You be you, I'll be me. Let's be free.
I was flipping through a fashion magazine this
afternoon, and pretty much fell in love with every outfit in it. After I was
done reading I opened my closet to see if I could somehow copy what I had seen.
Everything was so very beautiful and put together, and I wanted to be dressed
just like the models I had seen! I tried on literally everything in my closet
trying to replicate the styles, but it just didn’t look the same. It wasn’t long
before I became frustrated and started throwing articles of clothing around my
room like it was my job or something. I
flung myself down on my bed feeling beyond frustrated and grabbed the magazine.
I was looking at the cover when it suddenly hit me. Why would I want to mimic something
from the pages of a magazine that the general population reads? Why would I want
to dress like everyone else? Isn’t the whole objective behind the outfits to be
different?
The
outfits we see in our favorite fashion magazines each month are amazing, but
the whole point of them is to inspire us. Not for everyone to go out and wear
the same exact thing! So the next time you’re running around your room like a
tornado trying to look exactly like a Marc Jacobs styled model, STOP! You are
just as much a stylist as Rachel Zoe is! Be inspired yes, but also BE YOU! You
have so much to bring to the table when it comes to style! You have your own way of viewing things, so
take advantage of it!
Be proud, be you, and ROCK IT!
