Every year at the beginning of August students fight their ways to the mall on the search for the latest styles. Here's the thing though, I never wanted to wear clothes that everyone else was wearing. I didn't think I could pull off what other girls were wearing in the body I had. This mind set came from my life-long struggle with self-esteem. It wasn't until my senior year of high school did I feel confident enough to start wearing things I normally wouldn't. (For example, Daisy Dukes. But now I own 15 of them). And when I got to college I wore shorts nearly everyday. And in the winter I wore tights, something I swore I would never wear because my thighs were 'too big.'
Now in my 2nd year of college and almost 2 years of being confident in myself, I found a style that fits me and only me. I realized no one really cares about your size, but people do notice how confident you are. If I chose to hate myself for not looking a certain way then I will never be happy and the world will see me the same way I see myself. So, don't be afraid to mix things up. Whether that be with clothes, a job, or a new relationship. Only good things can come from taking chances.
