Fear of Fashion

Outfit: Latiste

There's always a time when I find a very unique piece that's completely outside of my normal day to day outfits that pushes me out of my comfort zone and trying something new. I was gifted this two-piece set last year from Latiste; I stuck it in my closet when it came in the mail and it's just sat there ever since. It wasn't because I didn't love the outfit, it's absolutely gorgeous and I own the blue version of this, but this had very contrasting prints and was more bold than the blue option and other things I've worn. In my mind I constantly thought about, "Where would I wear this?!"..."Would people think I look insane?!"..."Does this even look flattering on?..." You know what, who cares if you look "crazy" and people stare at you wondering what you have on! It's all about whether or not you love what you're wearing and if it makes you feel confident. We're so quick to not wear something in fear of judgement of what others might say, pushing down who we truly are as people to fit the social "norm." All we're doing is losing ourselves and creating a fear of fashion. So I challenge you to wear that outfit you've been on the fence about! Wear those items of clothing that make you feel good about yourself and make you stand out! The only opinion that matters is your own.
