I know everyone thinks they’re different, unique and expressive in their style, but in reality, they’re not.  If you think about what girls wear at our school, I’m sure everyone would have the same answers.  Leggings and Uggs, Sperrys, t-shirts and jeans, etc.  I’ll even admit I fall into this category sometimes because I don’t feel like planning an elaborate and trendy outfit.

But hopefully, that can change.  Being different doesn’t consist of wearing the same old thing that everyone else wears and shopping where everyone else shops.  It means branching out and wearing something you personally think looks good and not what looks good on other people.  It means trying out new patterns, colors and fabrics and not sticking to the basics.

So, to solve this problem, when you get dressed for school in the morning don’t think about what others are going to think about your outfit.  You’re overlooking who matters most when picking out an outfit–yourself. 

It’s not a bad thing to go along with current trends, because that’s why trends are there, to be followed.  But if you want to take part in a trend, make it your own.  Accessorize your ensemble unlike anyone else to make it truly different and trendy.

Personal style expresses who you are, and if everyone dresses the exact same, how can anyone be noticed at all?
