Smile For Style

Style can be perceived as either good or bad based off of popular trends. Although style itself is not a trend. It is the unique art of expressing yourself in a way that will show outside of your skin. People around the globe create daily trends based off of what they see influencers wearing and doing. But what if we didn’t leave it up to the people who catch our eye to change us? What if we caught the eye of each other instead?

When deciding which outfit to put on in the morning, you base it from your mood. Each look stems from your feelings and how you want to be seen. If your goal is to get lost in the crowds of others, those are the simple outfits. Which is equally as creative if it is what works well for you. And if your style stands out more than that, embrace it.

Embrace the power you hold as you make your way through a hallway. Shoulders back, head raised, eyes determined, arms at your sides, one foot in front of the other. Step. Step. Smile. Step. Step. Smile. Show that you are happy with how you look. Nothing can get made fun of if it never bothered you in the first place. The power that your outfit holds can change your mood, so don’t be afraid to stand apart.

I personally am finally finding my style. I used to love dressing up and looking nice for school, but only did so every once in a while. Last year, my outfits were found to be heavily influenced on a friend I had. I wouldn’t always feel comfortable with dressing very girly, and tried more of a skater style. I would switch off between the two, liking them both. But then this year started, and I had new friends. I found how much I loved dressing up. It makes me feel better about myself, more put together. My outfits are one of the only things left up to me, under my complete control. I won’t dress for attention, but for my pleasure. Put yourself first tomorrow. And don’t be afraid to be the only one in the room dressed how you are. The confidence radiating from the back of someone who holds no questions towards their appearance is something everyone else will envy, willing to be admitted or not.
