I'm wearing: Striped Hollister Shirt-Thrifted ($2.99), Green No Boundaries Skirt-Thrifted ($3.99) White Vanity Tank-$5 Owl Necklace-hand me down
So I think I've finally nailed down my "clothing issues". I've been
dressing for other people! I wasn't getting dressed in the morning for me, I was
looking for a cute outfit other people would like! How insane is that?!
Instead of doing what I always talk about (dressing to glorify God), I was
trying to be something I'm not. I'll never be the best dressed, most
fashionable, or the best fashion blogger. I can, however, be the best me. I
think I was trying to emulate other people too much-simply because I admired
their style. For instance, I love how other people look in high heels, but I'm a
boots and flip flops girl! So, this morning I dressed like: me. I paired a
casual striped shirt with a casual green skirt. Nothing fancy, but it suits me.
I feel comfortable in this outfit! Maybe it's not your style, maybe it is. Take
it from me-be yourself! If you try to be someone else, you'll just end up being
a second rate _______(insert name) instead of a first rate you!
So true, Natasha! A great reminder for me as an artist as well. Lately, I've been trying to make the type of art that is popular in our culture even though it's not really my style. I'm going to try to make the stuff God puts on my heart rather than what is popular in the world's eyes.

So I like the outfit, and you DO seem comfortable and confident. Your post makes me wonder about all the other outfits you've done. I've not been following too closely what you call "Clothing Issues" so not sure there, but does this mean your other posts showed you in things you wouldn't normally wear other than for a picture??
ReplyDeleteThanks for your prompt reply N. :) I appreciate your point of view a lot more now with the added clarity!
ReplyDeleteI think you look great! I love the combination. :-) And I agree. Being yourself is always best!! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the fun stripes! I definitely agree with dressing in what you like to wear vs what other people want you to wear.

Amen sistah! It's such a hard thing to fully embrace, but being oneself is so worth it :) I also happen to love your skirt.
