The best thing about confidence in yourself is that it gives you more courage. Whether it be with fashion or standing up for yourself.
My style started when I ventured out of my hometown to college. There, I discovered myself, and by discovering myself, I realized how I wanted people to see me. Since college, and because I had a terrible time finding a job, I have been living in my hometown again. A little bit about my hometown: it's a tourist town, and it's very small. That's all you have to know. This town consists of around 850 people, give or take. Therefore, my style doesn't exactly fit in here, and sometimes my mom likes to remind me of that fact. At the same time, if I didn't continue to dress the way I do, I wouldn't be staying true to myself.
I don't care what people think about me, and yes I do turn many heads and receive many confused faces, but I also receive several compliments.
However, the main thing is that I dress for myself, not for others. My style makes me happy and makes me feel beautiful.
My sister styled my hair once when it was past my shoulders and it stood straight up before we combed it back, going for the vintage poofy look. She loved the look when it stood straight up, like a mohawk, and asked if she could do that again some night. Recently, I went to the hairstylist and asked for a bob again. Since my hair is shorter, I figured it was time for the mohawk so I asked Andrea to style it, and she was so excited. I did ask her to curl it back a little bit instead of having it stand straight up. She thought I would chicken out, but I did go downtown with my hair styled like it is in the photo. And I received many stares, but also several compliments as well. I was nervous to walk into the bar, but the fact was that I loved my hair style!
Stay true to yourself, and have fun with fashion!
The skirt (that I chose to wear as a strapless shirt): $19.99 Charlotte Russe (paired with black leggings and black pumps)
