Happy New year y'all :)
So this post is going to be a little bit longer than most of my other posts, because i have a lot to say. I had a post all written out last night and when i went to post it it deleted so i didnt post it so now it is that post combined with another idea hah :)
Before I start rambling, i have a little announcment for you alllll. :)
I TELL Y'ALL TO COMMENT AND Y'ALL DON'T COMMENT BUT I KNOW Y'ALL ARE OUT THERE! Okay, this isn't your guys fault because a number of people have asked me why their comments don't send or won't show up. So, if you do go to post a comment (which i'd love!) underneath the comment box is a little box that says "Comment as" and there is a drop down box. You have to click either a google account or whatever, (and you sign in or whatever) or choose an open ID. If you want to comment with an open ID you need a URL so you could use a twitter, tumblr, pinterest whatever! I really have no idea why it does this (I'm not too advanced with all of this computer stuff haha) so if any of you have more problems with commenting i'm sorry :(
Okay, so now onto the actual morals of the story :)
It's the beginning of a new year, and a lot of people do New Year's resolutions where they try to do something or change or i don't know. Whatever they choose to do. I never really did one and stuck with it, and i don't really know why. A lot of people say "what's the point? you're still the same person on January 1st as you were on December 31st." And they're right, but it's never too late to do something different. And doing it right at the start of the New Year is the perfect time. So why not?
This year, (or i should say so far two days into this year) I plan on doing a few different things.
I always want to tell y'all about the town I live in. If i told you I feel like you would understand a lot more about me and how i feel here, and my goals for when i get older. I don't live in a God awful, horrible town. No, it's not like that. I guess a lot of people might like it here. But i don't plan on staying here my whole life. The town I live in isn't tiny or big, it's kind of right in the middle. I see basically the same things everyday.
Think of New York City. (if you've been there. Or think of another really big, populated city.) Think of all of the different things you see there every trip you take there or everytime you walk down the street. No one is dressed the same. Everyone has their own sense of style. Many people are hurrying to actually get somewhere.
This is the kind of place I aspire to live. Where I live, a ton of people give me strange looks and comment on the things I wear because they dont go with the normal in my town I guess.(The other day I wore my extreme wedge booties to the mall and i should have counted how many people gave me the stink eye. Also, one day I wore shorts with tights to school and i heard kids saying "What is she wearing?" all down the hallway.) But also, other people have told me they like my outfits (which always makes me feel better!) and wish they could wear their clothes like that to school.
PEOPLE. WHY CAN'T YOU WEAR THEM TO SCHOOL?
I know why, because i used to be just like it.
People are always so quick to judge someone for what they wear. In middle school and my freshman year I would put on a cute little outfit before school and love it. But then, right before I walked out the door i would run back to my room and change into jeans because I didn't want to stand out. Why are we always so afraid to stand out and be ourselves? Really. As i've gotten older i've said screw it. Especially this school year.
Take chances! I dare all of you!
This year, I am not going to let anyones comments or looks make me feel bad about my outfit. The way we dress shows people what kind of person we are. I have always been a bit quirky. And i dress quirky. AND I LOVE IT. If someone else doesn't, that is their own fault. :)
Lately i've been loving grunge and indie. I've been loving sky high heels. If i love those looks why shouldn't i wear them?! They express who I am and what I like, which is the whole point of fashion! Clothes are made to cover our bodies. But they are also made in different styles and colors and cuts to express who we are. And it doesn't go just with clothes. Nails, hair, make up, jewlery, tattoos everything. I LOVE ombre hair and colorful hair. I love hot nail art. I wish i could do a smokey eye because damn are they sexy. (i always look a bit like a racoon because I am horrible at doing makeup haha :))
I dare all of my beautiful readers to do something crazy and dress how they want this year. Don't be afraid! I know I was not too long ago. I got my new Teen Vogue issue today and found such a great quote in an article called "Crazy Beautiful" and the article is basically about half of what i just wrote to y'all. It's about the new hair colors and styles and nail arts and piercings and all that jazz. This article truly inspired me, and i think all of you should read it. While i was reading it, i felt like the author was reading my mind. It was on point. The quote that really stuck with me was from a girl named Andrea being interviewed:
"If someone is bold enough or stupid enough to judge me for my style, I take it as a sign that I shouldn't waste my time on them."
This stuck out to me immediately. Because it is so true and I want all of y'all to remember it. I know that I sure am.
So that is the end of my ramble. Y'all got to know a bit more about me. But now I want to know more about you. :)
Comment (if it works! fingers crossed) what you want to do differently this year and/or what your favortie style is that you love. I want to know!
I am already planning out tomorrow's post, so excited for you guys to see it :)
So see you tomorrow everyone! <3

p.s. I love you all so much for reading! <3 :)
