitting in is not everything. Her essay addresses how she overcame her struggle and desire to fit in. Her realizing fashion is not everything is the instructions for life; when you realize what really is valuable in life, you will practice/pay more attention to it.
