Wear it! How to feel confident out in the Public eye

First of all, this is my first members only blog post so if you're reading this thank you so much for supporting this passion of mine!

I know so many people don't wear what they want to or try out trending styles they know they would rock! All because they are worried about what others will think! It can be intimidating to wear something different from your family and friends, but in the end, as long as you are covered and aren't wearing anything offensive or of bad taste.....WHO CARES! If anything, people like me who love fashion and putting together outfits, will stop and stare to admire your outfit if we see you walking the street! You could be helping others feel more confident and motivated to wear what they want! I know it's easier said then done, and you will probably still get some hate on whatever it is you're wearing. And I could go on and on about why people think it's necessary to hate on others fashion taste and why you should wear what you want and try new styles and pieces but we don't have time for that right now (although let me know if you guys would want another post about some of that topic in the members only section). Let me tell you a little personal story of mine though.

So this isn't my most favourite picture or outfit of mine, but the story does mean something. When I was taking these pictures there were 2 teenagers near by watching me and my friend taking these pictures. I was uncomfortable at first and debated doing it right in front of them. But I decided if I was going to take these pictures in front of them I was at least going to be confident and pretend I couldn't see them. In the end I felt so good about what I just did and felt so confident. Now I know what you're thinking, "she did not just tell me to fake it until you make it" and to that I say yes because there is a reason people say it. BUT the main point of this story is slowly but surely practicing being confident in whatever you are wearing, and wearing things that are slightly out of your comfort zone, and slowly build enough self love for yourself that you can trust in yourself that you can rock anything you want to and show the world you don't care what they think. Who cares if 10 people hated your outfit if YOU loved it! Or maybe there was just 1 person that saw you, and because of you they felt inspired to wear something out of their comfort zone and now they are more confident in their fashion sense. That could all be because of you! How will you ever discover what things you like or don't like and what pieces you think look good on you if you never try them! If there is one thing I want you to take out of this blog post is I want you to promise yourself the next time you leave the house you will conquer a fashion fear or wear an outfit you've been to scared to wear. -Lily
