Wear What You Want, and Don't Be Afraid To.

In this world, there will always be people who criticize you. No matter what you do, or what you don't, there will always be someone against you. But you know what? That's okay.

Currently Recently featured on the Yahoo! news feed [yes, I'll admit that I check it once in a while] was Nicki Minaj's recent outfit on a talk show appearance. No, she wasn't donning an ensemble made out of pins or even an eccentric headpiece. This time, she wore a Mondrian-inspired colorblock body-con dress. Okay, but what's so special about that? That's the thing. It was't special. Actually, it's from the global retailer Forever 21. Teens  across the globe know what I'm referring to. Forever 21: any teenage girl's fashion megastore where 100% of all the clothes for sale are 100% polyester. Well guess what? Who cares?! I'll admit that I occasionally make purchases there even though I think it's a polyester superstore.

My point is, no matter how much the clothes off your back cost, wear them proudly. If it looks nice and it catches your eye, buy it. Don't be an obnoxious snob who only buys designer clothing just to own it and show it off.



Be your own fashionista! Wear what you want, and wear it with pride. Who cares what other people will think? You don't! Just because you don't have the same style as Anna Wintour doesn't mean you're not stylish.

Be a trendsetter! When people see what you're wearing and discover that they like your sense of style, you'll be the model they refer to!Trends come and go, but your job is to stay true to your sense of style.

In a nutshell, WEAR WHAT YOU WANT, AND DON'T BE AFRAID TO (apologies for the implied yelling). So go ahead, pull out those denim overalls! Now is not the time to be afraid of that leopard bodysuit. Wear it with a toothy smile and empowering confidence. Just please, oh please, don't pair it with a giraffe print.

Until next time,
