Words of Fashion Wisdom From Xtina

May 1, 2008 by WendyB

Christina Aguilera has a good attitude about her life in fashion:

“I don’t believe in fashion faux pas. Every look I did was important at the time. When I was in the Lady Marmalade video it was all about being over the top, sexy and playful. The big hair, the make-up, it was so much fun. Would I do that today? Probably not. It was a different time, a different place for me.

“Everybody has an opinion on what I wear, especially about the outfits that were perceived as being very provocative. Some people were really closed-minded and judgmental. Fashion should be fun; lots of people take it way too seriously.”

    Her style is always one of my guilty pleasures. Like her even more now.

    Christina Aguilera is surprisingly deep and insightful.

    I know a guy who got The Clap from picking up the Rolling Stone with her on the cover back in her dirrty days. Quite the cautionary tale.

    I liked her Drrrty phase too, particularly for 3-7 minutes after midnight.

    Strangely I agree with her. Fashion should be fun and we shouldn’t be worried about faux pas.

    She’s got a solid sense of what fashion means to her. I admire that, and applaud those who wear what they want.

    compared to her pop princess counterparts, Christina sure seems to have kept it together the best. I love her retro look lately!

    Xtina RIP. I miss her porno cut-out chaps phase. Still, we’ll always have youtube and bored late nights.

    Nice quote too – I don’t trust anyone who’s not willing to stand proudly beside their fashion faux pas. Good taste is waaaaay overrated.

    Dirrty was the moment I sat up and took notice of X-tina. She threw down the gauntlet and said ‘f you all’, very Madonna.

    Althought Christina is not one of my fashion icons, I definitely agree that fashion should be fun, it’s a way to express our individuality. It shouldn’t be overanalyzed. Great quote from her!
