This Summer, Dress to Feel Like Yourself

I dress how I like.

This Summer, Dress to Feel Like Yourself
Dress Up

This is a response to the article, "Dressing For Yourself and Not Others, With Confidence and Comfort."

I always like to dress comfy but stylish. I like to dress to feel the best version of myself. Even on my lazy days off. I couldn't care less if people judge about what I wear or not. I only want to please myself. And in opinion, anyone should do the same. People should dress to only please themselves.

When I was a preteen, I wanted to dress to impress my fellow peers. I tried to dress like other girls. But I knew I didn't feel like myself. I thought I would be more popular if I tried to dress what was trendy at that time. But now as a 25 year old, that did not matter anymore. As I grew up, I've learned to not conform to society pressure because I've figured out it doesn't matter and life is too short to worry about the silliest things. I figured that I would be happier to be my authentic self.

For now on, I only dress to impress myself. I like to dress in sundresses, leggings, crop tops, big chunky sweaters, heels, shorts, and sweats of course. I dress how I want, depending if I'm going out or not or how I'm feeling that day.

To anyone reading this, dress to feel like yourself. Do not care if people judge or not. Haters are going to hate. It's your life so live it by wearing what you want. Since it's getting closer summer, you can catch me wearing sundresses, shorts, and crop tops.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
