Dress YOU!

Lots of us live in cultures where what you look like has a lot of importance put on it and although fashion is awesome and is a great expressive outlet, the problem occurs when we're dressing for other people. Nowadays we're under so much pressure from the media, etc. to look a certain way and follow trends that it is so easy to find ourselves dressing to fit in but we don't need to. 

For example I have this dress I love with a plaid top and a leather skirt and I really wanted to wear it yesterday but I've always found it really difficult to style. That was until this weekend when I put it with a white jumper, a leather jacket, brogues and a bowler hat. I thought the outfit was killer but worried about how it looked. Was it too much leather? Was the jumper too long. And when other people expressed similar concerns I let it get to me; that's when I realised that however happy you are with yourself there's still a good chance you've cared about what others think and that shouldn't be the case.  Leo realised that all of us have the power to change this but letting and helping everyone just be theirselves.

I wore the outfit, and because I loved it I was confident and I think that came across. I felt awesome all day and felt like I treated more like an adult and less of a child by everyone around me. Someone actually asked me to take a picture for them! I just gave off an air of confidence because I was in a city and clothles I love. It doesn't matter if others don't like what you wear if you love it and it makes you confident wear it! Wear what you want and do so with pride.

While I was in London yesterday, in this killer outfit, I went to Monki and saw a candle with a quote on it that sums up how I feel perfectly;

"Be Fierce, Be Awesome, Be You"

And I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that you are fierce and awesome and to just be and dress you!

What's an outfit that makes you feel fierce and confident? Leave me a picture or description. I'd love to know!
