Personal Style
I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos and reading blogs about fashion (mostly Dulce Candy‘s) and it’s got me thinking about my own personal style.
While most of the time I wear t-shirts and jeans, I do like to get dressed up once in a while. And while I think I look really awesome (without being egotistical, I think I look pretty), as soon as I leave the house I feel self-conscious, awkward, fat and, sometimes, miserable. It’s often tempting to turn my ass around and go change.
Case in point: my birthday outfit. I bought a really cute dress with an empire waist, white on top, thick black belt and black bottom. It came to just above my knees and when I tried it on I loved it. It suits my body shape, and with the right underwear smoothes out my lumps and bumps.
As soon as I got to the restaurant for dinner, I feel so self-conscious I just wanted to crawl inside myself and die. And I HATE feeling like that when I, honestly, look really nice. Feeling awkward is my biggest deal, I think – I don’t normally wear heels or dresses/skirts, so when I do I don’t feel ‘right’. But I enjoy wearing them and feeling feminine!
Anyone else had this same dilemma? And what would you call your personal style?
To answer my own question, I would call mine ‘neat casual’ – I’m never grotty (unless I’m just bumming around the house, of course), I will never leave the house in trackpants unless its just to go to my parents’ house or something – but I don’t really ever get dressed up, as such.
