Recently, I was asked my inspiration behind my sense of style and what triggered my infatuation with fashion. I soon realized that I couldn't give a proper answer and all I could come up with was "I don't know". But what I do know is that fashion to me is way more than just an "I don't know".
What better way to justify fashion than on a little blog post.
Maybe cliche, but clothing is my favourite creative outlet. I love to dress myself. As narcissistic as that sounds, I swear I enjoy doing other things; writing, reading, ballet, etc. (just to clarify). My outfit policy is comfort, creativity + confidence. All three are traits that our generation of young people seem to lack, sadly. I want to be able to help bring out those traits, even if it is as simple as giving someone a compliment.
I find myself satisfied with often being called "edgy" and doing my part by dressing "edgy". It's always how I convey my personality. I ALWAYS appreciate compliments/comments about what I wear/how I style my clothes, but at the end of the day, I think it all comes down to the level of comfort/creativity/confidence you have.. In your clothing, but more importantly with yourself.
Be able to compliment freely and make people feel good about themselves, but also be comfortable with what you wear and ultimately, be comfortable with yourself.
