When I think of style, I think of the way it offers a new excitement every day as I explore different personality traits, values, or new objects of obsession after watching a new show. When I wear all black - if I am wearing pants, I must wear a top with specific clean details such as white buttons, a clear collar, and long sleeves (insert style tip 1- Try pairing it with a pump, oxfords or loafers to achieve a chic yet sophisticated look). When the top has a larger fit, I tend to have looser expectations of myself that particular day and do all my tasks with nonchalant confidence (insert style tip 2- I suggest always looking in the men's section for a loose fighting shirt, not only do they last longer, but they will give you the perfect balloon effect after tucking it in your favorite pants!). If the top is a tighter fit, expectations of myself are less flexible, my loose confidence is usually replaced by a desire for well-informed independence and a desire to challenge myself and others. When I put on blues and oranges, I am ready to breathe, sing, and live like never before. I am ready to dance in a well-lit garden with vines on the wall covered with tulips in all colors, while I take in all the splendors around me. While enjoying the dance and feeling at my brightest, I feel ready to be the character easily swamped by nature’s emotions and see beauty in all that is in the world. When I wear shorts - oh yes the green shorts- and pair them with something light and something yellow, I feel like a child again. I feel like a child that can marvel at all the innocence and curiosity the world has to offer. When I wear pinks and violets I am ready to be my most feminine as I smile all I want and feel pretty when I am hurrying off to my classes and occasionally steal a glance at my reflection in tinted windows. When I wear hot pink I am usually hit by nostalgia as I revisit my childhood with Barbie movies, but when I wear a lighter shade of pink, my mind could either be plagued with thoughts of how I could better person or analyzing Regina George’s actions and what a leader can learn from her. My taste in how I style my clothes has immensely influenced even the way I live my life. I do not know nor understand how all this came to be but I can only remember a time when this was not the case.
