I would like to define funky fashion. Funky fasion is not people who follow the trends, but may use the trends to their advantage in a certain outfit. People who are funky do not define themselves by the store that they shop in nor do the discriminate against any certain store. Funky fashion is not limited to just Lisa Turtle, or Screech but could be a mixture of the entire Saved by the Bell cast. Funky can be a mixture of thrift store and name brand, lacy and leather, a simple gold bracelet and a huge plastic pink one, matching or unmatching, a ton of jewlry or none, classy and trashy. Being funky is about taking risks, and not being afraid to get a stare or two from people who wish they could be as funky as you. Funky is about color or a lack thereof, but funky is never about boring.
