Pep Talk Time- Wear what you want


Hello there! How are you? I hope you're doing well :) 

Today I wanted to share my opinion on a matter and give some advise on gaining confidence in something you want to wear out though to others you think you may look a bit bizarre.

The majority of the time I go out with my friends they tend to apologise to me out of thin air. Want to know why? Because of what they're wearing. I would always think this was a very strange thing for someone to say and I would always be like "dude you look great!". One day though I finally asked one of my friends "why do you always apologies?" okay and yes I know my story is dragging on but it has a purpose so keep reading and don't click that tempting cross button!  She then told me "because you always look so put together and I look like crap". "Now hold the flipping phone because that ain't right or true" I said. 

I have learnt over the years to not give any care into what other people think about what I'm wearing and I think it's important that other people go by this as well. I know it's easier said then done because I've been there too but it's possible to gain that mind set.  

Your style is your style! If you want to dress in baggy comfy clothing when you go out to the movies then so be it. If you want to wear stiletto heels with a girly outfit during the day then girl you do it. If you want to wear vintage styled item of clothing then do it...you get my drift? In todays day in age we're so worried about what other people think about our appearance because we think everyone around us cares about what we look like but the truth is they're not looking because they give a shiz.  Don't hold back wearing the things you want to because believe it or not but you'll feel more happier when you do and with that will come confidence. 

Now here is my tip for you when you have an item of clothing that you really like but you think it's not what's "trending" or what other people would deem "fashionable" then begin wearing it slowly. Wear it around the house for a while until you feel like your rocking it and want to wear it out. If your still not sure then wear it around your closest friend who you feel won't judge you then make that final leap. 

I know this post was written in a slightly different style compared to most on my blog...I just really wanted it to be me talking like I do face to face with one of my friends when they ask for advise.

  1. So true! We lost so much happiness by giving in to peer pressure even when it doesnt always make us happy in the end. Being you, and dressing how you are confident, its a great way to stand up for yourself. Thanks for this reminder--

  3. This is a piece of advice I wish someone had given me when I was still in high school. Back then I was so insecure, I didn't dare to wear anything I liked, like a superhero shirt, because I was afraid people would laugh at me. Now I wear superhero shirts to my internship :P

    1. That's so good Envy! I know right, I once really wanted these superhero converse shoes but I never got them because I thought People would think I'm lame. Love your blog by the way I love how it's so personal
