Looking To Change Your Lewk? Here Are Tips For Improving Your Style

Sometimes we need a change. Whether that be buying a plane ticket and moving to Europe or wanting to change up everyday things about ourselves. Since my demographic is majority college students and we are all broke, I'm gonna assume yall are going with the later. Fortunately, I've changed my style A LOT. Some were good, some were bad (rip emo phase) but the key to finding your own style is a mix of the two. For example, my style consists of many basic articles of clothing. I don't like color, and neutral tones look best on me. However, there are things I would never be caught wearing like white jeans, platform sandals, and leather jackets. I'm not saying that those things are bad, I've just been there and I realized that I don't like wearing those types of clothes. Style is all about figuring out what you like and what clothes reflect your personality.

1. Ask people where they get their clothes from

I CANNOT stress this enough. Ask people where they get their shoes, jewelry, shirts, glasses. The majority of the time they'll tell you. Use their answer to do some digging into what clothes they have. But just a disclaimer, don't buy the same stuff as them cause that's just embarrassing when you both are wearing the same thing.

2. Pinterest

Pinterest has every aesthetic under the sun. Utilize Pinterest boards to create outfits, look at room decor, or plan your next hairstyle. There's a reason why indie and alt kids love using this website so much. To get started just look up 'vintage 90s clothes'.

3. Pop Culture

No shade to the South, but statistically, we normally are very behind on pop culture. Because most trends don't start in the South, use social media to see what other people are wearing, listening to, and doing. Pop culture influences so much of what generation z does, that it's very obvious when other people our age don't keep up with trends. And please stop wearing Vineyard Vines and bell-bottom jeans yall aren't from Connecticut, we should've left those back in the 2010s.

4. Friends

We tend to adopt the personality and style of the people we hang around the most. Normally the things that draw us to other people are things we have in common. If you think about your friends, you might realize that your styles could already be pretty similar. Use this to your advantage and figure other things that influence their style. Find out who they follow on social media, what their Instagram explorer page looks like, who they listen to on Spotify, and who their style inspiration is. Use this as a talking point to get to know your friends on a deeper level while also growing your style together.

Finding your own style isn't something you can do in a week; its a journey. Take your time because if you go and throw out your entire closet and erase all your playlists, you're gonna regret it. Because those things are apart of who you are. Don't completely erase your style because you think someone else's is better. Just grow and evolve from what you already have.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
