Hi everyone. How are you all? I'm currently sitting in bed on this Monday morning thinking about the week ahead, and what I am going to be doing. The main thing I am going to be doing is cracking on with all my University assignments, because I am kinda slacking on it all, especially my dissertation (oops). I'm actually staying with my friend over the next few days so we are going to be having the laziest days ever, with coffee, TV, food and doing our assignments.
Today I wanted to talk about personal style, which is something that I am always trying to find and experiment with. I think its very important to find your personal style and to express your personality through your own style.
My personal style is always something which I have never quite found and I am still trying to find it.
I am someone who only ever wore black with some colour now and then because it made me look slimmer, and this is now something I am trying to avoid. Because that's not what personal style is, personal style is all about wearing clothing that you love. There is a lot of clothing which I always want to wear but I just never do because I don't feel confident enough to wear it. I have this constant thought in my head of 'I wish I could wear that'.
I am really trying to wear a lot more colour now, because I know it makes me stand out and it also gives me more personality. Even with make up, I am trying to make it more fun and wear different colours other than plain nude all the time. I love colour, and I definitely do not express my personality though my clothing enough of who I am because I'm so afraid of what other people think sometimes. But, I am a very bubbly and a person who wants to do everything, travel everywhere and experience everything fun in life. If i'm wearing boring and dull colours all the time then that doesn't really show who I am, does it? Wearing dull clothing all the time is not what or who I want to be.
Finding my personal style definitely has a lot to do with learning to love myself and I also find that I compare myself with a lot of other bloggers personal style rather than looking up to them. I try to be them instead and this is not the right way to finding my personal style. The right way to finding my personal style is to always try new things, which I don't do and I know that I have to.
I am always scared to try on clothes sometimes in case it doesn't fit me, or I look at it and think 'I'm not going to bother, because it won't even suit me'. I know that I can't keep thinking like this and that I have to try different styles of clothing because that is the way to finding my personal style. I have to wear clothing which I love and feel comfortable in, and not care what people think about me.
I want to wear more colours, wear different styles of tops and coats and also wear more types of trousers - I have always been a girl who lives in leggings, because they're so easy and I can wear them with anything. But, I want to spice it up and start wearing more jeans and different styles of trousers.
I am someone who lives fashion and style so much, and someone who aspires to be a stylist, so it's not good for me to not even have the confidence to find my own style. However, I'm very good at styling pieces together as long as I'm not wearing them myself usually. There is so much that I desire to wear.
If you guys have any other tips in to helping me finding my personal style, then please comment!
