Loaned Style

Often, having the right friends can be worth so much for someone who wants to move in the same social circle. Then, friendships come to a point that friends cannot deny the requests of others even during times of doubt. When Media Personality (MP) was building her career, she made sure she established ties with celebrities who could make her work easier and who would make her name gain a solid reputation. Moreover, having celebrity friends can project a positive image that would lead to respect and more job assignments in her field. In short, friendship has become her great marketing tool. Friendships and socializing with celebrities indicate trust, which could influence the public.

With MP almost as popular as her celebrity friends, her followers have formed an image that is desired by those who would want to follow her footsteps. In addition, MP’s connections are coveted, as she could move in the entertainment industry and even in the business world. She can mingle with all types of people in the upper echelons and still hold her own because she does have a solid reputation.

Now, behind such glamor is not all glitz. While followers can be envious of her fashion sense and the high-end cool stuff she often exhibits, sources indicate that MP is such a smart person. As some of those garments could have come from sponsors, well, MP knows how to use her friends. For a trip overseas, she allegedly borrowed shoes and bags from Famous Celebrity (FC). FC is known for her fashion sense as well and the fact that she does not get tired of experimenting with her looks. For instance, FC can appear in her show in different hairstyles and high heels that women would not dare wear. Over the years, with money and the requirements of work, FC has developed an impressive fashion taste for the finer things in life. Thus, FC has a collection of branded bags, shoes, clothes, etc.

Imagine the disappointment when people found out that MP was borrowing stuff from FC. Thoughts that MP’s style comprised borrowed stuff from friends, such as FC, were formed in their heads, which led to disappointment. However, MP is probably just being practical. After all, why buy when you can borrow.

‘I care not so much what I am to others as what I am to myself. I will be rich by myself, and not by borrowing.’ - Michel de Montaigne
