A Moxie Fashionista takes fashion by the balls and makes it her own.

Great Outfits: Ashley Olsen
At first blush, I thought she looked like a linebacker -- albeit a linebacker with rather ornate taste in shoulder pads. Then I decided it was actually gorgeous. But then that angle made it look like she was wearing the skin of a bloated smurf, and the shoes smelled a bit of dyed-to-match pumps you'd see walking up the aisle next to some dude in a tux who is really hoping at least two of the bridesmaids are single. And yet with all that said, I can't hate it. Ashley just looks really pretty. It's weird when I can list things that feel like demerits and yet the final tally is in the plus column. Maybe this just means I am bad at math.
I am Ksenia and I am a moxie fashionista.
Moxie:
n. Slang
1. The ability to face difficulty with spirit and courage.
2. Aggressive energy; initiative: "Her style has moxie: she takes fashion by the balls and makes it her own"
3. Skill; know-how.
Fashionista:
A fashionista doesn't look at her femininity as a gender flaw.
Where some may be quick to label her a bitch, others actually take the time to get to know her eccentricities.
Fashionistas see fashion as an art; their own bodies are the canvas, and the sense of style they develope along the way is the masterpiece.
True fashion ("true fashion" as in the clothes and not the thin supermodels that wear them) is an expression of identity.
Fashionistas are:
Knowledgable about fashion, style, and, really, what works and what... just doesn't.
To me, fashion is an appreciation and understanding of aesthetics and that application of it in our lives.
