I knew you weren't from around here

"Ha, the first time I saw you....I knew you weren't from around here, who wears a sundress to the club? I said to myself either she is new here or she is visiting someone. Man, I'm so happy that you walked in here today not dressed like that anymore."

Ha, can you believe a guy actually said this statement to me. He said it as a compliment. I look better now than I did. He also says things like "you don't look like you'd be the type to wear sneakers."

What?!?! Now there are people who like to wear sneakers really. I want shoes lol who cares what they are. (only in my opinion, i know some people are die hards)

I have been a non-conformist as long as I can remember, and when he said that comment, how I don't look like everyone else I wanted to scream. The scream would have been something like "You really think I'm worried about what you all wear down here, and want to dress like everybody else?"

But I shrugged it off, who cares about his opinion really, now if this opinion came from somebody I thought was important like the fashion designer Mikasa La'Charles, for example....maybe I would re-look at my "fashion sense."

I was looking through the Essence website at hot looks from DC (I think howard's hc) and I absolutely love noticing that no one looks alike! No one has the same style, no one has on the same colors or earrings, or anything. And I think it looks amazing. Let's all have our own style, our own look that we can bring to enhance fashion, to enhance life you know!

Flavor, individuality, different, = beauty!

I mean I rocked a sundress everyday over the summer like I was headed to the beach instead of a concrete jungle and an office with no windows.


Be fly! Happy Homecoming, Halloween and happiness!
