If you were asking my grandmother that question, the answer would be a resounding "YES." In her opinion, some of the worst crimes against fashion are pieces of clothing where patterns don't match at the seams (hurts the eyes), unfinished edges (the clothing will rip at first use), and over-embellished tops (robs her the chance to use every necklace in her closet in her outfit).
And that's SO not me.
In my world, sometimes those things have to happen. Fashion doesn't have one definition. Fashion also doesn't totally define a person. It's the most adaptive form of expression: from a kentucky tuxedos and ostrich-feather skirts or sequin vests to your birthday suit, everything a person wears shows a little about who they where, who they are, and who they want to become. An example is a woman wearing clothing too large after losing immense amounts of weight or the new college graduate wearing ill-fitting suits with too-tight collars. We've all been somewhere, we got here, and we're going there. Duh.
Needless to say, we all make choices, like different things, and, without a doubt, abhor what we don't understand. I try to give everything a chance ... it might strike out but you can't knock it till you try it!
Regardless, no matter the materials, a ball-gown sized confidence always makes a look.
Rock that gold lame tube dress, light-up stripper heels, and feather headdress. You will turn head but if you've got the guts too pull it off. DO IT.
