Reminder.
I feel so out of touch with fashion lately. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like everything is so excessive..like the shopping mall. Right from the start, I’ve never like to go with the flow. (Even if what I have seems ‘now’, I tend to wear them in my weird way. That I admit.) It’s kinda scary with everyone wearing similar things. I hate bumping into people wearing something similar. It’s not about a comparison of the better wearer, but it’s just sad because it seems like you are everyone else who is trying to be someone else. You get me? Maybe you don’t.
I’d really like to get back to the basics of dressing and what attracted me to personal style and fashion in the first place. It doesn’t have to be minimal. But the idea that you aren’t trying to be anybody else except yourself. Don’t be afraid of stares and the opinions of others. After all, it’s about telling a story.
That, I constantly remind myself.

i think i get you but i can't make a stand for it if you asked me to. one of my social science tutors contended that perhaps we're not so unique after all. i certainly don't disagree with her if our observations were similar.
i tried to "tell a story" with my clothes today. i couldn't get past myself with the tie i had on over my long top (before that i wound the tie around my waist as a belt). was i being myself if i wore that out? er.. yes and no? was i trying to be someone else? not really. what did i wanna tell people with the outfit? i'd love to convince people i'm a creative dresser. but i'm afraid of the stares and guffaws.
In my opinion, there is no need to convince people about your dressing sense. I dont really care about the 'stares and guffaws'. So long i feel good about what I'm wearing. (:
Ps: I would use the tie as my belt. Have a couple which I DIY!
