Commemorate David Bowie In These Awesome Pieces

Today I woke up, remembered that Bowie left us on Jan. 10, and sank back into sorrow. It doesn't seem real that the world could have lost such a beautifully creative mind. For me, commemorating David Bowie is of utmost importance. And one way we can show our respect and mourn the death of such a unique and talented individual is through sporting David Bowie fashion and beauty items.

One of my favorite things about Bowie is that he didn't let anyone or anything define his personal style or character. Bowie embraced his uniqueness, which you could even say made him a body positive role model. He didn't care if he wasn't prescribing to modern day's societal beliefs of what was thought to constitute beauty. Sometimes he'd look like a glam rocker, other times a 1950s business man, or occasionally an androgynous alien. His style was ever-changing and, IMO, he was the most effervescent musician to ever roam the galaxy.

I know I will be remembering David Bowie by wearing his likeness on every inch of my body. He spoke for so many of us and helped pave the way for a future where we are all free to show our true selves. If that's not worth taking with us, I don't know what is.
