-18 Fashion Rules from Beth Ditto-
We could all learn something from Beth Ditto.
Beth Ditto has become the queen of punk-rock fashion, but she grew up with little money in rural Arkansas. She told Style.com, ” I couldn’t even really afford good secondhand stuff actually. So I wore a lot of jeans and T-shirts, I was really butch in high school. In Arkansas that was enough to get you beat up.” Beth is now a fashion icon for girls around the world with her fearless fashion choices. She doesn’t just influence fashion, she completely embodies it.

Beth Ditto has been praised by Italian fashion house front woman Donatella Versace for her “fearless attitude.”

ReplyDeleteGreat repost! I've heard her name before but didn't actually know who she was. This was such a fun list because it wasn't the expected, "just love yourself!" advice. I love how wild and sassy she is!
