Flower crowns. High waisted shorts. Crop tops. This is your basic outfit of way too many girls between the ages of I wanna say 14-18. And quite frankly when these trends first started I liked it. The whole boho, effortless vibes was something I totally dug. Until everyone and their mother and their mother's niece was wearing a Coachella inspired "hipster" if you will style. The stores of Brandy Melville, Urban Outfitters, and Topshop ate this shit up. Giving girls hundreds of different washes of "vintage" looking short shorts and a basic white crop top became all too easy. I am totally for dressing how you want to dress so I'm not saying that this look is something you shouldn't wear, but I would like to see more variety. Fashion to me is about the patterns, shapes, colors, and the masterpiece you become when you put on the clothes you love. I think of fashion as makeup in the sense that I can become who I want and feel good while doing it. I would like to say I loved clothing right out of the womb, but then I would be lying to you. I first remember my love affair with designing clothes when I was around 9 or 10. Since then it has been something I have loved and cherished. I could do a whole post about my journey with fashion if I end up thinking that's interesting enough. For now I just want to give a piece of advice that will probably end up sounding cheesy but I will tell you anyway. Don't be afraid to wear something because its not what everyone else is wearing. Choose to wear things that make you happy because they will. I find it pretty incredible that wearing a certain outfit can impact a person's confidence and mood.
This is my first all fashion post and I really want to continue to do more even though it might be a challenge snapping outfits I wear. This will be something I will definitely have to work on and for now this is just an introduction of sorts <3
