I think what you wear is a part of who you are. I like wearing sweatpants and sweatshirts alot because it is comfortable. But sometimes, if I'm in a good mood or I feel like wearing something nice, I usually will. It usually all depends on how I feel that day.
There are either two ways you'll see me dress; like i forgot we had school or a formal/casual mix. In any outfit, I will always have a sweatshirt. This shows that sometimes, I don't really care about what I wear. I'm more focused on what I am doing, and my performance. What you wear tell al lot about who you are. For instance, if you wear a lot of bright, fun outfits, then you might be someone just trying to have fun; graphic Tee shirts express your interest, accessories show what you like, etc. Everything is in a equation and sums up to equal you.
My personal style is a mix between geeky/nerdy (at times) and comfy/casual. What you wear is a basic form of self expression. It can be one part of how you display yourself to others, or how you want others to see you (which are usually two different things). The important part about wearing what you like to wear is being true to yourself rather than wearing something to impress someone else. As long as you wear something that you feel comfortable in, and you like the way it looks on you, then there should be no problem. Clothing and accessories reflect your identity and culture because those are two parts of you may go into what you wear. For instance, there might be certain types of clothing in different cultures that one might wear for special occasions. Your identity falls right under what you like to wear as far as interests go.
You are what you wear. We can express a lot about our personality through our sense of style. Imagine a world where everyone wore the same thing, bought the same items and wore the same accessories. Fortunately, you can create and express your style in any way you wish through your feelings, thoughts and interest. Clothes say a lot about a person. Have fun with it!
Personally, I think they way you dress has a huge impact of who you are and who you strive to be. But, your outfit does not always accurately define who you are. Some days I dress a little more edgy, some days I dress a little more preppy, but overall I dress how I am feeling that day. I could outfit could make a good impression or even put you in a better mood, but I think people forget to step back and realize that your outfit does not define your actions or who you are.
It’s easy to forgot who are are (and who you want to be) when you’re going through school and ushered through life, but personal style helps me feel grounded. Sorting through vintage and thrift shops for hours on free weekends can almost seem tedious, but finding the right piece - an old military coat or patterned silk blouse - or even the very, VERY wrong piece - a pair of leather pants with cowhide patches or tasmanian devil underwear - helps me rediscover a little part of myself I sometimes feel is lost. Lots of color and accessories, jewelry and patterns - they all help remind me that I’m me and I’m alive and there’s nothing greater than that. Cutting my hair in a split-second decision makes me feel in control and makes any other quick choice a lot easier to handle. Leather jackets and bright pink combat boots help me feel whole and are a celebration of life and of love and are, more than anything, a reminder that I am stronger than I may seem, and certainly stronger than I feel.
Each day when I come into class, at least one classmate says “ooh she’s got a different look today!” I love changing up the clothes I wear and keeping my peers on their toes guessing what I’ll wear next. There’s really no way to describe my style. I take inspiration from all types of styles, grungy, preppy, chic, couture and more. I usually shy away from regular clothes you find at a mall and always find my key unique pieces at thrift stores. To get the real feel of vintage clothing, I even shop around in my grandmas closet! I would say my style reveals my personality, it shows I’m always open to new things and I’m unpredicatable. I really only started to dress the way I do now about two years ago. What stopped me from really expressing myself in my outfits before was my fear for what others may think of me. I’m glad I learned to let that go and just be me.

I believe that when someone says style everyone has a different way of hearing. My parents might think of bright colors and big clothes, but when I think of style I think of my favorite colors and the classic jeans and a sweater. I believe my style is retro and I like the 90s looks. My personal style might mean I have a sense of fashion for some, and others may think that what I'm wearing is not in style. I don't dress like my friends because they usually dress very bland in the common legging and a sweatshirt. I usually look for interesting pieces of clothing that would never go out of style and nobody will have something like it. Everyone has a different style and that might be the reason why everyone is judged by the way they act or dress.
If someone who is my moms age were to look at my overall style of clothing, they would probably say ¨that's something I would have worn when I was a kid¨. I wouldn't say I dress in parachute pants and backwards caps, but I would say I dress differently from the modern t-shirts and jeans trends. I think my clothing choices say that I'm unpredictable, I tend to wear things that are completely different from what I've worn the day before. Although I'd love to say I'm the most original person on the planet, I know it's not true. The clothes I wear may be different, I might not wear any makeup at all and my hair may be shorter than the normal girl's hair, but I still take inspiration from those I'd love to be one day. The types of girls who can wear absolutely anything on the market and constantly look amazing are the girls I'd love to become. It takes time to fully understand who you are, personal style is a huge part of that. I would say I'm experimenting with my style any way I can, even though I could completely change my mind tomorrow. It´s a journey I'm glad to take.
