Facing Fashion Fears Living Life Out Loud. It is time to face your fashion fears! Have you ever saw an outfit or piece of clothing in the store and thought, yes, I want that, however, when you get home you are too chicken to actually wear it out.
There is a million reason why that particular clothing sits in the back of your closet or under a stack of folded clothing and that’s because you are comparing yourself to a mannequin or a flawless Pinterest picture, or you don’t feel the right size or your awkwardly skinny… the list can go on and on.
Comparison Blackhole
With that doubt, you automatically put yourself in the bubble… I like to think about it as a comfort bubble. There is a line drawn in the sand. We all have one, certain colours we like to wear, certain styles, certain patterns and all those different from what you are used to in collecting dust and haven’t seen light.
In other words, our Pinterest page is more adventurous than we are. Believe me, I know it, you can see it for yourself on my page. I pin like crazy but never actually go out and try it out… until now, Dia&Co. inspired me to face my fashion fears.
What is my style?
Personally, I like tees and tanks that either have words on them or simple classic colours such as grays, blues, blacks, and whites. I am not a huge fan of patterns or flashiness. I love pants and not jeans and loose clothing instead of tight.
Also, shoe wise I am a running shoe in the day and thin high heel in the night type. What I have been admiring fashion-wise is long past your bum sweaters, thicker heel boots and leggings so I tried it.
I took out the patterned long sweater that I bought a Blue Notes and that has been sitting under a stack of clothing out and put it on for the first time.
I don’t remember when these leggings walked into my life but it was another thing, I never wore.
Shoes I Like
Now for the shoes! I love these boots, it has been something I wanted to try out and wear all fall season. I saw everyone wearing this style and wasn’t 100% sold on if it would work with me but it does and worth every penny at Payless.
Final Thoughts
If you don’t go out there and try it then you will never know if you will love it. Get out there and face your fashion fears. What is the worst that can happen? You actually might love what you’re wearing!
What are you waiting for, there is plenty of clothing out there just begging for you to wear them. All you have to do is take it off the rack and wear it out in the town. Happy living life out loud! It is time to face your fashion fears!
