develop my own style

I got my first pair of Converse hi-tops a little while ago. I love them. My first pair of converse were brown and fuzzy and comfy. But I hate brown so I never wore them. I also got a bunch of necklaces that look edible. They look like candy. They are all super bright: yellow, green, blue, orange, and pink! Lol. And I bought two pairs of fingerless gloves. One pink, one white. Both with black stripes. So.. I guess that’s my style.. I made my own bracelet before. But I misplaced it. :( I want it back! NOW! lol.

I’m noticing how I like bright colors and metallics. I guess that is my style. But I’m still not sure what else I like besides that. I’m still figuring that out. I loove Converse tho.

Here’s how to develop your own style:

I think it might work. I’ll try it today some time, see if it works!! :)

This is a list of stuff that I like to wear and I feel “me” in:
- low-tops
- short-sleeved hoodies
- sparkles!
- boot-cut jeans
- bright colors: blue, green, orange, silver.
- bright bright nail polish
- mismatched socks

I think that’s it. :)

I put on makeup the other day. It was similar to the way my best friend does. And then she said, “Be yourself.” And then I realized – mentally smacks forehead – that I was trying to be like someone else, instead of having my own style. Helloo?! Anyone home? Developing your own style is one of your goals. Stupid me. All I need to do is figure out all the stuff I’m comfortable in, that I feel “me” in and then I will know, “This is me. I am me right now.” It must feel really good to be yourself and not pretend. Not that I’m pretending to be someone else. I just don’t know what my own style is yet.

Mom took me and my sister, Alex, back-to-school shopping. Here’s what I got:
1. This gray tank top with silver sequins on it. I am soo in love with it. It’s totally me. From Forever21.
2. Two striped, hooded t-shirts. One blue, one gray. From Boscovs.
3. Turquoise hoodie. It’s reversible. So fetch! From Pac Sun.
4. Two pairs of skinny jeans. One blue, one gray. lmao.
From Boscovs)
5. Two pairs of leggings. One black (from Forever21), one gray (from Boscovs).
6. Orange polo. From American Eagle Outfitters aka AE.
7. Indigo t-shirt from AE.
I also got a studded belt, black and white fingerless gloves, yellow, green, and silver nail polish, and that’s it.

OMG! While we were at the mall we met this dude and he showed us this thing with hand lotion and a nail buffer and cuticle oil or something. And we also got this face gel stuff from him (you use it once a week) for your acne. I have acne. :( I hope it works.

I already picked out my outfit for the first day of school. And school starts in, like, 2 or 3 weeks. I’m really excited!! This year is going to be different from last year. Last year I was all depressed and everything. I’m on an antidepressant now (I take fish oil pills in the morning!! lol. xD). So yeah. I’ll just do my best. Maybe that bully from last year won’t be a bully this year. Who knows? I have a feeling this school year will be a really good school year though. We will see….

Mom says we can go on a big shopping spree right before school starts. I am really excited. I am pretty sure I will find some clothes that are me. Lately all my clothes have been stretching out. I dunno if it’s me or the washer, but it really bugs me when my clothes don’t fit perfectly. I don’t have enough black in my wardrobe. I have way too much white. Here’s what I am planning to do. I am planning to make a list of rules for next time I go shopping. I think I might make it right now actually.. Here it goes:
1. No boot-cut blue jeans. Get yellow or green skinny instead. xD
2. No white t-shirts. You have way too many.
3. No green hoodies. You have 5 or 6 of those. Go for orange or yellow instead.
4. Look for a few plaid clothing items you would wear all the time.
5. Look for some more animal print. Animal print rocks!
6. Get the essential wardrobe items you don’t have: black leggings…....I can’t think of any others.
7. Buy things in every color you can imagine. Just don’t get brown, pink, purple, and red. You don’t feel as powerful in colors you hate.
Yay! Now I feel prepared. xD

I think I need to start developing my own style because sometimes I look in the mirror and I see someone else. I think it’s because of the clothes I wear. They are too girly. I need a more edgy style… I need less pastels and more bright colors. I think I need more bright greens and yellows and oranges. I think I should get rid of all the clothes I never wear…I should get more accessories and bags and belts….But later. I am gonna have to talk to my mom about all this before I get ahead of myself….
