Hello darling! Getting all dressed up to meet powerful, dedicated people who are in positions you either admire or hope to one day be in can be scary. I mean, what do you even wear? I can’t even tell you how many different outfits I tried on for Her Conference before I decided to go for, yes, the first dress I tried on (on sale right now). Don’t you hate when that happens?
Her Conference was a blast. Wait cross that out… Her Conference was inspirational. It was a breath of fresh air, in a weird invasive way, hearing that all these incredible role models struggled finding their path. All of the different courses they took to end where they are now spoke so much to me. Bottom line being: everyone struggles but eventually you’ll find your footing.
Hearing that is something that needs to be shouted from roof tops and heard past the mountains. Today, in society, we often see how put together everyone is. May it be through Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or even these blogs, it just seems like everyone has found the button that says “make life great and easy” while some of us are stuck in a wad of gum. Thats why it is so important hearing the “before” story and sometimes even the “during” story. The only problem is most people don’t want to talk about all the little hiccups they’ve had on the way. The thing is, those little hiccups make you who you are. The time you got rejected from that dream job, that time you spilt coffee all over your proposal, or even the time you decided to step back because you just simply had too much on your plate. You may call these minuscule things setbacks or failures but they’re not. They make you who you are, and you are a remarkable person.
With that in mind, I’m trying to discontinue negative influences in my life and start bringing in more positive vibes. Whether that be unfollowing anyone on Instagram who seems as if they are adding a negative vibe to my life or adding people who may share body positivity, motivation, or just simply laughter to my life. I firmly believe that the people who you are drawn to and become friends with explain who you are as an individual. When you see a friend who is maybe nice to you but mean to others, step back and think to yourself if you would do the same. If you wouldn’t, maybe it is time to say goodbye to that person. If you incorporate positive people in your life and you will have a positive life.
Now, I hope that wasn’t too “deep” or whatever. My blog tends to be light and fluffy sometimes but now that I’m an ‘adult’ *cough* *cough* not really *cough*, I thought I would share my vast 22-year-old wisdom. But, no really, I would love to know your thoughts on this and/or any personal experiences you’ve had with incorporating more positive influences in your life. I would love some advice so leave a comment down below.
As always,
Now if you didn’t already think I’m crazy about what fashion means to me get this… I honestly believe that your fashion sense tells what a person is like. Don’t believe me? Think about what most people in your daily lives wear. Do they wear loud colors? Do they wear laid-back outfits? Do they wear self-seeking outfits? These people want you to think something about them. People are drawn to clothing pieces that they genuinely like. Hello, that’s why clothing stores even exist. Not everyone wears a free t-shirt they won at a basketball game everyday. Now I’m going to get painfully honest with you. People don’t see your personality first they see your appearance. Oof! Did that sting? So what does that mean to me, Logan? Why do I care? Well, how do you want people to perceive you? Loud? Wear bright colors. Artsy? Color block your outfits or wear something unique you found at a little boutique on an avenue you passed during your vacation. Are you an A type? Wear the crap out of preppy clothes. Hello, J. Crew is calling your name. What is your personality? There are so many different combinations! Sometimes you feel every single way so you can mix and match. No one ever told me that I can’t wear a leather jacket with a silk top. It makes things interesting and it helps people figure out who you are.
