Hello and Happy July!
This past week I was at camp, singing & dancing for the good Lord. And while at camp, we talked a lot about social media and how it can effect your personal self. This post is not a “how to leave good digital footprints on the internet” or a “how to protect yourself online.” I’m not your mother, you came here to learn something, and i’m gonna try!
Now the great part about social media is the amount of people it targets. There is an App for everyone, Fashion/Lifestyle Apps are my favorite. Now we’ve all had those late night Pinterest scrolling sessions where we wake up with 300 new pins that don’t correlate to your life in any way, shape, or form, but Pinterest is to blame for my overflowing closet and my somehow not overflowing wallet.
Though those Apps can help you and your fashion frenzy you may also posses, You can’t let them determine your style. YES, I know what you’re thinking, “Faith, you copy trends all the time!” and that’s true, I do! But you need to find your own style out of it. When you walk into the never-ending Forever 21, don’t buy every piece the mannequin was wearing and call it “your style”, grab pieces and create an outfit for you! Everybody is different and so should their style. Wearing an outfit that’s “cute” but doesn’t resemble you just because you want more compliments, is no fun! Sure, not everyone will love your style but it’s about what YOU want to wear, and soon enough they’ll love your style for the originality and confidence it brings to you! So take a leap out of the catalog and go find your style, it’s waiting for you!
xoxo, FAB.
