Love Your Style

On this blog, I continually talk about the different trends that are in style this season, what to wear and what not to wear, and what kinds of clothing items looks best on what body type. But while it’s great to receive fashion advice from others, the most important thing I’ve learned about fashion and beauty, is to wear something you love and you feel confident in. It’s great to follow the fashion norms of society, but what makes you unique as an individual is what style of clothing you love to wear.

I, personally, am a victim of not wearing something I like to wear because I think other people will think it’s weird or not stylish. I sometimes think I should buy something that everyone else has just because everyone else has it. For example, everyone these days are buying Birk sandals, but for me personally, I think they look like Jesus shoes. But since everyone is buying them, I’m slowly feeling the need to buy them even though I don’t think they look that cute, especially not on my feet. If I ever want to wear something out of the box, I always get nervous because I’m afraid of what others will think of my outfit so I revert back to an outfit I know everyone will approve of.

But as I grew older and learned more about my fashion style, I slowly realized that I can buy and wear whatever I want to wear because I love it. My fashion style should represent who I am as a person and not what society approves of. While I like to keep up with the trends, I don’t follow all of them because I have my own fashion trends I like to follow. If I want to wear a crazy patterned shirt with crazy pattern pants, then I’ll wear it because I feel confident and beautiful. As long as I feel fashionable in my outfit, then my outfit is already in style.

Fashion shouldn’t be a set of rules that everyone must follow. Fashion is creativity. There should never be a limit on how unique or crazy an outfit should be. So I urge all my fashionistas, buy those quirky shoes, put on that bright neon dress, and dress by your standards, not society’s. It’s okay to follow fashion trends and its okay to not follow fashion trends. How you dress and how confident you are in your outfit should be the most important part.
