Our Sense of Style

Our sense of style (or lack of it)
Evolves but gets its start
When we are of a tender age
(Not merely young at heart).

For many children know if they
Like shining in a crowd
And therefore will prefer their clothes 
Bright, sparkly or loud.

While others like to blend and fade;
(Unnoticed would be best).
In basic clothing, unadorned,
Is how they will be dressed.

Our preferences may change a bit,
But probably not much.
The snazzy dressers and the plain
Will likely stay as such.

The cutest people in my family dress like this " While others like to blend and fade; (Unnoticed would be best)." The rest of us dress loud and proud! Hahaha
