This is kind of off topic, sorry! I've always had a problem dressing how I really want and showing my true style without worrying about what other people think of me! Do you ladies (and gents) have any tips for showing my true style with confidence and not worrying about other people's opinions? I'm on break now so I'd really like to go back to school with confidence and dress the way I want! All help is appreciated! Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas all :)

If you act confident, people will think you're confident. Then they would be like "hey she's confident, I'm going to compliment her". Which will make you feel even more confident and then you'll be happy with your new confident self:)

Honestly it took me until I was 15 to figure this out: fake it til you make it. If your friends are really your friends, they won't question or mock you. If they ask "why the change?" Just say "I've always preferred this style, actually." And move on :) maybe tell your best friend that you really like this style and have her back you up if people are rude or judgmental. Like if you hear someone say something, she can just tell you "ignore them, they don't matter." And keep walking. Because honestly, who cares what other people think? :) eventually dressing the way you want will be like your armor and nothing will hurt you so long as you're being yourself! At least, that was my experience :)

Thank you so much ladies! I'm really taking your advice to heart!
Hannah, I'll be sixteen in a few months so maybe its time for me to learn that too! :)

It's all good girl, I'm almost 20 and sometimes I still second guess myself and my style. Then I have to remind myself that I'm a bad*ss and I do what I want :)

When I was in school I used to get made fun of on like a daily basis of how I would dress, the backpacks I'd wear, my shoes, etc. but I actually liked it. & I was comfortable in what I was wearing & it was who I was. its funny because like a few years ago I had gotten a pair of combat boots & I wore them to school & was made fun of & called "puss in boots" n stuff & now there like a really huge trend. but just be you & you should have no worries

Thank you again Hannah!
Naomi, you're right! I started wearing combat boots when I was in elementary school and I loved them but everyone else told me they were ugly so that's part of the reason I don't wear what I want anymore :/

That is possibly my favorite thing anyone has ever said on this forum!^

Thanks Katie! The style I love is a mixture between edgy-biker and grunge!

Just don't worry about what other people say, if you like the outfit, then wear it! As long as your not harming anyone else do what makes you happy!

I was the same way...I went through periods where I was confident with my style and then something would just switch in my brain and I would be too scared to step out of my comfort zone. My style is very boho,and as much as I love some of my more quirky pieces, they're not the most flattering or trendy items on the planet. For the longest time I didn't know how to rock all of the 'weird' clothes in my closet. I worried about all of the assumptions people *might* make about me. I agree with the other girls - fake it till you make it. Even when I felt self-conscious, I went out and wore my crazy-ass clothes anyway, and pretty soon I WAS confident. The best piece of advice I can give is to dress for yourself; you don't owe beauty (or anything else) to anyone. You're here for you.

Thanks so much ladies!
Lizzy, I was confident with my style for a while about a year ago and then something just happened and I stopped dressing the way I liked just like you said! I don't know what happened, I just got scared I guess

I guess I worried that people would call me out on my style, and I would have to defend my fashion choices. The thing is, my choices are mine and only mine to make. I don't have to explain myself to anyone. And chance is, if you go back to school rocking your rocker-chic style, people will accept it because of your condifence. Be comfortable with who you are, because if you can't accept or believe in yourself, how can you expect anyone else to?
Anyway, that's just my two cents - hope I was able to help you somewhat :)
