"When You Dress Good, You Feel Good and You Do Good"

Fashion is a way for individuals to express themselves. My closet is full of all types and styles of clothing that I have collected through the years. I do not like to categorize myself when it comes to my style. I do not have one signature style or one look that I pull off every day. I like to change up my attire daily and be different. Through fashion, I feel that I am able to express myself in any way that I please.

 My dad has always told me that, "when you dress good, you feel good and you do good." I have found this saying to be effective many times in my life. I am all about being comfortable in the clothes you wear, but that does not restrict you to sweatpants and a hoodie. It is possible to be comfortable and look presentable at the same time. You never really know who you might run into!

I believe that a problem that we have in our society today is the price we pay to keep up with the current trends. On magazine covers, Instagram photos, Facebook, and any other social media platforms you look at, you see celebrities sporting the newest trends. The key is to not go out and buy those specific items the celebrities were wearing; the key is to finding articles of clothing that you can piece together and make it something similar to what is in the photos. 

Many people, including myself, cannot afford the luxury of buying clothes from high priced designers, but what I can do is create outfits that go along with the trends at a price that I can afford. The only hard part if finding the great deals. I like to buy basic essential items that I know I will be able to piece with other types of outfits, pieces that won't restrict me to one type of style.

Having different styles is a choice that I make, because I find myself comfortable in different styles. How I dress does not define me as a person, but it does give others a glimpse as to what I am like. I just like to feel good in what I am wearing, and I like to stick to the basics.

Here is an article that I read about fashion a few months ago. I enjoy how the author, Katherine LaGrave describes fashion in the society we live in today.
