First Day Of School Outfits #2 And Why I Started This Blog

Here's a couple of outfits I put together:

I've seen lots of people online and off stressing over what to wear on the first day of school. A few ideas... (Thursday and Friday are the open house days for my school! I'm going to miss Summer!)

• Wear an outfit that fits your personality. I'm wearing a 80's style sweatshirt with Transformers on the front, a pink tank top underneath, and skinny jeans. What does this say about my personality? I'm not really sure, but I like it.

• Wear your newest clothes. It's nice to look good when meeting your teachers and possible friends forever for the first time.(:

• Because me and my best friend are both dorks, we're going to wear almost matching outfits! You can get together with a friend or two and decide on matching outfits to where. Cute & fun!

A small rant...

Today I came across a website about what to wear to school. It said something along the lines of "There are after school hours and weekends to exercise individuality and clothing choices". For some reason that made me mad... It sounds like whoever wrote that is telling you to NOT be yourself. This reminded me of the Fairy Oddparents episode where Timmy wishes everyone were the same and they all turn into grey blobs... how exciting. Click here to watch the episode! Everyone needs a cartoon break every once and a while.(: Don't be afraid to be different and express yourself at school! Being unique is a good thing!

And now, I'm going to tell you why I'm writing this blog!

Even though I have 4 more years to think about it, I've been wondering- what do I want to do when I'm older? I've considered being a writer, photographer, video game designer/writer, working at a zoo, being a librarian, and more!

While on vacation I saw lots stores in a city that inspired me (If I ever do open a store, it's going to be in that city!) My best friend's dream is to open up her own tattoo shop. We were talking about opening a clothing store within or next to the tattoo shop. I'd want to sell Vintage clothes and all kinds of styles that aren't "in" at the time... I also think it would be cool to design my clothes or something like that. I don't know much about fashiony stuff, so I thought making this blog and reading other peoples blogs would help. I also love writing. Maybe this will improve my writing skills too! Who knows, I might change my mind later...

(Also, I noticed most of outfits I've been putting on here are sorta almost the same- skinny jeans and a top. I'm going to try changing that in the future!)

First Day Of School Outfits #1

Sadly, the end of summer is near... But that's okay! You can show off your clothes when school starts! Here are some tips on clothes and school. I'll also be sharing some outfits I will be wearing to school in later posts. Maybe you can gain ideas from them... (:

• Be creative

Creativity is important in school and lots of other places in life too! Copying other peoples outfits and clothes EXACT isn't very creative. Try adding your own thing to the outfit... Like a cool belt or some flashy accessories or adorable scarf. It makes you much more unique. You can also start your own trend... Get some friends to help! Maybe you can get more people to follow this trend. It has happened before at my school with beaded bracelets, brightly colored skinny jeans, and long colorful socks.

• Don't care

Lets say you bought a new pair pants and they looks GREAT on you. They're hot pink, extremely bright, and stand out ALOT. You love them anyways, and wear them to school. A few people snicker and laugh at them. WHO CARES?!* You shouldn't, they look great on you. So, that concludes this! If it looks good on you, and you like it then don't care what other people think. Wear what makes you comfortable and happy.

*Note: Before you wear them to school, show a few of your friends or your family members so you can get honest and decent opinions from them. You may love the pants, but sometimes your love ones know what really looks good on you! You should care about their opinions.

• Be Confident

Confidence is crucial in school. I know this, because I'm one of the quieter people in my class. Being quiet probably didn't make me seem confident, but this year I'm going to try talking more.(: And to any other quiet people out there who might be reading this- I challenge you to talk more in class! Leave comments below with stories of you going from quiet to more confident and loud (Or just a little louder.) Other things you can do to seem more confident: Don't compare yourself with other people, be happy with who you are! Look happy, just because you may feel a little down doesn't mean you have to look sad! Dressing nice helps too.(:

(I knoooow, this didn't have much to do with clothes... but maybe it'll help you.)

Here's an idea... On the first day of school where RAINBOW or bright colors. Why not stand out from the crowd for a day? The first day of school only comes once a year, it would be fun(: Maybe you'll like being bright colored and rainbow and will want to do it everyday... Or not. :P Rainbow looks great with black. You could wear black skinny jeans and a rainbow shirt. Or you could wear a black skirt, rainbow socks and a grey shirt with an adorable rainbow bow and black Converse and nerd glasses and... I think I got a little carried away there... Anywayyys, dress up nicer then usual or funner on the first day of school! Again, it only comes once a year! It's like a holiday that nobody really wants to come... Unless you like school... (:
