I Love Fashion Because I Like My Money Where I Can See It

Fashion is the unspoken language between groups.

Fashion is such a cool and unique way to speak without even saying a word.

It's a universal language between literally any person, culture or group. Your personality shines brightly through your ripped jeans and white tee. Maybe you're inspired by James Dean, or perhaps you were just born in the wrong era.

From just a slight glance, people recognize a style that they like.

High school is a pivotal point in a person's life, during which they're trying to find themselves and learn who they are. Fashion is there to inspire and break boundaries.

It's easy to get lost in all of the cliquishness of high school. Alas, style is there to be a stable community you can always run to.

Some people in high school masque their insecurities with fashion. They use it to boost their self-confidence, and that is really what it is meant to do - freely express your personality.

Once you find your sense of style, your confidence will be boosted. And that's an amazing feeling.

Knowing YOUR unique style is recognizable by the way you carry yourself.

Inspiring people to feel that same exact way is heroic. Not all heroes wear capes… BUT if you do, make it look good!

I wrote a paper during my junior year of high school, and I mentioned that certain clothes automatically toss you into cliques you might not want to be in. And sadly, that is true.

If you like dark articles of clothing, do not let someone label you as "goth." Or if you like Nike but you aren't athletic, do not be labeled as "athletic." Clothes are meant to be interpreted as whatever you want, but being mislabeled because of what you wear is not cool. (By no means, how women dress does not mean yes!!!)

Being confined to one group of friends gets boring anyway. Be friends with everyone. You will find yourself growing and learning from these people in high school. Always grow and learn from people.

Never limit yourself to one mentality or to one style. Switch it up! Keep 'em guessing!

Fashion is supposed to bring people together, not separate them. This includes any event for any age.

Embrace the uniqueness of people, and let people be happy.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
